Well, thats what internet searches will tell you...http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q...US:official&percentage_served=100&sa=N&tab=wf

But if you dig a bit deeper, it is hard to find a reputable online seller with good reviews for much less than $1750. Which is about R11000...plus duty, plus vat...R13500. plus shipping.......

Local price is R13999 from Digital Experience in Fourways... I phoned them and that is the price they quoted. Contact Jacques (011) 465 1466.

thanks arf9999, I will think about it, 14 grand is quite a lot of money still, but I guess it is worthed for a good sony, given that some cr@p sansui is about 12 grand at hifi

and I hope they have the black ones, because I will not be getting the silver one no matter what!

:cool:

I just don't want to look at the overseas prices for stuff that are heavy and I can't import. Price difference is sickening! Anything between 50% and 300%+. Don't you feel bad when you have to pay such premium for old technology (the only one you get in SA), sold to you by completely incompetent sales perople! It is plain wrong!
 
Can one buy from overseas and is it not the way to go if the price is cheaper irrespective of the import duty shipping etc. and would Sony supply support for it here in SA?

I see the Sony FWD50PX2 is $2649 in the US, and about R35 999 in SA.
 
duderoo, the shipping will cost you in the region of $600-700 I think, then you add VAT and whatever other taxes are applicable, phone Sony and ask them for the support, I doubt that they will support it. If you buy more pro type of brand they usually will support products bough overseas, but for Sony I don't think so.
 
Sony will support it, as long as the model is identical to the local version. There won't be a warranty tho'...
