First 400 Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact pre-orders get a free PlayStation 4

Sony yesterday announced that the first 400 customers to pre-order an Xperia Z3 or Xperia Z3 Compact will receive a free PlayStation 4.

The offer is available for customers who purchase either phone outright through Sony's online store or retail outlets, or a plan through Optus, Telstra and Virgin. The pre-order offer is only applicable for Xperia Z3 on Virgin. 100 consoles are being offered per promotional partner. While Optus and Virgin are giving the consoles away on a first-come, first-serve basis, orders made through the Telstra and Sony store are put into a lucky draw. 

Pre-orders via Optus and Sony's online store begin today. Virgin will begin their pre-orders on October 3, and Telstra will begin taking pre-orders on October 7.

The Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact have outright purchase prices of AUD$849 and AUD$699 respectively. 

Sony are yet to officially confirm the local release date for Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact, but a Sony representative told CyberShack that the phones will be available from October 9. Orders placed via Sony's website will begin shipping on October 10.

CyberShack will aim to have reviews of both devices in the coming weeks.
