    hello~

    I am looking at the sony FE (core duo model).
    I was wondering if anyone know sony gives out student discount like hp/compaq (they probably won't but making sure)

    i know they have education solution or whatever (it requires making an account over the phone.. so i'll probably try that on monday)
    neone know what the benefit of that education soluthing thingy is?
    it seems more expensive with education solution for some reason!! (maybe no tax with free shipping? :confused: )

    well thank you for any help in advance :D

    as far as I know, the answer is no

    although they do offer online coupon if you are registered on sonystyle.ca, it gives you 5% off...yes 5%

    it is a tiny little one, but well, to be used on a ridiculous $3000 price tag, it's still better than nothing...

    I would like to know if there is other discount too, thx for opening this topic...

    I asked sonystyle customer service about student discounts and they said no. They did however send me a free laptop bag that I ebayed for $50.
