Was waiting for the pre order item and here it is; MDR-100ABN

It was already a fair price for what you get without the headset, but now I'm sold and pre ordered mine. Often the xperia's get an expensive pre order item but when the promotion is over they barely drop in price at all, so either pre order or wait up to 6 months before you are in the sweetspot again price wise.

What do you think of this promotion?

Sounds like even a better deal. What company did you preorder with or did you go through Sony directly?

I went for the best service webshop in my country, because pre order prices are all the same while usually you pay a premium for their service so not a hard choice.

I have reached out to Unlocked-Mobiles to see if they are doing this promotion, will let you know when I receive a reply. I think Clove will be doing it from reading between the lines on another query they answered for me.

1&1 in Germany (and another company, think it was called OS?) have opened up preorders and say that all orders up to 31st May will get the headphones for free. They are giving a phone delivery date of June.

1&1, Vodafone, O2 - basically 3 of the 4 big Telecommunications companies in Germany offer this preorder deal. Also some shops and Sony Germany aswell.

In Poland the offer is limited by the number of sets.

Edit
After 2 days promotion is closed. Only in GSM networks like Orange is still active.

Sony UK preorders have opened and they are throwing in the MDR-NC750 earphones as a promotional item.
Bit gutted by this, as the Bluetooth headset the Germans are getting are worth over 3 times as much - if you're going to over a promotion to various countries then you should really make it the same product, or you're just going to invite complaints!

Damn, feelsbadman.

I'm ordering mine in two days, when the pricecut kicks in for a certain carrier and I'll be able to get 10gigs/month for two years long for a total of 100 euro's, including the mdr-100abn with my phone.

I never thought I'd ever buy a subscription, but it's simply cheaper when I do the math...

749 xzp & 8 euro a month for 500mb pre-paid.
Or
409 xzs & 17 euro a month 10gb subscription. (2year)

Wonder where to spend all those gigabytes on, I could get half of them full maybe but all 10? :eek:
But who knows what the future brings.

Does anyone know if Sony Germany ships to the UK.

Im thinking of pre-ordering from Germany just to get the headphones.
According to the terms and conditions the headphones are only for the residents of Germany, so even if you do get the phone shipped over, you won't be able to claim for the headphones (you have to send your receipt and claim separately, they won't come at the same time as the phone).

Count me out for the xz premium then, such a shame Sony! Now I shall wait until September/October.

In Ireland carriers are giving a set of MDR 10RC headphones with pre order. No idea what kind of quality or tier they are. Ordered mine today.
