Playstation Portable / PSP - Where is the best deal.

Hi guys, im hoping somone can help me find a good psp deal, cheaper then to one i already found if possible.

The best i have found at the moment is from Currys, it consists of the White Value pack and with 2 games - Daxter & F1 06. This cost 170.99 after the 5% YAW voucher. But at the moment it is out of stock.

Is there a better offer available anywhere? I would prefer to buy from a retail store so if there are any problems i could take it back more easily.

    I could offer you the psp and 5 games of your choise but it is useless if I dont have stock.

    The best deal would be got on ebay people are getting bored of the psp now and flogging them.

    Most places use the standard priceing policy
    base pack £150
    Value pack £180
    Gigapack £215

    Most places give you a free game with value and giga pack but a free game is a waste if the game isnt somthing you want. The best option is the Value pack take the free game the bigger games shops give a better choice of games then buy your self a 1 or 2GB memory card the cost will be less than the gigapack.

    pc world have the same deal and it is in stock. it can be found here
  • Yeah, it came back in stock today in Currys and Dixons as well.

    PC World dont have the 5% YAW code.

    Littlejohn - i would prefer to buy it new, i cant imagine how id feel if i bought one from ebay and it had a stratch on it lol. And ebay dont offer no garantees, that is why im looking for the best deal in retail shop/online.

    gaming_guy - thanks for that, gamestation still have the value pack at £150, that looks temting, good spot, even if white is the colour of my choice.

    Use your Egg card (if you have one) for an extra 5% cashback or www.quidco.com for 2% for Currys or 3.5% for Dixons. HTH. Are Game not cheaper? they do an loyalty card and give 10% student discount on some purchases. Also if the package has items you don't want they sometimes let you trade it in for the actual package itself.
    2p off is still 2p off!
  • Argos are offering a PSP, 1gb memory card and 2 games for £199

    Its a discontinued line apparently!

    I just checked the Today only offers at Scan http://www.scan.co.uk/todayonly/ and they have the white PSP vaule pack full UK retail version including Lemmings for £139.83 + delivery

    It is the 2nd Item from the bottom in the first section total price is £146.86 including delivery

    you could also get the 2GB Sandisk gaming memory card for it for another £50

    That makes it less than £200 (£196.78 to be precise) for a white psp, 1 game and a 2GB memory card.

    Scan are an online and bricks and morter company I go to their building and buy stuff over the counter as they are based just off the m61 junction 6 near the Reebok Stadium home of the mighty Wanderers 10 minutes from me.

    With the £20 left over fromthe Gigapack price go to game station and get a few pre owned games that he wants rather than being stuck with games he isnt interested in.

    The Scan today only offers are exactly that they are 24 hour offers between 10 am and 12 noon they are changed each day so be quick if you want it.
