The Sony Bravia HD LCD TV plus PS3 is back on.  As they ran over Christmas in Australia , Sony have announced the give away of thousands of PS3’s with the purchase of selected Bravia TV’s, and they are hyping it up with countdown tally.

Over the Holiday period late last year Sony gave away PS3’s with their high end BRAVIA HD LCD TV’s.  Though some folk with more money than sense were a little nonplussed about the whole deal , it was very popular.  And a great way to inflate PS3 sales figures.

Sony has announced that from July 1st they have another 35,000 PS3’s in a warehouse somewhere to give to new BRAVIA owners.

More specifically those that buy one of the following BRAVIA LCD TV models;

• XBR Series
• X3100 Series
• W4000 Series
• V4000 Series
• W3100 Series

To help you budget and plan for your purchase, Sony are also providing a way to track the number of PS3’s left in ‘the deal’.  This comes in the form of jumping on www.sony.com.au/PS3countdown or using your texting thumbs to send ‘how many’ to 0429 025 025 or call 1800 882 172.

Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment Australia and New Zealand, Michael Ephraim said, “Those who haven’t experienced the power of PlayStation 3 and the new world of HD entertainment don’t know what they’re missing out on. Through the combined power of the two Sony companies, we’re giving 35,000 Australians the chance to find out exactly what tens of millions of people around the world are already experiencing for themselves.”

“High definition TV sales are going to sky-rocket in July,” said Carl Rose, Managing Director of Sony Australia. “Whether it’s getting ready to see our heroes go for gold in Beijing, watching AFL’s finest as the 2008 season hots up or experiencing major blockbuster movies and games on Blu-ray, there is a wealth of exhilarating Full HD content waiting for you.”

Rose continued, “There’s never been a better time for Australians to immerse themselves in the Full HD experience. To celebrate this, we’ve created this exclusive Sony package across our full HD BRAVIA LCD TV range – including five new models. This is an opportunity not to be missed, but remember…the countdown is on.”
