"Just five minutes into the spree, he had spent $6,363.45 on a 46-inch flat screen TV."

Meh, it was free money, he got what he wanted.

Well, it's his money. But if I were him, I would buy something that retain value for longer time like gold that I can cash them later.

[st7860]

yes, maybe a place at metrotown would sell gold.

but $6300 on such a small tv?

i mean ... even if i was lazy and wanted to spend money. but, $6300 should easily be able to buy a 55 inch high class brand of plasma ..or about $4500 for a 46 inch sony BRAVIA lcd.

Maybe that price included the stand and a nice home theatre setup?

[st7860]

whoops. i never thought about that, yes, i've seen stands cost over $300.

[Sashimi23]

he coulda also gotten an extended warranty...and quoted the after-tax price...taxes alone would be at least $500.

The Sony Store is famous for MSRP pricing and he probably got loaded down with EP, matching stand, mounting, etc.

[Vinc3nt_Steele]

He's also getting free in home delivery and set-up. I was in the store when he bought it.

[importpsycho]

damn, i entered this draw too

[st7860]

he should have bought the tv from the metrotown futureshop instead of the sony store.

[Spidey]

sweet. Free money is good. nice to see he bought some neccessities too (windows)

When i won my $5000 spree from Futureshop, I had time to research and shop around in there.

wat a homo

The Sony store is actually a good place to haggle at. I've never paid MSRP for anything I bought there.

It'd be pretty simple to spend $6300 on that TV

46" XBR3 ($4800) + extended warranty + stand + taxes + HDMI Monster Cables would easily top $6300

That's it......wow...he could have done more damage.
