Topic: SAMSUNG/SONY March LCD GROUP BUY!!

[agwe]

my guess would be ambassador coz they could react faster since one of the owners is usually in the store (whereas other stores you'd have to talk to sales people or surpers).

congrats guys.

now im in a dilemma. ..  if i should get the sonoma 32" or the bordeaux 32?

to those who bought . .why'd u pick one over the other?

Samsung 32N71.. 79999 srp less >20%? = 60k, nice price.

[squatt3r]

i'm eyeing the 32" sonoma. anyone interested for another group buy? 

[mario128]

Ako rin kaso baka piliin ko 1 year to pay na installment.

i suggest that you set up another thread for your group buy just like this one. clone mo lang yung 1st post. yun yung importante e kasi ia-update mo yun every time, just like what allen did.

you potentially have maulller, agwe, mario, etc. for it.


mario,
i'll be receiving my 32N71 today. i'll ask the manager what the terms are for card. IMO, an additional P5K to the discounted Cash price would be a great deal considering you'll be paying it at 0% for 12mos. but wouldn't that be at the discretion of the Credit Card company instead of the store? better speak to them.

post kayo ng pictures ng bago nyong lcd tvs!

Just got back home...I 'm glad things turned out ok. Of course, the only thing I didn't like is that I wasn't able to get that HTIB.

Ok, so now that I have an LCD...er will be receiving one, can you guys recommend what HTIB I should get? The guys at Saver's suggested this Pioneer one similar to the Samsung that was demoed(sp?) for 14.5k. They said they could deliver it tomorrow. What do you guys think?

If you're particular about sound and video, I would suggest that you invest in a full home theater rather than settling for an htib.  A Wharfedale set-up would set you back about 30+k with a/v receiver and dvd player.  It would definitely give you better sound and you would be able to use the hdmi input of your new n71. 

[staind01]

for the guys that sent me PMs, pls see below.

  a little over 20% lang naman due to the no. of sets bought. we can't divulge just yet. we need the stores approval e. yun kasi naging usapan with the manager. we hope you guys would understand.

get your self a book-shelf wharfedale setup, as i suggested last time.

at 14.5k, thats enough to get a complete 5.1 bookshelf setup, just need to spend extra on reciever.

main,reason why you wont want htib setup is most low end models wont allow incoming digital inputs.. ex you cant connect a ps3/xobx/pc to it and use its speakers.

Was browsing around Ever Commonwealth last Friday night...dropped by both Abenson's & Western..the Samsung 32" Sonoma was retailing at 59,990 na lang (cash or card).  Since you guys were able to purchase your TV's last Sunday, does this mean your base price was 59.9k?  So, assuming na 20% na lang yung discount, the Sonoma could be bought at P48k na lang?

If so, then that's a darn good deal!  Hintay hintay pa ko, by December mas mababa pa siguro.  Sabay na rin siguro yung pagbili ko ng either Blu-Ray or HD DVD.  

[allenwfc]

congrats to everyone who made their purchase today! hope to hear your reviews 

on a side-note, im very dis-satisfied with the prices that avant quoted me, plus their sales ppl, have the dis-respectfulness to xerox/fax material i had with no express permission!!!

i hope, you can inform that sales manager in avant about such distasteful practices, probably in a different day or country, they could have been sued for it.

well actualyl we bought it a savers digital hub in north edsa

ambassador had no stock, and the general manager was out of town daw.

we bought the neo-mosel 32n71, base price we worked with was 80k

Just talked to Raymund of Saver's.  Was informed that they couldnt give us the HTIB for 5k for the price we bought but if was slightly higher, pwede sana.  So thos of us who are still interested can get the HTIB for around 8k.  Just call Raymond to verify.

wow congrats!   

btw, may freebies pa rin ba kasama (29" TV and HT)?
kung meron, super duper congrats na yan! 

[allenwfc]

latest samsung promo doesnt have freebies for their promo. instead it now has 5k discount on cash purchase

[dips15]

Wala nang freebies ang Samsung this March for 32 inch models, thats for any store at any price.

BTW, for those who will have their units delivered today, painform naman kami about the quality ng tuner niya.  Doon ako natatakot ngayon eh.

wow, sorry to hear that allen, do you remember who you talked to in particular, specially yung nag photocopy ng materials mo? sayang naman, they did a good job last time with my case.

[allenwfc]

randy and some other guy.. probably his supervisor or something,

[dB10]

ok il call her and relay your experience, did he even bother to match the prices you gave? they're reputation for initial high price is true, but they always match naman their competitors price, yung attitude lang ng male staffers are different from the ladies there (except for mike of toshiba and the guy from philips), si Mugz at Nora and the new manager thelma were consistently ok.

anyway, i could only feel sorry for their loss, but happy at the same time for you guys good bargain which is the most important thing!!!

well, his samsung prices were fair.. 69k for the neo-mosel, but his sony 32v200 was horrid.. 112k.. he didnt even take into a ccount that cash basis for sony is already an automatic 10k off (srp is 119k). i showed him the 75k for sony i got quoted. he said the sony is grey market so they cant match it (it wasnt grey market).

unfortunately, i got the male staffers

thanks for the help anyways

What? Are they still promising delivery today?

[staind01]

What? Are they still promising delivery today?

they promised that yesterday but with the way things are going, looks bleak. 

the optimist in me's still hoping for the best though. fingers crossed.

[staind01]

oh, and did i mention that the wait's killing me?!!

have my LCD Dead Pixel test (using the Color Fields) all ready and can't wait to calibrate the darn thing. both via Avia.

[ryuzaki_L]

@staind01, allenwfc, and dips15
Thanks for the tips, I'll consider them.

I do hope my TV actually arrives today too, although I kinda expected this might happen...
and uh where do I get Avia?

[squatt3r]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys

still no call from them. been calling them the whole day today. will call again at 5:20PM.

Avia is a Home Theater Calibration DVD. you'd have to buy one.

[jipi]

guys,

do you still think that getting the HTIB for additional 8t  worth it?
