Anyone on the PlayStation 3 craze here? IBM Cell Processor, 256Mb GDDR3 RAM, 60Gb SATA drive, USB, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wifi, and more hard core hardware specs? Well, I don’t. I don’t really have time to play computer games and buying a PlayStation 3 would be the last thing in my mind. However I am just going to use PS3 as an example on how to save $$ on buying Sony products.

PlayStation 3 60Gb Australian version has an RRP of $999. There are shops that sell them a little bit cheaper, but I am going to show you how to get PS3 for $869.95 delivered.

Step 1 — NRMA Exclusive Members Offer

If you are a NRMA member, you will get some “exclusive” deals through their “Show You Card and Save” promotions. Many of these deals require you to show your card at the retail store during check out. Many have special landing page that require you to put in your NRMA membership detail before they show you the deals. However, there are some that simply have a simple landing page without authentication, so anyone who comes across these pages can see the special discount.

As I have just posted on OzBargain, Sony Style is one such online store. Go to the following page, NRMA Exclusive Member Offers, and you will see the special discounts.

Basically you get 3% off on Viao and PlayStation products, and 10% off for the rest. You also need to remember click on the link “To beging shopping, click here“, as that link contains session ID that enables special discount on products.

Step 2 — Buy That PlayStation 3 & Check Out!

This part is easy. Find PlayStation 3 from the list of products, buy it and head down to checkout! When you get onto that page, you will notice that the price has been adjusted with an Exclusive Online Offer that is exactly $30 cheaper than the RRP, bringing the price down to $969.95.

Click on that shopping cart logo to add your brand new PlayStation 3 onto your shopping cart. Click on check out and have your credit card ready!

Step 3 — Use $100 off Coupon

The last step requires a coupon posted by Jaxx on OzBargain last month, which gives you $100 off when you spend $300 or more at Sony Style. Use this coupon code when you checkout:

SSAUSPS54090

And you shall see the double discount reflected on the check out page:

It shows $869.95 as the final price. When you step through the checkout process, your NRMA membership detail is never required — so this trick can be fully exploited by those who are not even NRMA members!

Of course the 3% and 10% discount not only apply to PlayStation game console, but also other products sold on Sony Style. Like PlayStation Portable for $220.05, or Sony CyberShot DSCW35S for $259.10.

Update: Thanks to Ben, who notified me about the cashback offers for Sony Cybershot cameras — you’ll get between $25 to $50 cashback on selected models. That means even more savings :)
