I've found a playstation 3, 80gb console for £289.99 with 4 games. The games can be sold off on playtrade for approx £25 each which will greatly reduce the initial outlay of the console...

Found a voucher on ebay for £5 off as well for 99p, so a further £4 off and if you take out a loyalty card at a cost of £3 it will have £7.25 credit on there so a further £4.25 reduction...

Here's the link:

Please let me know if you can better this 80gb console ideally required...

total price with savings: £281.73

Dixons are doing the following bundle (Playstation 3)
Sony 80gb Console with Little Big Planet & Resistance 2
for 293, with a 5XMAS discount code (5%) that comes to 278 and if you happen to have an Egg Money credit card there's an extra 5% cashback
http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/editorial/eggdiscount/?camp_id=special-egg-cashback so that comes to around £264 delivered.

Not at all bad, when you consider the games are selling for around £40 each.

Just a quick note to parents.
If you are buying an xbox 360 DONT get the cheap arcade edition. They are really conning people on the adverts.
"jump in" for £129.99. You wont be able to play online.You need a hard drive to save maps,profiles,updates etc....
Microsoft are also really tight with their gigs as well."20gig is not enough on the premium £160.

Xbox 360 Arcade £97.99
Xbox 360 £147.99

From Sainsburys (when bought with game costing £30 or more)

I think the premium/pro (or whatever they call it nowadays) comes with a 60gb hard drive.

Dillinger is right on the online play though. If you want to go on-line, you'll need the hard drive. Me, I just like to play by myself (nearly typed that wrong).;)

I'm curious - what is to stop people getting a 360 arcade and simply attaching a standard PC 750GB/1TB USB 2 drive?
Seems to me to be a much more cost effective solution.

:edit:

incidentally, where are the console manufacturers getting all of these pitifully small harddrives from?!
20/40/60gb?!?!?! Such tiny drives were obsolete years ago :S

Does the Xbox premium have built in games please???????
