Very bad deal compared to this one!

Sorry I was just trying to be helpful.

If I was buying for my boys, they would not play with Singster or Buzz, but they would love Harry Potter and the spare controller is handy for 2 player games, so it would be a better deal for me if I was buying.

Does anyone know if the offer applies (albeit at a slightly higher price) to the silver console (I know, fashion victim) or if its black-only...?

Yes but you could sell the Singstar and Buzz for around £50 combined without even pushing the sale hard, Harry Potter is worth around a tenner and the extra controller is unofficial junk, which I think cost £3 last year.

If you don't want singstar or buzz then try 'GAME'
Saw an offer in their window today for the PS2 with both Harry Potter and Narnia for £95.

I think it's the black one only.

It's working online again now, comes up as £99.97 when you add the 3 to your basket. The silver one came up at £150ish.

Shame. Its a good deal but I don't think a black one would fit in as well (and silver spray doesn't give you quite the same finish ) - its been made clear on the website now that its black only.

Having purchased this bundle last friday, I have encountered a problem with the singstar part of the bundle. I found that the Singstar ROCKS disc kept locking up the ps2and it was very jumpy. Some tracks would not play at all. The same occured on my other ps2 unit. I returned the singstar part of the bundle to argos who replaced it. The replacement disc was found to be slightly better but still causing problems. I have since purchased an additional Singstar game (ANTHEMS) which plays fine on both my ps2's. This leaves me wondering if thats why the singstar bundle is free as part of the deal. Anyone else find these problems?

p.s the offer is still a cracking buy

Is it the LEGENDS disc or the ROCKS disc?
I thought the offer only applied to the ROCKS version?
If it is the ROCKS disc then there are known issues with it as certain versions of the PS2 cause it to crash or act strangely on certain songs.
Haven't checked out my copy yet! Will make a point of it now.
