  • Hi All - havent been here for a while...merry xmas to All.
    Right - I want to buy a PS3 and the best deals I've found are as follow:
    PS3 160GB Console with a bundle and say adding battlefield3 + Need for speed is 199.99 at Game:

    I've also just found one at amazon
    PS3 320GB Console with Unchartered 3 and "Faster Movie" Blue Ray - also 199.99

    I havent bought a game machine since I first bought my XBOX - which was the first one - yes that long... after having kids - I now have some spare time to have some fun...hence a new games console.

    My question to all you experienced gamers and surfers is do the above 2 deals sound good or is there normally a dramatic drop after Xmas?

    Cheers for any advice

    Sandy

    I also just found the Amazon deal for the PS3 bundle 320GB at £199. Just checked again and it's gone up to £229 before my very shocked eyes!! Damn. :doh:

    I am wanting to get the 320GB PS3 for my OH. I've looked at the bundles and don't know if he would want the move start kit with some I've seen (what do you do with that again with what kinds of games :idea:?) This seems to have gone as well now from Amazon.

    He really likes his war games like Call of Duty etc as well.

    Is the Amazon deal still the best around at £229 does anyone think or is there better? :think: I really want to get it soon as it's stressing me out all this looking around trying to find the best deal.

    Also I have been reading a lot about the PS3 and it has some bad reviews, one of which being the 'flashing red light' problem to name one. But don't you get bad reviews with anything. We have a PS2 and have never had any problems with that. Maybe I'm over thinking too much now. Been looking around for the past three hours now, eyes gone and head frazzled.

    Thanks!

    Here are some of the latest bundle offers for the PS3:

    Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) Slim Console 320GB and Karate Kid Blu-Ray - £189.99 at eBay Zavvi Outlet - Item number: 270869324030

    Sony PS3 320gb with 8 games to choose from £298 in store at Game

    Poster states the PS3 comes with 2 games which are Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Ferrari Challenge, then a choice of six other games included with the bundle.

    This offer still appears to be going too.

    Other games included with this bundle:

    Need for Speed: The Run
    Batman Arkham City
    Battlefield 3
    Resistance 3
    Deus Ex Human Revolution
    FIFA 12

    The above games would cost approximately £194.43 if bought separately from this bundle so does appear a very good offer. Also similar offer in Northern Ireland as well.

    And:

    PS3 320G with FIFA 12, Uncharted 3 , Battlefield 3 and Faster blu-ray - £249.99 at Gamestation. This offer ends 31/12/2011.
