Sony Giving Away 10000 Free PS3s in Australia

SYDNEY, NSW: Sony Australia has this morning announced an extension of its twice-successful free-PS3 promotion, with the company releasing a further 10,000 free PlayStation 3s with the purchase of selected Bravia LCD TVs.

Since first launching this promotion in July 2008, Sony has reported strong sales of its Bravia models, and a strong connection with consumers looking to acquire a TV and a home entertainment solution at the same time.

As part of this promotion, which runs concurrently with Sony’s 3-year warranty offer, Sony deputy general manager of consumer products marketing, Toby Barbour, is promising consumers they will receive their PS3 before Christmas, as long as the purchase is validated before 1 December 2009.

“It can be hard to choose the perfect gift at Christmas time, particularly something that the whole family will enjoy. While high definition TVs are a significant purchase at any time of year, they are expected to be the Christmas present of choice for many households this year; with a combination of appealing prices, latest technologies, as well as fantastic bonus offers all available. People are looking for value for money, quality purchases in light of a year of tough financial circumstances,” Barbour said.

Sony is also giving away Blu-ray movies and games at the moment. Interest parties are directed to follow Sony on Twitter or sign up to Sony Australia’s Facebook page.

Kmart offering free PS3 copies of Assassin’s Creed II on Black Friday

Following news of Kmart’s Black Friday leaks that we told you about earlier, we have picked up on a deal that you might not be aware of. The retailer will be offering free PS3 copies of Assassin’s Creed II for customers who purchase an Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines PSP Pack.

Well ok, the PSP Pack may set you back $199.99 and its no PSP Go either, but we don’t see any of the other retailers offering any sort of similar deal.

If you don’t mind an ‘old’ PSP-3000 console, then this could turn out to be a very popular deal for some, as it’s still a free PS3 copy of ACII at the end of the day.

If you are interested in this deal, it will be available over Black Friday weekend ( November 27th and 28th), starting from 4am - Noon.

You can see the Kmart leak with this info here. Let us know if you plan on buying this.

Smash an Egg and Get a Free PS3 Slim

Sony set up a bit of an ‘egg-hunt’ in Dublin, Ireland recently in order to promote their new PS3 Slim high def game console.

As a social marketing campaign, giant eggs holding PS3 Slims were placed around the city. Those that actually had enough nerve to crack the eggs got to take home one of the new consoles. Sure beats chocolate!

Nice idea. Who would have thought that you would ever get rewarded for the destruction of someone else’s property?

After getting wind of this, gamers [world-wide] will certainly think twice about passing by any newly constructed statues, or random objects standing in the centre of town.

Free PS3 with a Bravia Lcd Tv Promotion Giveaway!

Sony is ready to relaunch the free PS3 with a BRAVIA LCD TV promotion again. Giving away 25,000 PlayStation 3’s with select BRAVIA’s. When Sony says it is doing a relaunch, it means a relaunch with video footage of a PS3 being hurled into an innocent LCD TV at 22 metres per second.

It was pretty much successful last year, and with the new impetus of the new PS3 Slim Sony is ready to make new TV purchasers happy by adding a 120GB PlayStation 3 to their Christmas stocking.

Beginning at 12:01 am on Thursday 22nd October the 25,000 PS3 Slim countdown begins.

“Entering the Christmas period after a year of financial pressure, now more than ever consumers are looking for quality purchases that deliver value for money. With a BRAVIA LCD TV, not only are you buying unparalleled manufacturing quality, but you also now have the confidence of knowing your investment is supported by our extended three year warranty promotion. Our BRAVIA LCD TV, PS3 and extended warranty combination is undoubtedly the best offer we have ever had in the market,” said Toby Barbour, Deputy General Manager of Consumer Products Marketing at Sony Australia.

PS3 Slim with 250GB Drive Coming in November for $350

Only $50 more to double PS3 Slim's capacity

Sony recently introduced the PlayStation 3 Slim in September. Available in a single 120GB model, it sold very well due to a new $299 price. The company states that it sold over 1 million PS3 units worldwide in the three weeks following the PS3 Slim launch.

The price cut was made possible by shrinking several components, most notably a 45nm version of the Cell processor. Overall, the PS3 Slim is 32 percent smaller than the original PS3 and consumes 34% less power. The console still loses money for Sony, but the platform as a whole is profitable as game licenses are sold to developers.

Seeking to capitalize on that success in time for the Christmas shopping season, Sony has announced a new PS3 Slim model on the official PlayStation blog. Consumers will be able to purchase a PlayStation 3 Slim with a 250GB hard drive starting November 3. The new model will sport the same internal components as the 120GB model, but will sell for $350.

PS3 Slim outsells Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii down under

Sony Australia reveals PS3 Slim console has sold "in excess of 60,000" units in the month and a half since launch, beating both the Xbox 360 and Wii for that time period.

Following the news last month that Sony sold 40,000 PlayStation 3 Slim units in the console’s first two and a half weeks in the Australian market, it appears the publisher has something to smile about yet again.

The latest sales figures from Sony indicate the AU$499 PS3 Slim has now sold “in excess of 60,000 units” in Australia, outselling both the Xbox 360 and the Wii since its Australian launch on September 3.

“I can confirm that in excess of 60,000 units of the PS3 120GB have been sold since launch,” a Sony spokesperson said. “I can also confirm that since the launch of the new model on September 3 [in Australia], total sales for the period since introduction have outperformed our competition.”

Sony also reported that despite low PSP Go sales of just over 1,000 units during launch week, the new console uplifted sales for the PSP platform as a whole in Australia.

“The PSP Go launch week resulted in a solid first week volume uplift of 100 percent for the PSP platform as a whole in Australia; this also includes PSP-3000 sales and PSP software sales. Strong IP lined up for the PSP platform has assisted this.”

PS3 Firmware 3.0 to Be the Last Major Firmware Update of 2009

Sony will release the PS3 Firmware 3.0 update on September 1st for the PlayStation 3 console.

Firmware 3.0 completely revamps the information board, introduces premium avatars and animated themes and a variety of other tweaks.

While Firmware 3.0 is the last major update the PlayStation 3 will see during 2009, G4TV (linked above) recently asked Sony if this was the last update period for the calendar year.

To quote: “This is a big and significant update, so you would be correct to assume that [it's the last major update for 2009],” said PlayStation Network operations director Eric Lempel to G4TV.

He did, however, note that the release of a few smaller updates throughout the remainder of 2009 is still a possibility.
