If you don't mind signing up for another card this is the best deal in town. I got all my credit within two months by using the card instead of cash for all my purchases. Plus, I got 0% APR so I have a year to pay it off.

Too bad it won't play PS2 games, or this would be perfect.

$3000 within 6 months, who the hell has that much cash. Hell if I have to run up a credit card bill of $500 a month for the next 6 months, might as well just but a PS3 for $400.

#3, spending $500/month is too much for a single one. It is not a big deal for a family. I got it for free after credit points $42. I bought it at dell.

Seems like a good deal, but thinking about it, spending $3000 on my normal credit card would get me $300 worth of credit card points that I could convert to cash anyway.
Possibly worth it for the initial $100 savings.

Did it with just the $100 savings. Awesome deal. Came with a free extra controller when i did it about a month ago.

#7 what kind of credit card are you using that yields a 10% cash (value) back? Most run closer to 1 to 2%?

#3, it's not that unusual. $50 a week on food is already $200. Add phone bills, water bills, electricity bills, and gasoline to that and it's not too hard to get there.

Yea, if you think about it $3000 in 6 months isn't that hard. It's just kind of a sticker shock when people see the 3000.

There are some rumors that Sony will come out with a slim PS3 with maybe even a price drop soon, if you can wait it might be worth it.

I just bought a new TV after putting it off for a LONG time and I wish I'd remembered they were doing this. 
I'm in the market. Now I have to wait for a price drop, I think.

What's up with the spam commercial #13? I thought this was a post, not an advertisement...

this deal works with any sonystyle purchase of $300 so you don't have to get a ps3. i have about $2000 in college summer tuition coming due so that would get me most of the way anyway. ended up getting the sony a300 dslr camera, which will be $300 after all the statement credits.

Soo...spend 3 grand and get a PS3 for $100. Sorry, but did I miss the deal? Why not cut the middleman out, and go file for bankruptcy today and skip the PS3 purchase?
