    Ha i reckon Cookie,
    There is no way these will sell out, I know alot of stores and companies that have lots in stock.
    At over £400 i think its a rip compared to the wii.

    Sony have made sure they will not run out and dont want to see any empty shelves, I do hope the greedy ones have got their fingers burnt, if anyone has 2 I will pay £150 for one!

    I would wait, usually the first versions have teething problems, hopefully Sony will fix the 12 ps2 game problem and will reduce the price, perhaps it's even best waiting until nearer christmas when there may be special offers, also you could buy from America as the PS3 is region free. I think Sony have played this all wrong, I've always favoured playstations but it's a shame they couldn't bring this out a christmas just gone, at least the Wii would have some competition. I think I might buy a Wii before a PS3, have to get saving!!!!

    Probably best Deal I've seen so far is John Lewis online. You get an extra official sixaxis controller and a game for £499....

    BUT, if you have quidco you get either 5% or 8% cashback - not sure which, plus there are some £10 and £15 vouchers flying about. So you should get it for around £450-£460!! bargain!

    Yeah I really want ps3 as I am big fan of sony had ps1 and ps2 but the price is really putting me off it like half month's wages I am gonna try wait to they go down in price. I think a lot people have got 2 to try resell one I noticed on ebay today some bloke is selling one for £650 and basically he is buying it from play.com for £525 he is even stupid enough to link to there page for description

    The Dixons one for 380 is good - espically if you dont want the extra controller of game!!
    :beer:

    Do bear in mind though that you need an egg card to get it for that price. close run thing otherwise particually if you want the second controller as Dixons charge £35 for it .

    I bet lots of them are going to be crying into their beer tonight.You can get one on ebay 'Buy it now' for £600 with delivery tomorrow.I have just come back from town, and Virgin, Argos and HMV have stock, they have loads of people looking at it, but I didn't see anyone buying one.
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.
