I fancy the package with extra controller and the cable. Anyone had a better deal?

chop

 

i payed £350 for mine from gamestation

60GB with a choice of 2 games, picked Motorstorm & Fall of man out of about 8 games iirc

also came with 2 blue ray DVD's which i picked because they didnt have the ones it was suspose to come with

pretty good i recken, Game do a similar deal but without the dvds for £350, so i picked gamestation, but i did shop around before i got mine, cant go wrong with the deal tho me thinks

 

i still think blockbuster sounds better tho mate? cable is £18 odd and controller £35? get them for £20?

 

yeah mate, sounds good

 

Now i need 3 PS3's as my cousin and a mate will buy also. Now where the hell could we get a discount for buying 3? Surely thats possible as its such a big order!!

 

You'll need to gol to a more independant computer games shop.

Theres one in Luton called 101 Games. Im sure if i went in there and told the bloke im buying 3 ps3's now, what discount are you going to do me? He be a complete idiot, not to do a decent deal.

Go to HMV, GAME, etc... They dont need your buisness so wouldn't bother doing a deal. As the whole time you have been trying to talk them into it, they have sold about 20 consoles throughout the county

Personally, im waiting for December 25th

 

Chopster, I seen an advert in the window of my HMV over here:

60GB PS3, 2 Free Sony Games and 2 Free Blu Ray discs. It was next door to Gamestation though! Personally I would wait until Xmas as these will get better deals I reckon and lets face it, they wont sell out so they will have to beef the packs up.

 

typical tight Jock

just get one.. Seem to have dropped a fair bit.. I paid near on 500 quid with one game, one controller and HDMI lead.. Still worth it tho, purely for blue-ray

 

Chop fucking Chop, deary me, I'm almost willing to buy you one!

It doesn't matter what deal you get anyway because 100% guaranteed the very next day, a better deal will be available. Sods law.

Like Westy, I paid £425 + £20 for HDMIcable + £40 for a game + £20 for Casino Royal (Which incidentaly I got a free copy of anyway for regestering the bloody thing )

 

i tell you what seeing as im such a nice guy lets go halfers

 

I've just bought another PS3 for downstairs (want it for the Blu-Ray player really, as I can't be bothered to keep unplugging the one from upstairs to watch films on the AV downstairs )....

40gb PS3
Spiderman 3 Blu-Ray
Sega Rally
£299

From Game, but offer ends on 8th November.

All depends on what type of deal you are after I suppose.

 

fagin

it HAS to be a 60gig for me really. too many advantages for only £50 or so

 

Can I ask why?

Is it a prime requirement to have PS2 compatibility...... because compatibility is not 100% as the 60gb PS3 for the UK is crappy software emulation and not hardware like my US 60gb one? IMO that is the only extra that is worth having on the 60gb model over the 40gb version...... if your going to make use of it.

 

Chop - Blockbuster deal was the best one i could find! By a long long way

 

that would be my primary reason for going for the 60 GB one

what's the deal with US or jap ones then? can they also play uk games, uk blu-ray discs, uk broadband settings etc?

 

They can do everything apart from play region locked Blu-Ray films and UK PS2 games.

 

LambChop, you have PM mate

 

Fagin thanks

that makes them useless then, so a uk 60GB is needed

 

It's arguable that they are useless whether they are UK, JAP or US based.

 

net surfing? extra usb slots, card reader and playing older games(better for the kids when you can get cheap ps2 games ). thats the things i can think of.
