Default Best deals on a PS3 at the moment? Where from?

I need a new phone contract, so am thinking about a free PS3 deal, but are there any good cheap PS3 bundles to buy anywhere before I go down the "free " PS3 route?

Ps3 did 40GB or 80GB, no 60GB?? The difference is literally the size of the hard drive.

PS3 with Killzone in the box + Tom Clancy Rainbow 6 Vegas and Haze games Ł299.99
PS3 with Little Big Planet in the box Ł279.99
PS3 with 1 Blu-Ray (300 or I am Legend) + Blu-Ray remote Ł279.99
PS3 with 2 selected games (Can't remember which) Ł309.99

60GB is better, because:
1). It supports PS2 games (US version is the best - it has Emotion Engine chip to deal with that issue, euro version is good too, but it run old games on software emulation). 40GB version doesn't support PS2 games at all. Only PS1 games can be played.
2). It has 4 USBs (40GB has only 2).
3). It has memory slots (40GB doesn't have that)
Both versions have wi-fi.

No 60GB's? wtf 60 GB's were the first line of PS3 which had mean you could play all PS1/2 Games & also had stuff like 4 USB's were the 40's & 80's & also the 120's didnt have!


The 60GB is the one to have but they dont make them no more!

Got one now Ebay rules for stuff like this, 60 gig as new with 7 games , 3 blue rays, all the leads + a 24k gold HDMI, 3 gen controllers and a DVD remote, and a stand....... Ł350

Can't believe the price of the console in the shops is still so high to be honest!

Not brand brand new, but still even got the cellophane on it , amazing really how many people rush out and buy a new console and loads of games/bits, then never use the thing!

Why don't you get a cordless keyboard / mouse and use the PS3 for the net?

Thats the beauty of the PS3 it's so much more than just a games console

Doh, I forgot about the original one's as I deal with the 40GB and 80GB more. The 40GB's were filtered out over Christmas and the 60GB's were long gone before that! The 80GB are the current one's in most shops.
