Is this my lucky week or what? Just recently, Friday (technically, Thursday) I had won a gift voucher from Sony in an almost million prize give-away. And now, only two days later, I receive another coupon valued at $25 dollars.
But, there is a catch to this too. As always. As it states on the image below, it’s a $25 “off” coupon if I spend $100 or more. And of course, that’s before taxes. Sigh. On the plus side, the deadline until this expires is sometime in January, so that gives me some amount of time to wait for a new product or two or a price cut for me to spend $100 dollars worth of item(s). According to the fine print (which also applied for the gift voucher), only accessories or games are allowed. No hardware. That means, no PSP Go, no PS3, no Digital Camera, no MP3 player… The list is getting very limited. I might purchase a few games (or the 8/16/32 Gig MS Pro Duo), though I have already pre-ordered Tekken 6 and LittleBigPlanet, and in the end it has to accumulate to a minimum total of $100.
So, my views on this? I am very happy Sony is giving away free vouchers as I normally don’t get cool things like this often or at all. It makes me save money on products I don’t want to buy for so much, but on the downside, I have to spend money on things I don’t necessarily need. But, I hope, maybe in the near future Sony holds actual free give-aways like at events in Japan, than to get us to spend for it. (The coupon shown below is only a sample, hence the expired date).
