The Playstation 3 Bargain Hunt

xxann-mariexx

Some sites have bundle deals with the new 80GB Console.

Game - £309.99 with either Battlefield Bad Company, GTA 4 or Beijing 2008. There are also more deals available that are more expensive than these.

Dixons - £299.99 with either Metal Gear Solid 4, Haze or Wall E which means you are getting the game for free!! Again there are a few other packages available.

These seem like really good deals and i have cancelled my pre order and am gona go for one of these now!! For those that are still wanting the 40GB console, just wait a bit as with these great deals the 40GB will have to come down in price soon to get rid of any remaining stock.

didn't they make the newer versions of the ps3 use less power and produce less heat?

Went to HMV today and saw that they had a ps3 80gb bundle which included call of duty modern warfare and an extra controller for £345.
With some work vouchers i can get the whole lot at £311. is that a good deal so far?

have also heard that the 80gb version come with a ps2 emmulator installed, which would be able to play ps2 games.

had a look on other web pages to find that only certain ps2 games will work with the emmulator on the new 80gb ps3, the 60gb played most, but not all.

There is no emulator in the UK 80gb.

You can buy a 250gb HD from places like scan to place in the PS3, my view would be buy the cheaper model and upgrade yourself....

I did the upgrade, very easy ;-)

would agree with that , just bought a 40gb for £234 + Quidco delivered from newitts (sold out now) ,will upgrade the hard drive as and when , son didnt want the duel shock controller as it would just use extra battery power with the wireless controller,
just keep hunting around there are good deals out there .

Any idea on the best place to buy 15 PS3s?
My friend needs them for his work as they're giving them as prizes.
Thanks

whoever

Can anyone confirm this? According to the websites that I have seen they mention software emulation in the 80GB version. I only want it for a few games, such as Buzz and SingStar so I'm not that bothered about the odd hang or crash if the s/w emulation isn't 100% full proof.
