The battle for market share in the LCD TV market is taking its toll with both Sony and Samsung now being slammed for not delivering the value add offers promised by retailers.
Thousands of the 28,000 consumers who purchased a Sony Bravia LCD TV on the basic that they would get a new Blu ray Sony PS3 gaming console are still waiting for their PS3 four months out from when the promotion was run. Meanwhile Samsung customers are still waiting for a small LCD screen promised with their large screen purchase.
Between December and January 2008 Sony grabbed a 40% share of the LCD TV market for their Bravia offering by bundling a Sony PS3 Blu ray gaming console. They promised that the screen would be delivered within 28 days.
