Remember when Sony gave away a PS3 with every Bravia purchased? You should, they did it twice. Well Panasonic has taken a leaf from Sony’s book to try and entice you to buy one of their Full HD plasmas this holiday season by offering a free Nintendo Wii via redemption when you pick up one of their Full HD plasmas.
I’m not quite sure this promotion will have the same effect as the Sony one – the PS3 makes the most of your HD panel, while the Wii’s 480p maximum resolution looks pretty average on a large screen. But then again, the Wii is still selling like hotcakes, even though there aren’t any really enticing games, so this could be a masterstroke from Panny.
The promotion kicks off tomorrow (November 29) and ends Christmas Eve, and is valid on Panny’s Full HD plasmas, a full list of which is available below.

Good to see it’s not just the new models, but some of last year’s range as well.

Nice ad, but this promo is just a variation of their “swim-to-win” promo earlier this year – a lucky dip where you buy one of their HD TVs, and receive a digital camera, video camera, portable DVD player, or Blu-ray player. I “won” the portable DVD and immediately sold it on ebay. They’re all doing these promo or cashback things, and yes, they are enticing.

Ok so you get a nice shiny new HiDef Plasma and to show off this beautiful new device you get a low specced pixelated games console to show it off. Wow now there’s a great bundle offer.

Better than nothing! Pretty good deal, but I guess a PS3 or an XBox 360 wouldn’t have gone a miss instead :p
