Sony Copies Microsoft, Offers Free PlayStation for Students

[Ink]

Recently we reported that Microsoft was offering a free 4 GB Xbox 360 to students who purchase a qualifying Windows 7-based desktop or laptop.
...
Now Sony is offering a similar deal for students with its own set of perks and limitations. The perk consists of four free options rather than just one: a 160 GB PlayStation 3, a Wi-Fi only PlayStaton Vita, $200 off the customer's choice of PlayStation gear, or 8-percent total savings on select VAIO PCs. The latter option is ideal if the student only needs a PC.

The limitation is that Sony's offer is restricted to twenty-two VAIO desktops and laptops.

Don't forget that:

Bonus over MS is that you'll have 4 options instead of 1.

I have a VAIO laptop from 2008 and it's chugging along very well, superb build quality.

Time is over, if it was announced a few weeks earlier I would have managed to get 99% in my exam.

I have a VAIO laptop from 2008 and it's chugging along very well, superb build quality.

I had a Vaio desktop back in the Windows 95 days. Never had an issue with it. It was a very well built machine.

When I could no longer upgrade it, I gave it to my brother for his kids to play games on. You can probably imagine that any computer young kids are allowed to use will take a beating.

The computer lived through the kids, and was finally retired when even the kids games exceeded its specs. It had a Pentium MMX 166MHz processor, and I believe a maximum of 256MB of RAM, and was quite the hotrod in its day.

Vaio laptops are really awesome, in almost everything. But my friend said to me its spare parts are very expensive, I am not really sure of that.

I think that this is a great idea. Gives people to catch up with the latest PlayStation.
