Hey! First post on the site so apologies for any mistakes or if this has already been posted.
Currently everyone is selling this product at the same price, but got an email from Apple this morning to say that they are giving 3 months free apple music gift card when you buy the speaker with them. Not a bad deal as you are getting a little extra for the same price you would pay to Amazon, Currys, John Lewis, etc.
Highlights of the Sonos Play:1:
-Plays everything, including Apple Music, streaming services, Internet radio and podcasts
-Plug in, connect and stream without interruptions or interference
-Play different songs in different rooms or the same song everywhere
-Control with one app on your iPhone or iPad — click a room, pick a song, hit play
-Software updates help your speaker keep getting even better
-Sounds bigger than it looks thanks to meticulously tuned Class-D amplifiers and custom-built drivers
-Trueplay tuning ensures you get the very best sound, no matter where you put PLAY:1
-Stereo pair with another PLAY:1 for wider, bigger and deeper stereo sound
SO a bit confusing what they will actually give you but after taking to Apple via chat it would seem its a card worth 3 x £9.99. iTunes credit and Apple Music credit is interchangeable so this is actually a very good deal for the right person. Makes the speaker about £109.98.

So what is Apple Music ? Like Spotify ?

Isn't if free for 3 months anyway of does this tip it up after ?
Its credit for 3 months which is £9.99 x 3 basically. So a new sign up to apple music would get 6 months out of this. Longer if you can get a student discount (£5 per month).

Can some one advise me if this is a deal ?
I want a Sonos 1 and a Sonos 3
2 of us own Iphones, 1 an Itouch 5 and other a HTC android phone.
Not worth dealing with this for me if I Music is a non starter.
Spotify have albums released just 3 days old that under premium £9.99 a month you can download to you device and listen to WITHOUT STREAMING ?
I've looked through the blog and its vague on listening to Imusic without a signal or Wifi

Apple Music and Spotify are very similar. You can download to devices and avoid streaming/having to have signal on both.
Apple Music has an app for Android.
Both have family plans which I believe are £14.99 per month. On the Apple side a family shares one credit card for all purchases which may be annoying for some. You can add gift cards to accounts and these will be used before the main credit card which is a workaround if you want family sharing of music but individuals to pay for their own apps etc.
Both services work great with Sonos.
Personally I wouldn't bother with a Play 3 if you can get two play 1's instead.
Hope that helps.

This just got SUPER HOT
I have an American Express cash back platinum card
Apple
£30 back
Spend £200 or more, get £30 back
Save to Card to get a £30 statement credit when you spend £200+ online at Apple at apple.com/uk or in-store at a UK Apple retail store by 31 December 2016. Valid once for first 25,000 Cardmembers to save. T&Cs apply.
2 SONOS play 1's with 3 months IMusic free and an additional 6 months worth in cards plus 4.4% cash back via Quidco !
The final cost is therefore £279.90 less £30 (additional cashback) less 12.32 quidco = £237.58 FOR 2 Sonos 1's including 6 months free I music.
Should I post separately ?

I have got this deal, but Quidco will only track at 2.2% as it is not a refurbished product. Bought with the hope I can flog the music gift cards online as I use spotify.

FYI apple offer student discount via UNiDAYS bringing it down to £126 without the music vouchers if you can get the discount.

Thanks for this. Ordered via unidays and despite it not showing the gift cards I am expecting to receive them based on the terms and conditions for the offer. Also the Apple Store app is indicating that it includes it.

Great speakers and a good deal. I have 2 as a stereo pair and what brings them into their own is the sonos functionality. Paid £150 and £124 through flubit which i thought was great at the time!

Very good deal since you can use the card for purchases other than Apple Music subscription - thanks to those that pointed this out. Tempted to pick up a couple now!

Curious to know if you got the Codes? Mine have come through though I did not order via Unidays or the companies discount as no gift card came up.

Received it about 1 hour after ordering, speakers were supposed to arrive today according to the tracking details but I have not received anything aside from an SMS to say delivery is delayed.. That was 7 hours ago :smile:
