Its a stock issue, DSG group were not happy at supply and prices so have pulled plug on Sony for the time being, all stock is being sold off so haggle on prices as there won'nt be many left in stock.
Rizel23 said:I know the bad reputation that Currys carries nationwide, but our store is actually very good for knowlegde on the TV department, with some excellent managers. Ideal if you want to work part time whilst you study,...like me.

Doesn't everyone on here slag of the highstreet and buy all there goods online (ok maybe not all)........
Doesn't everyone on here slag of how much Sony items cost instore and use pricerunner/froogle to find the best deal???
Whats the big deal???
Or.......... has everyone just worked out that if everyone was as smart as us and bought online no-one would ever know what these items were like to touch apart from posts on forums like this.......que all retailers employing people to post fanboy reports to suck us all in!!!
OK rant over!!!
mhsslinky said:Are you saying you only like the "Where can i buy a ........ the cheapest online?" threads. I wouldn't buy anything as big as a TV online its just not worth the hassle if you have any problems or need any help.
onesandtwos said:I'd always look at the TV in store and then buy online... makes sense....
spice2019 said:Right that explains alot, strange that Currys and Dixons won't sell what are considered the leading electrical company/brand in the world. I guess that sums up the DSG group!
Rizel23 said:Right definate answer to this this now, i got board at work and rang headoffice
Reason why DGS group won't be stocking Sony TVs anymore is down to warranty issue, Sony only want the DGS group to push there own extended warranty not the DGS groups 'Whateverhappens' warranty, so no more Sony TVs for a while to come as warranty's is where the profit is, hope this helps peeps asking.
Also, to address issue as if electrical stores will continue, predictions are that within 2 years either Currys or comet will go, but as you would expect, the DGS group are pretty confident that it will be Comet
HHGTTG said:However, I should add that the group DSG don't encompass Comet do they?
Comet are a completely separate company with no connections with Currys or Dixons (Curry's digital etc.)
