    Some people here should have own political party. They have people to support them even if they are wrong.

    It's better to have wise competitors then having blind supporters.

      No it's Sony they are greedy after scored lots purchases instead of saying thanks here we give bigger discount, they increase the price albeit using the Sam promotional name., maybe just to lure and trick some noob ozbargain members

      Then I guess you should -v for Sony but not +v for TA. This is a deal from Sony anyway.

  • spiffycashew on 24/03/2016 - 12:40

    I'd argue that the reason they've upped the prices is because of sites like Ozbargain, if they know they'll sell out at a certain price, obviously they'll increase it…

    • CyberMurning on 24/03/2016 - 12:44

      Exactly. Nothing to do with TA.

      That being said, it's the double standard of Ozbargain rules which I think is why people are getting frustrated…

        There are double standard in this world. Movie stars get treated slightly differently. Older people get more respect. TA posted more deals gets the likes. It's normal. Each human different of course receive slight different treatment.
        Unless TA has a twin brother who posted exact same deals and quantity but he get better treatment then yes it is double standards

    I don't see what all the hate is about. This seems to be a great sale for Xperia's. Everything that's not a Z5 is 50-60% off and the discounts seem to be real. I picked up an M5 for $299, cheapest I recently found it is ~$450. Okay, the other stuff is crap, the same as the last sale, or expensive, but in the last sale all the phones ran out immediately or were mispriced and couldn't be bought.

    • [Deactivated] on 24/03/2016 - 13:11

      Hmmm, was looking at the M4/C4 but the M5 looks tempting

      M5 has many bad reports of restarting etc :S

      • Kothos on 24/03/2016 - 21:48

        Ah crap, really? My last two LG phones did that which is why I wanted a Sony! If this happens again I'm gonna cry.

        • [Deactivated] on 25/03/2016 - 01:22

          I hope you get a good unit but I am afraid most M5's have the issues.

    With the amount of hate, it seems like people were expecting TVs just to be handed out.
    Just because there is not a bargain for YOU, doesn't mean that others wont consider some of these items bargains.

    Everyone needs to relax…

    • Dingus on 24/03/2016 - 13:10

      It isn't a bargain if a TV is cheaper at JB. So it shouldn't be a bargain for anyone…

        Fantastic TV btw. Even better since the last firmware update added HDR and 4K @ 60HZ 4:4:4 functionality.

      • forkus on 24/03/2016 - 13:15

        So dont buy it… the deal says up to 70% off

        Since you are being so selective, what if someone was looking for a Xperia C4? They have a bargain at $199

        • Dingus on 24/03/2016 - 13:21
          +6

          Well that was hypocritical, says I am selective by saying all TV's, then you hit back with being more selective than me. The point was the deal was posted early. No bargains were listed, pulled 2 bargains (C4) and the other 2 have been cheaper. If he waited as per the rules, the only real deal are the phones not the entire sale.

        • jv on 24/03/2016 - 13:23

          Shame on TA for trying to give everyone a heads up. If he posted after the live time and stock was sold out, he would have received just as much hate again.

          Everyone should ask for a refund on their premium memberships.

          +2

          @forkus: Ded. Again hypocritical, If anyone is in a circle jerk it would be you with the "TA can do no wrong" comments. All of the hate is for the crap 'sale', not following the rules. Finally no, I really don't think anyone would have flamed him for waiting for the deal to go live, because as you can see all the hate is for the opposite…

        Maybe I've not seen TA's deal with negs being removed in the process (I've not seen one that was like that).

  • Rupture on 24/03/2016 - 13:20

    I don't understand why people are taking the negs as a personal attack and feeling the need to jump to the defense of TA. No one is saying he doesn't usually post great deals, this post should be treated like a post from any other member of the community and voted on as such. Unfortunately this deal has missed the mark, no need to get into a war about it.

  • cashless on 24/03/2016 - 13:21

    A number of people have already commented something similar to this, but I'll echo it for the benefit of anyone reading.
    Many would have been able to find bargains over here and subsequently gained value out of this post. Don't go negging it for no reason just because you couldn't find a bargain here.
    At least be grateful that TA let you know in advance that a sale was happening, so you could be prepared and check it out when it did go live.
    Everyone, take a chill pill, enjoy your last working day of the week and look forward to a long weekend with your families, rather than ranting and spewing hate over here. It just makes everyone hate each other, let's not do that.
    Find a bargain, be happy and move on. If you don't find one, that's fine, there'll be more in the future.

      It is. I picked it up for $1,448 in Oct 2015 less cashrewards rebate in this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/213782. On sale for $1,349 in January and now $999. Thanks to credit card price insurance there will be a refund coming my way. Plus cashrewards paid on the original price. Also the TV's aren't included in the damaged box items as far as I can see.

          UI can be a bit sluggish at times but this seems to be a problem with a lot of smart tv's. I'm not the best person to ask on av technicals, but I've had no issues re picture quality and 4K content I've been able to view looks sensational. The sound levels are ok, but a sound bar wouldn't go astray. Works well with Kodi and similar apps. Not sure on software version, using as downstairs tv and haven't had on for the last few weeks, probably last performed an update a months or two ago.

        • sabracad on 25/03/2016 - 01:15

          @GameChanger: The main criteria is that lower price is required to be from same store and within 6 months of purchase and a "normal" sale - so things like DSE reductions wouldn't apply. To avoid getting anything wrong, it's probably best to review the PDS - not sure if we're allowed to post things like that so I won't. As with @Sindex 28 degrees is the card I use.
