Tried to buy a Sony Tg1 video camera from first Broadway Photo and then Preferred Photo. Consumer receives a call within one business day to "verify" the purchase information. Then they try to hard sell upgraded battery because Sony only sells a 15 minute battery with new units. When that fails they ask if you want the US version or Japanese version (duh????) becasue they have different powere supplys. Then when you explain that Japan also is on 115 Volt system like US they asked if I wanted their extended warrantee as Sony warantee for this unit is not valid in the US. Another very big deception.

Basically, they want to upsell everything except with the warantee they tried a bait and switch. US version with warantee costs more than the Sony Japan version.

I think there is at least unethical behavior here. But with using the internet and telephones, I suspect there is also interstate laws about deceptive sales practices at play. Found this site and saw plenty of complaints already. Wondering when someone is gonna shut these boys down?
