I snagged a Sony PS3 Surround Sound System from Best Buy for $107 today, YMMV. This is the PS3 specific sound bar thing Sony came out with a few months back.

I can't find any mention of the thing on the web site and the UPC code and product codes don't show up when searched. I'm guessing that it's going away and they're just unloading whatever they have left in the stores. Don't bother calling to ask... you'll get transferred to the audio department and no amount of description will get someone with a clue who knows what this is. I almost paid $179 for it several times, glad I passed on it and got lucky this time. One of my local stores had three of them, one has never had it. Good luck!

Apologies if this should be elsewhere, I couldn't figure a better forum to put it in, as the Sony forum seems to be mostly about games, not deals.

This may be YMMV. My store was clearancing this out as well but it was something odd like $119

pics or it didn't happen

Definitely going to try and pick this up tomorrow. Hopefully my local Best Buy is participating.

I'll check out my local BB as well. I know it's not the best sound system but for less than $120 I'd like to have one. Thanks for the heads up.

always with the pics.

No subwoofer = not worth it.

If the OP could please kindly post the SKU(six SEVEN digit number) from their receipt, then someone could likely make up a stock locator for it so people can search for it.

EDIT: I found the SKU on THIS page.

SKU: 1280916

EDIT 2: Stock locator link: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olstempl...itemId=1519153

bummer, nothing in my immediate area...

This looks very interesting... Hmmm... I have plenty of BB credit (thank you GS B2G1 and Fallout:NV)...

Don't count on the store locator working. I know there are two at my store, but they aren't showing up on the locator.

I think I'll pass on this. I have my own version of surround sound, 2.1 speakers in front of me and computer speakers behind me through my PS3's dual audio output.

sound bar does not equal surround sound system.....sorry

Is the price YMMV? Don't know if I should drive across town for a chance at it

It is. All clearances at BB are YMMV and based on the specific store.

apparently there's a tiny 30W sub in the sound bar, and it has 2 other 10 W speakers built in. Most tv's have 2 10W speakers already built in, so this sound bar just clears up clarity in some cases and sound. I've been researching it for this PS3 sound bar for a while, and have found mix results. Some say sound quality is good or great and crisper than their tv speakers, but the Max Volume on this sound bar is pretty tame, so don't expect to crank it up at all.

OP have you used it yet, what's your take on it?
I found 3x at a best buy outside of tucson for $130 still.

I called my local BB and its $129. Think I will hold out for another week and see if it drops again

If a store has less than THREE of an item it'll show up as out of stock/unavailable. That's how BB's system works.

See above. So you may be better off just going in store to look for it, as it may be in stock but they may have less than 3 available.

And no subwoofer = fail (and no I don't count the "sub" in the soundbar as a real one).

I don't see what's so special about this thing.
