David I went to the web site and and looks like you have to make the purchase on their web site? Was that to case with you? Am I reading the small print wrong?
Looks like BB and CC are going to drop the price of the 350 to $299, I was hoping to get the $100 off that player. Sony's web site still has the 350 for $399 I wonder if they are going to drop the price their too?

A little more detail on the Sony CC deal. Shamelessly stolen from Fatwallet

Hey all! This is my first, so be gentle. Sony Style is offering $150 Cash Back on the first purchase with their credit card.

They are offering the 80GB PS3(new one that doesn't support PS2 games) for $399.

So here it goes.

1. Apply the Sony Visa Card and receive a $150 card credit after your first purchase of $299 or more at SonyStyle.com Link.
2. Purchase Sony PlayStation 3 80GB for $399.99 and pay with Sony Card Link
3. Final Price: $399.99 - $150 Credit = $249.99 + Free Shipping


Pre-sale. PS3 80GB available on or about 09/01/2008.

Sony Card Benefits:
* 12 months no interest on purchases of $299 or more at SonyStyle
* Full Platinum VisaŽ benefits
* 5 Sony Rewards Points per $1 spent at SonyStyle.com, and Sony StyleŽ stores3
* Exclusive members-only deals on Sony products
* Get a $150 card credit after your first qualifying purchase of $299 or

I just applied but on the web site it said only $100 credit for me. I'm not looking at the PS3,I'm hoping to get the 350 for $199. Do you know how long it takes to get approved?

I believe the $150 happened a while ago. That deal seems to come and go. The standard seems to be $100 credit if you open up the card. The $150 MIGHT come back....but who knows.

I got my approval (and Sony card) about a week after applying.

You could also be instantly approved...

Probably depends on a quick credit check.
Really good: fast approval.
Not good: no approval.
Middle ground: checked by human in a couple days.
