That’s a great price!  Congrats agian!

[quote author=“Rahul”]How exactly does the price match system work ?...you buy some product from some store and if u find it at a lower price at some other store within a certain no. of days u call up the store from where u originally bought the stuff and after explaining to them they credit u the difference on the card that was used for making the purchase ?

or am i completely wrong ?

Well at Circuit City in particular, if you buy and item you have 14 days in which you can get a price match from another store. This means that if CC has it for $2199 and Frys has it in stock of $2099, the CC will meet and beat Fry’s by 10$ so you’d pay $2089, which is $110 off.

I got my discount the day I bought my laptop becuase I mentioned Fry’s lower prices to the sales rep and she was able to call Fry’s to verify. IF you do it after you make your purchase then I believe you have to bring the receipt in.

TR2AP $2100 at cost from CDW.com when the TR3 came out
Got it through work.

Was the rebate from Circuit City or Sony?

The $150 rebate was from Circuit City, its applies to all Centrino Laptops.

[quote author=“avalanche165”]When i was researching the TR, I couldnt really find a thread anywhere to see how much people actually paid.  Just for reference sakes, how much did you pay for your machine, no accessories, and when did you buy it?

I payed $1976 for my TR3A about a week ago.m

HORRIBLE sales rep, but good post sales customer service.

TR3AP1 w/extra “high-capacity” battery for around US$2400.00
