Big Mistake This Evening

Big "mistake" tonight..
Popped into a Sony store, with the result that now, I really want a Sony LCD TV.

& a PS3
& a new hi-fi
Oh, and I now realise that I will need a "home theatre" i.e. surround sound system.

It's quite different - shopping online compared to going into a store. Online shopping is the new equivalent of window shopping, but going to a store where the products are well presented really turns up the I want one of those factor !

John Lewis "Free" 5 year guarantee on TV

Edit : Feb 2009 - M&S also have a free 5 year guarantee on TVs, the nice think is . . . no paperwork, just keep the paperwork that comes with it. Well worth a look.

Remember that cheapest is not always best. Tonight I have been looking at the offers on the John Lewis website. They include free delivery and more significantly a 5 year guarantee.

Not so long ago I had a really good experience with John Lewis customer service. Won't bore you with the details but it was the "no quibble" nature of how they dealt with my claim that impressed me.

Part of me thinks this 5 year guarantee is in a way forcing you to buy an extended warranty as they are a bit more pricey than the cheapest I have found (e.g. using Kelkoo) so I'm still weighing it up.
