A new Costco discount book has been released with the sale starting Monday 18th Feb 2013. One item in that book is the Sony Bravia HX750 55” LED 200Hz Full HD 3D TV with built-in WiFi. Costco are taking $170 off their already low price of $1469.99 making the final price $1299.99.

A quick look around has JB Hi-Fi listing this TV at $1698, Harvey Norman at $1697 and Good Guys at $$1698. Good luck haggling those guys down to Costco's price. Also don't forget Costco essentially gives you an extended warranty with their satisfaction guarentee so long as you keep your membership continuous.

    Good price but I don't have a Costo Membership, nor do I have a vehicle to transport such a big bulky box. For others in the same situation $1398 delivered would be the next best option http://www.bigbrownbox.com.au/sony-bravia-kdl55hx750-55-inch…

    • Velocita on 18/02/2013 - 11:55

      Picked this TV up over Xmas via the http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/89075 deal for $1191 with the $300 off cashback card when spending an additional $100 on a Sony product. I managed to get JB HIFI to price match the $1390 price. Only posting to say this TV has been cheaper in the past with other deals, but I can recommend the TV to any potential buyers, looks brilliant for all usage types and putting the TV into game mode I can't detect any input lag.

  • wowoyu on 16/02/2013 - 17:05

    Anyone knows the LG model and price on sale? $200 off seems better saving. Thanks

  • SuperBoi on 16/02/2013 - 17:19

    How much is the membership? Plus how does Costco factor in the ext warranty?

    • deal88 on 16/02/2013 - 17:24
      +1

      I believe membership is $60, but you can get 100% of you membership money back anytime during the 12 months.

      Others have mentioned warranties last as long as you maintain a membership. I don't know details of this, but my thought it was part their 100% happy claim. Ie. if you are unhappy with the product they will give you a refund.

      Others can probably provide better info.

    • inlina on 16/02/2013 - 17:27

      $60 for household members or $55 for business members. All you need is an ABN for a business membership. Both come with an extra card for another member of your household to use.

      The extended warranty is actually a more so a satisfaction guarentee. Costco guarentees every product they sell will meet your expectations for its life. So long as you keep your membership continuous and up to date you can an item back that you bought. So if your TV dies before the life you expect to get out of it, you can take it back. They have changed this policy in the USA on electrical goods because of people using the system to their advantage, but it is still accepted here.

      • deal88 on 16/02/2013 - 17:31

        Cheers Inlina. Better explanation than my poor attempt.

        • inlina on 16/02/2013 - 17:50

          NP Deal88 ;)

  • SuperBoi on 16/02/2013 - 17:27

    Oh thanks for that doesn't sound too shabby at all!

    • deal88 on 16/02/2013 - 17:37

      Ivalice - when Costco first opened in Melbourne I did not use my membership as much as I hoped. Asked for my membership money back after 10 months. Absolutely no problems from Costco. I was impressed. I joined up again 12 months later, but only go about once a month so keep an eye out on Loaded Trolley facebook page and OzBargain for specials.

  • berger on 16/02/2013 - 17:40

    Costco also have the base model lg 60 inch plasma for $989.90 at the moment too. 60pa6500 I think.

  • SuperBoi on 16/02/2013 - 17:55

    Deal88 thanks again for the clarification, I think their satisfaction guarantee could work well in this instance :)

    • deal88 on 16/02/2013 - 18:01
      +2

      Invalice - if you are new to Costco, I will mention one thing. Know your prices! The specials are usually really good and worth the trip, but last time I was there I noticed Coke and Lipton Tea were slightly dearer than the specials at Coles/Woolies/IGA.

      Usually check my prices on my smartphone when in store,

      One bonus is the super cheap slices of pizza and cheap cups of coke in the Costco cafe (at Melbourne at least)

  • Tal_Shiar on 16/02/2013 - 18:25

    Does anyone know if they sell American made Oreos at Costco in Melbourne?

    • deathjr on 16/02/2013 - 18:32
      +1

      Yes.

      • elguapo on 16/02/2013 - 20:52
        +1

        They sell Oreo's but I'm not sure they are American made. I think these are just the Chinese one's just the same as Colesworth sell.

  • SuperBoi on 16/02/2013 - 18:27

    Ye ill definitely look into it, the super cheap slice of pizza is pretty tempting!

    • deal88 on 16/02/2013 - 18:36

      Unfortunately too tempting!

      • inlina on 16/02/2013 - 18:49
        +4

        I like the $2.50 hotdog and a drink…again, too tempting!

        • Tal_Shiar on 16/02/2013 - 19:17

          pizza, hot dog and drink, looks like lunch is sorted lol

      • SuperBoi on 16/02/2013 - 19:37

        I'm going to grab one slice and a can of soda when I get the TV!

        • deal88 on 16/02/2013 - 19:49
          +2

          Free refills on the cups of soft drink, can't remember the price. And 2 weeks ago I bought a can of coke from the vending machine in the cafe for 80 cents - apparently normal price. Possibly cheapest coke machine in Australia?

        • inlina on 16/02/2013 - 19:50
          +2

          I hadn't noticed that price on the cans, but the water is 50c for a 500ml. The free refill cup is $1.50 or $2.50 for a hot dog and a refill cup.

  • deathjr on 16/02/2013 - 18:32

    Bloody great price! I'm getting it on monday.

  • miumiusan on 16/02/2013 - 18:33

    Thank you for the information Inlina – found your website very helpful :)

  • deathjr on 16/02/2013 - 18:37

    Why is the LG 55" $400 dearer than the Sony one?

    3D Dual play. NVM.

    Any idea if the Sony x750 has included 3D glasses?

    • rav_stk on 16/02/2013 - 20:59

      it comes with one glass…but its a very good tv for non 3d viewing..

  • quarrymaster on 16/02/2013 - 19:05

    Based on some of the comments above, I'm worried I might never leave once I get there!

  • deathjr on 16/02/2013 - 19:42

    Quick question, any idea if the TV will fit in the backseat of a sedan? I don't think Costco do deliveries, do they? Will have to borrow a friend's ute I guess.

    • inlina on 16/02/2013 - 19:49
      +1

      The largest TV I have bought so far is a 32" and I couldn't fit that boxed, upright in the back of my wagon, but on the back seat was no trouble. A 55" might be a squeeze, especially if it is a small sedan.

      There are some people that will pick it up for you. They often advertise on the board near the foodcourt at Costco.

      • deathjr on 16/02/2013 - 20:09

        Thanks, I have fit a 50" in my car's backseat before, but that was unboxed. Boxed 55" probably won't fit.

        • Maxxjet on 16/02/2013 - 20:56

          So to give you guys a reference, I managed to put stuff a Samsung 55 LCD one into my Corolla hatchback.

        • deathjr on 16/02/2013 - 23:06

          Boxed? Hmm…then it should fit in my Camry sedan. How did you fit it, front to back or on the backseat?

    • rav_stk on 16/02/2013 - 20:58

      i have one took it from jb…i was able to fit in my car. its falcon future 96

  • SuperBoi on 16/02/2013 - 21:05

    How about fitting one in a Honda civic 8th sedan?

    • zelda707 on 17/02/2013 - 09:04

      The 55"? I bought a 46" and it only just fit inside my corolla sedan

  • quarrymaster on 16/02/2013 - 21:07

    Can you go inside to have a look without joining first?

    • berger on 16/02/2013 - 21:13
      +3

      Monday-Friday you can, sign the visitor book, browse only, if you purchase you must become member.

    • inlina on 16/02/2013 - 21:15
      +2

      Only Monday to Thursday at Docklands. Members only Friday through Sunday. You need to get a guest pass from the membership counter.

  • deathjr on 16/02/2013 - 23:08

    I'm going to docklands on monday morning. If anyone wants to get inside Costco as my guest, you're welcome.

    • MrGareth on 18/02/2013 - 01:01

      Bear in mind the EFTPOS card / credit card you pay with has to match the name on the membership card (or you must pay in cash). I saw that enforced last time I was in Costco - the lady in front of me was with her friend, and she was trying to pay for it. The lady who actually had the membership card could only pay with her own card.

      So, if anyone goes with you to pick up a TV, they'll need to pay in cash!

      • deal88 on 18/02/2013 - 11:38

        Or pay $60 to join. Buy TV. And if you don't think you will return, cancel membership and get $60 back,

        I always use my Gold Credit Card for the extended warranty (in case I cancel my Costco membership)

  • Maglia Nera on 16/02/2013 - 23:41

    Went to Auburn (Sydney) and saw about 10-12 of these on display (at the end of 1 of the aisles that have the TV's) - suggest that you need to get in quick on Monday … (unless they have more 'out the back')

  • [Deactivated] on 17/02/2013 - 08:35

    does anyone know who would price match Costco with this Sony deal???

  • deathjr on 17/02/2013 - 08:44

    No one will price match Costco, but you are welcome to try your luck. HN, DSE and JB have refused in the past, expect others to do the same.

  • chrisburnett on 17/02/2013 - 08:56

    No one matches Costco because of the membership only element. That said, once you start going it's very addictive.

  • pepsicles on 17/02/2013 - 10:04

    How does this TV compare to the ex650 they had in sale last month? Worth forking out the extra cash? Might return my ex650 and buy this one if it is.

    • eDust on 18/02/2013 - 09:58

      the EX650 doesn't come in 55". The EX630 does, so I'll mention the main difference I know of:

      • EX630 uses Motionflow XR200, the EX750 uses XR400
      • EX630 has 90 deg horizontal viewing angle. The EX750 has 178 degrees.
      • the EX750 has builtin wifi
      • the EX750 has DLNA builtin

      Anyway, this is just from my own research on features I'm interested in, and information from Sony's website.

  • tottenham_hs on 18/02/2013 - 02:12

    The 2.50 delicious hotdog and drink with unlimited refills is probably the best meal deal in the country if you already have a membership.

  • pinkscarf on 18/02/2013 - 11:36

    has anyone been to docklands yet? Do they tell you stock levels over the phone?

  • deathjr on 18/02/2013 - 13:32

    Bought from docklands. They've got heaps of stock, many people buying so be quick!

  • EssendonUser on 18/02/2013 - 13:45

    How is Sony Bravia KDL40HX750 compared to LG 42LM6410? which is better considering LG 42LM6410 is available 648 AUD outside and sony here at around 600 AUD.

  • inlina on 23/02/2013 - 07:12

    Still plenty of these 55" Sony HX750 TVs on the floor last night at Docklands. They even had a special spot for them where they can stack them higher than a single pallet load.

    • rxjb on 25/02/2013 - 11:40

      How Big is the box? Does anyone know if Costco will hold my purchase until I can arrange delivery? Thanks

    • rxjb on 27/02/2013 - 22:40

      Went to Costco Docklands today. No 55 inch left, however got a raincheck. Few 40 / 46 inchers left.

      • inlina on 28/02/2013 - 14:30

        Did they give you an outlook?

  • pinkscarf on 04/03/2013 - 00:07

    box is huge.. but it did fit in my subaru hatchback. The guys at costco are awesome.. took it to my car & got it in. But u need another person to get it inside your house & set it up .. Great TV! lOving it soo far
