Obviously I want the best deal that I can get, but I feel guilty gaining the information from the shop and then placing my order with Argos or similar.</P><P></P><P>There also seems to be many model numbers for what are possibly the same sets. Is there a master productreference list?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Jul 2011 12:41:10 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/general-chat/why-are-sony-shop-prices-higher-than-most-other-retailers/m-p/234399#M1700 Bill_Badger 2011-07-20T12:41:10Z Why are Sony Shop prices higher than most other retailers? https://community.sony.no/t5/general-chat/why-are-sony-shop-prices-higher-than-most-other-retailers/m-p/234400#M1701 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Very simple because they are a squad of money grabbing crooks. And don't hold your breath if something goes wrong with your Sony product because they will con you at that point as well.
