Sony Passes On OXM Bravia Review
2:40AM Mike Fahey | Sony doesn’t want you using their line of Bravia televisions with your Xbox 360, or at least that’s the information I am gleaning from last Friday’s post over at the Official Xbox Magazine website in which Dan Amrich reveals Sony’s response to a request to review one of the televisions in an upcoming issue. Here’s where it gets weird. Murph contacted Sony’s PR to request a set for review, and was told…no. It would appear that the console wars extend further than any of us realized, but that’s the reason given — we’re a Microsoft-focused (but not -owned, I should point out) publication, and they are a PlayStation-creating company (but not the same business division, I should point out), so…just no. “I have to support our friends over at our sister company,” said the representative.

5:30PM Logan Booker | In case you missed it yesterday, Sony is giving away PS3s between today and January 28 with every purchase of a Sony Bravia HD LCD TV. You don’t even have to buy the TV from Sony – you can walk into any consumer electronics store and you’ll be provided details on how you can get your shiny new console. It’s by redemption, if you were wondering. All the details at the link below.

3:20PM Logan Booker | Alright, it’s official. Sony just sent through a press release with all the info on the Bravia/PS3 deal we were informed of earlier today.
According to the release, the offer is valid for anyone who purchases a full HD (that’s the XBR, X and W series) Bravia LCD TV between Dec 21, 2007 and Jan 28, 2008. After your purchase, you’ll be able to lodge your PS3 redemption via the www.sony.com.au/bonusPS3 URL.
It goes on to say that it doesn’t matter where you buy your LCD TV, you’ll still be eligible for a PS3.
That’s the long and short of it, but the full release can be found after the jump. More » 
Sony Giving Away Free PS3s With Bravias? [Update Redux]
1:10PM Logan Booker | According to a story up at Atomic, if you choose to buy one of Sony’s 1080p Bravia LCD TVs, it’ll throw a Playstation 3 into the deal – free.
At the moment, all the page says is “Coming soon – Bonus PLAYSTATION®3 promotion.”, but tipster Dave is confident that the promo will start tomorrow and run until January 28. So there’s plenty of time to take the company up on its offer.
We don’t have any additional details, but we’ll knock on Sony’s door and see if it’s willing to shed some light on the situation. However, I think it’ll take more than walking into your nearest electronics store and requesting the offer.
Coincidentally, the 21st is my birthday. If I only had the cash for a Bravia and didn’t already own a PS3. Oh well, I’ll just have to put up with that whole tiny text thing for a while longer.
And yes, this is an Australian deal by the looks of things. Nice to get one up over the States for once.
Update 1: Maybe you can just waltz into a store and snag the offer! Kotakuite eckymosis reports that their cousin bought a Bravia at JB Hi-Fi and was provided a special code that can be redeemed for a PS3.
Update 2: Correction, that should be “Dick Smith” not “JB Hi-Fi”. Plus, we have official info from Sony.
