Just a quick heads up for people who might not get emails from sony. Got an email just now that states the following.

Xperia™ Z will be available from midnight on February 27th. And, if you are one of the first 500 people to buy an Xperia™Z we’ll give you a pair of Silver Sony MDR-1R headphones absolutely free*. An exclusive offer for you as a thank you for pre-registering your interest

How to claim your headphones
1.
Add one Xperia™ Z to your basket

2.
Go to checkout

3.
Enter FREESONYCANS into the box below the handset image and press ‘Apply’

4.
The Xperia™ Z price will drop by £1 to indicate that you are one of the first 500 to get the free MDR-1R headphones (if this doesn’t happen, we’re really sorry but you have just missed out).

5.
Proceed with your order and we will add your sharp new headphones to your delivery to enjoy with your shiny new phone

As i have already pre-ordered mine I thought id post this here sorry to people :)

EDIT:

This is the link to the store that was provided in the email.

http://shop.sonymobile.com/gb/buy/x...&utm_campaign=yuga_convert2013&utm_content=gb

On another note from the talk in this thread the email also included the the following.

*MDR-1R offer available while stocks last. Limited to the first 500 to purchase Xperia™ Z on the eShop. Consumer must have 1x Xperia™ Z and enter the voucher code at checkout to be eligible. Offer valid until the 24th of March 2013. If you wish to return the product for refund, both Xperia™ Z and MDR-1R have to be returned.

Ordered 30mins ago, so the code still works. The price for the phone dropped by £1. However, there is no information about the headphones in the email I got.

Hopefully I'll get the headphones.

I only hope the viewing angle is not too bad. Otherwise going to return it.

whats the deal with the headphones.
My friend has ordered it from sony with free headphones.
As soon as he recieves it, he is going to send phone back as he doesn't want it, but keep the headphones.
In fact he has already listed the headphones for sale on ebay!

Will he be able to get away with this?

It is extremely unlikely. Sorry would just refund him the money minus the cost of the headphones.

So your friend will lose out since you can buy the headphones from amazon for £180, and Sony charges £300 on their website.

At the end, your friend will loose £120 to £200 if he do not return the headphones with the phone.

should have said, he's also thought of this and is just going to claim he never recieved the headphones.
And then if Sony dispute this, he is apparently going to kick up an almighty stink about it and keep it going until they relent.
Unfortuantely I've seen him do this with many other things in the past, and 9 times out of 10, they eventually let it go just to shut him up.

he manages to score so much free stuff this way (which inevitably ends up on ebay).

Are you stupid? Of course you can't keep the headphones and return the phone.

And don't blame it on a "friend" it was you who is planning to do this.
