If you do the financing (like 12 months or whatever) it does. But if you do the pay in 3 or whatever, it doesnt as its not legally debt.

Why would anyone repay that? Everyone should buy, make 1 payment, then enjoy your 67% discount!

Seems like a potentially disastrous business strategy. Just think of all the destitute Sonybois taking advantage of this.

The system was set up so it doesn't count as 'debt' so they wouldn't be beholden to the regulations a regular credit card issuer would have to face (oh wow man 'fintech'!). If they send the debt to collections it will definitely hit your credit.
