Good Finance deals on PS3...

Do they exist? Looking at getting a PS3 for myself, can't find any finance deals that aren't brutal finance wise.

Was thinking of getting a mobile phone contract as another option, but think thats just getting desperate...any help?!

    Save up for it? I know it's a strange concept but once upon a time, people used to.
  • Finance on something that small a value is going to crucify you with interest. If you can't get a 0% credit card, save up. £300 isn't a lot of money.

    I agree with the above. You're going to pay a crazy price just to get something a bit sooner.
  • Yeah I know, I know. I just thought Currys did some sort of 9 month interest free, but I am being bone idle, need to save all the money I have for my new house deposit, its just gonna have to wait...

  • Well if you have the money already saved borrow the money off yourself and pay yourself the interest.
    Nothing to see here, move along.

    I just got a halifax credit card with 10 months interest free. And intend to buy a ps3 and use the interest free months. I have ample money to buy it outright, but would rather not touch it and this way I can justify it alittle more to the wife, if the payment isn't a lump sum.
