Sony offering free PlayStation 3 to students with new VAIO laptop purchase

Teaser
Eligible student and faculty have the opportunity to get a free 160GB PlayStation 3 with the purchase of a new Sony VAIO laptop.

If you're a student who's looking for a new laptop, Sony has you covered. What's better is that, if you purchase one of their eligible VAIO laptops, you can get a free 160GB PlayStation 3, which retails for $250. This promotion comes courtesy of CouponBuzz.com.

According to Justin Bowen, CEO of CouponBuzz.com, “throwing in a free PlayStation 3 with the purchase of a VAIO laptop is incredibly intelligent marketing by Sony, particularly at this time of year. They have grabbed the attention of college-bound students in the market for a new laptop, and the offer a free PlayStation could seal the deal for any fence-sitters still deciding which brand to purchase.”

Many of Sony's latest computers are eligible, even including their 24-inch L series all-in-one PCs. All eligible computers feature the latest third-generation Intel Core-series of processors. On a light budget? The cheapest laptop is the 15.5-inch S, which starts at $969.99. Money not a problem? Sony's 13.1-inch Z is the most expensive machine, and is packed to the brim with a Core i7-3612QM CPU, 8GB DDR3 1600 RAM (2x4GB DIMMs, soldered to the motherboard), a 1920x1080 display (quite high for a 13" notebook), Intel's HD 4000 GPU, and Bluetooth 4.0. The best part? Dual 256GB SSDs.
