Yep, $249.99 from Sony. Get it in time for MAG! If you don't want to sign up for their credit card, you can get it for $349.99 at Amazon. Sign up for the card, use it, pay it off, close it. As long as you don't do it all the time, this won't hurt your credit.

Now for the "bad" news: You're not actually getting $150 off. Instead, you'll get a $150 credit on your card in 8-12 weeks. It's still money, of course, just not the kind you can put in your savings account. You'll have to spend it on food or gas or whatever.

The actual bad news here is that you have to pay shipping and probably sales tax, which for me added about $40 to the total (grrrr). Amazon's deal gets you out the door with no shipping or sales tax--but only one controller.

So, over to you: Which is the better deal? (Yes, you can vote "neither," but only if you back it up.) Given that the extra controller normally costs $55, I'm inclined to choose SonyStyle.

Either way, remember that you're also getting a top-tier Blu-ray player.
