    Hi Lindsay

    I am after a PS3 for GT5 and but have been waiting for a bargain.

    You said the condition was perfect - does it look like new?

    Also did it come in the original box?

    Thanks.

    Morrisons £199.99 for a brand new PS3 80GB.

    Why buy used, when they are a bargain at this price new.

    Its the earlier, better looking PS3, with alternative OS support. :)

    Oh! When GT5 is going to be released is anyones guess ???????????

    I bought my 80GB 11 months ago from ASDA for £299.99 with no extra's at all. Gulp.

    Thanks Lindsay.

    I am tempted by the price as I can get a game with the savings.

    How did you find dealing with Spotbuyer?
