    Me too! I'm looking to sell my xbox360 (purely because all my friends have ps3 - peer pressure) and I'd like to get a PS3. Any ideas as to where the best place to buy one currently is?

    Thanks :money:

    I'm over 40 & just to let you know that LittleBigPlanet isn't just for kids, it's an amazing game for all ages, i love it............ :beer:
    What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about !!!
  • Am looking a ps3 myself 4 Christmas ..
    Argos has a few deals but i was on ebay there today.
    I seen a great deal but i really dont know much about these consoles.

    Prices of each offer would help.

    The Argos offer is pretty good but you have 3 fixed games (£284.99?).
    Game have the same offer (was same price but at £299.99 now!!! Gone up!) but a little more freedom on games (1 or 2 new release and one older release (each one from a selection of a few)). A bit better is you want FIFA, NFS, Uncharted 2.
    HMV had a good one when I went in last week (can't remember individual prices but 250gb PS3 with 2 or 3 games and another 2 platinum games, including GTAIV which were 2 for £30, came to about £315).
    One thing I will say is a lot of PS3's are being returned. It was on Watchdog 2 weeks ago. It's usually a pretty trivial fault but still needs a recall.

    Personally, I'd wait until after Christmas...probably get some better deals.
  • I would be as well not buying it off ebay then?
    Fight Night Round 4 comes with it too.
    And 2 controllers
    I might try game as you said :) Thanks
    But you should take a look on Ebay . The item is Ps3 With Fight Night Round 4 if Any others is interested Thanks Fozzeh

    Looking at the prices for FNR4, you'd be best getting them seperately.

    TBH, eBay for something like a PS3 is bad. You have nowhere to walk back into, say it isn't working and expect a fair turn around. And the prices are high...you can walk into a shop and get better deals, customer service and haggle things in (like a HDMI cable or something!).
