Razer Megasoma Review

Razer Megasoma is a hybrid of a hard and a soft mouse mat; If you love the softness of a soft mat but want to have the speed of a hard mat, Razer Megasoma delivers (this is debatable and I guess more like a personal preference). Razer Megasoma sits somewhere in between, combining the best [...]

Here is what you need to do to get the ACER P244W LCD monitor for just AUD$252.55 (or US$166.75).

  1. Print the catalogue from MSY (the cheapest computer shop ever :) ). At the moment this post is written, the price is AUD$349.
  2. Bring the form to Officeworks because they have an offer to beat any price 5% lower. Good for you, bad for them! After 5% discount, the price now becomes AUD$331.55.
  3. ACER has an AUD$79 rebate offer (please double check whether the offer still exists by the time you are reading this) in which you can claim from ACER’s Cash back claim page. After cashback, the price will now be AUD$252.55.
  4. Laugh and enjoy your new 24 inch Full HD 1080p!

Conditions:

  • Officeworks need to call MSY (or any other store) to confirm the stock availability.
  • You’ll have to wait for a few months before you can get the cheque from Acer’s cash back offer.
  • You must be prepared to see the Officeworks staff’s frown face when you show them the MSY catalogue :) (What do you expect? They are selling the monitor for AUD$548 and you are buying it for AUD$252.55!)

My boss and I bought 2 of them from Officeworks for the office to replace my 2x 19″ CRT monitor last week. So what are you waiting for? Go get ‘em!

It’s probably cheaper to get it on a shop if you have to pay for a shipping free outside of the country :D

I have tried printing off MSY stuff before and they rejected it because it looked fake.

What! Everybody knows MSY :D In that case, simply go to a different Officeworks. I know a lot of people in the forum took this over and they all took home the monitor

That is a sizeable discount on a screen with really impressive specifications!!! Well ferreted out! Are there similar offers by Acer for other parts of the world that you’re aware of?

Hm I’m not sure whether the cashback is only for Acer Australia or WorldWide but I’m sorry, I do not know
