Panasonic TH42PZ80B £825 inc 5 year warranty

Empire direct via quidco.
TH42PZ80B - the FULL hd plasma (1080p) for £825 - collected from Empire direct. Go via Quidco, enter code - em4646 and name EDSAVE for your discount. Included in this price is the £30 required for the Empire Direct card thing that gives a 5 year warranty. Coulldn't find it anywhere near this price with a 5 year warranty. Digital Direct do it for £775 but no warranty plus £70 to deliver.

I've ordered it as it seems to get lots of +ive's. The very best is the Pioneer Kuro - but since that is about £500 dearer - it was no contest for me!

    EMPIRE DIRECT keeps telling me

    "Sorry, this voucher code is invalid."

    did you try it yourself?

    I bought my TH42PX80B from John Lewis, 655 inc 5 yr guarantee:)

    please note - i'm on about the TH42PZ80 not the PX - one is 1080p - the other not. Did try it myself - collecting the screen on Wednesday from sunny Bolton. I got £90 off.

    Hi Angela _stone

    just print this 2 pages (link below) and present it to JL sales when you buy it, you can just pay their inhouse price of 899, and fill a price match form.

    Their undersales team will send someone to physicly check the price(which is on the second link below, at their registered office, they have a retail outlet there)

    I bought it on a Thursday evening, around noon time the next day, a lady called me and told me that they have done the price check, and will refund it to my credit card, that is quick, huh?

    tightus_ward,

    I agree with you that yours is FULL HD version, mine is not. But firstly I think John Lewis guarantee is better, within 5 years, it is much more likely that JL will be around, and I think they provide better service than empire direct, just a thought. Secondly, within the next 5 years, how many FULL HD movies will be out there? My living room is 4.3 metres wide, personally I do not think I can tell much difference now. By the time I can tell the difference, new models will be around, possible cheaper. and I might get a bigger screen:)

    But Sound & Vision are listed on Panasonic's website as one of the retailers who are giving a free 5 year warranty if bought instore. Just tell JL it's still a hell of a lot cheaper to drive to Bolton and pick it up.

    that is true.

    Panasonic is giving away free 5 yr warranty till end of July(or June?)

    be quick.

    p.s. I do not think Richer Sounds is one of the listed retailers that enjoy this free give-away, but some people say RS staff said they are, oh well.
