    thank you jjgoo

    sombody give me a ecoupon # SRFVXERTYU ($200 saving), I search from internet, and find the expiration of it is 11/27 (on thanksgiving day) which is Thursday. if I wait until Friday 11/28, whehter the ecoupon $200 saving will not available? on the other hand, if sony can offer bigger discount which is bigger than $200, then it is worth to wait.

    jjgoo, How do you think about that?

    Thank you so much

    I'm waiting until Friday after turkey day to buy my new AW. I feel confident they'll offer some type of incentive -upgrade, free RAM, etc..? If not then I'll wait for after Christmas. Pretty much it's a crap shoot.

    The coupon only works for SR2xx series and it could be combined with the $200 price drop on SonyStyle.com. Check fatwallet.com for other coupons, but there is no coupons for Z series right now.

    There was one for Z540CTO models, not sure if it has expired or not. I was able to find that, but unfortunately none for Z590CTO models.

    Ah, yes, just saw that. Darn, I'm already out of my 30-day price guarantee now, :mad: otherwise I could save another $250 :( ...anyone wants to buy a 1-month-and-1-day-old Z540EBB for $1500 plus shipping? :p

    none of the big retailers is offering any deal on the Z. Although bestbuy has a good deal on the AW, the 16.4", but only on black friday.

    Unless newegg or some other online retailer slashes the price, I will just wait after xmas. A lot of people just buy too many things and then the used market will be much better.
