    Is it me or the student savings are currently not applying to the new CTOs? Z7, SR4, FW4, etc.

    You can always just call them and they'll apply it for you.

    Yeah, they're pretty nice. But most of the employees don't know what they're talking about.

    Hey guys, I got good news.
    I called Sonystyle to see if the discount applied to the new CTO, they said yes. All CTO models currently have a 5% discount. Since they just have updated the website w/ new CTOs, the discount has not been "coordinated" with the system yet; however if you call in to order, they can apply the 5% for you.

    So... order via phone to get your extra 5%! :) Enjoy!
