So, Saturday 21 October 2006, I went to the Sony Centre in Harrow looking for a 32 inch or 40 inch LCD HD TV. The shop listed the Sony KDL-40X2000 LCD television for £2,999. Yes, that’s a lot of money and I said so in the shop. The shop assistant then stated that if I bought the TV immediately I could have it for a bargain price of £2,650. Well, I wasn’t convinced and instead bought a different TV.
Got home and went to http://www.sony.co.uk/ and navigated to the KDL-40X2000 web page. Here’s a screen grab and make a note of the price: £2,499 (that includes VAT):
I would not go so far as to call the people in that Sony Centre a bunch of scammers, but I’m sure that I wasn’t even close to getting a good deal from them!
