Score A Bonus Gift With Samsung During This Year's World Cup

Online, May 18, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - 18th May 2010 - Samsung Electronics Australia is kicking off World Cup fever by launching two nationwide promotions, offering customers the chance to score big when they purchase one of Samsung's participating TVs. These promotions come hot on the heels of the recently launched, and surprisingly affordable, Samsung 3D TVs; the first to arrive in Australia.

From 1st May through 30th June, customers who purchase a selected Samsung 3D TV from retailers nationwide will be eligible to redeem a Bonus 3D bundle, containing a Samsung 3D Blu-ray player and two sets of rechargeable 3D glasses, valued at RRP $849. In addition to this Bonus 3D bundle, customers are also eligible to receive a Bonus 3D TV starter kit, containing a 3D Blu-ray Disc of DreamWorks Animation SKG's hit movie, Monsters vs. Aliens, and another two sets of battery powered 3D glasses . So for just $2,899 RRP, a family can enjoy a 40" Samsung LED 3D Series 7 TV, a 3D Blu-ray player, a 3D Blu-ray movie and four sets of 3D glasses.

In addition, for customers who purchase selected non-3D TVs, Samsung is offering the ultimate surround-sound entertainment experience with a Bonus Blu-ray Home Theatre System, valued at RRP $799. Imagine hearing the sound of the crowd roar, as if you are in the stadium, when the Socceroos score their first World Cup goal - all from the comfort of your living room!

Full terms and conditions of Samsung's new promotions can be found at www.samsung.com.au/promotions.

"The countdown is underway to the World Cup and we anticipate many fans will be eager to upgrade their televisions to experience all the matches in the best way possible," said Tony Brown, Marketing Manager, Samsung Electronics. "Those in the market for a new TV will score big with Samsung's new promotions."

"Samsung's new range of 3D TVs are not only affordable, but they also let you convert any 2D content to 3D. So, Aussie fans will be able to experience all of the action from South Africa as if they were pitch-side. Your only problem will be getting your friends and neighbours to leave your house!" he said.

Redemption of the Samsung promotional offer is as easy as registering online at www.samsung.com.au/promotions and sending the original receipt of purchase, along with the postage and handling fee , to Samsung Electronics Australia.

Samsung's leading range of Plasma, LCD and LED TVs offer the best way to enjoy all of the action and drama from the World Cup, which kicks off on 11th June.
