Despite some teething problems with its previous promotion, Sony has decided to give its "free PlayStation with any 1080p Bravia" deal another whirl.
This time around the company is limiting the month-long 1 July promotion to the first 35,000 customers, and will be composed of mostly last year's models, according to TweakTown, despite new TVs coming out at the same time.
The promotion will consist of the current W series, X series and XBR, says TweakTown, with the upcoming 32- and 40-inch V4000 also included.
The folk at Sony were unable to confirm the promotion — only that news would be available tomorrow. Funnily enough, tomorrow is also the day which Sony said it would announce pricing on its new range, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the price on current models take a small dip.
During the last promotion, several CNET.com.au readers complained of late delivery of their PS3 consoles, which Sony put down to the "extremely good" response and delays in customers sending back their redemption coupons.
UPDATE: Sony have now announced the new deal. Get more info here.Is this newest promo a ploy to get rid of old stock? Will you buy a new TV as a result? Let us know your thoughts below.

Pioneer are "giving away" a DVD/HDD Recorder (DVR550 series) by redemption with any combined purchase of an LX-series KURO Plasma AND an LX receiver. I've been trying to find out the price of the incoming 9-series KUROs from retailers, but I don't think they'll be announed until after the end of the promotion (end of August).

Awesome, I've been looking to buy both a new TV and a PS3 within the not too distant future. This basically seals the deal for me.

I already have a Bravia and a PS3. But I had a friend get one through the last deal. I wish they were around when I bought my Bravia :)

I bought a Bravia under this deal at Christmas, and I STILL haven't got the PS3 - I can't imagine how long the poor bastards that fall for this bullsh*t will have to wait if orders from 6 months ago are still waiting to be filled...
