Personally won't get combi.
Toshiba 32W1333 is £220. The spec look very similar.
And you can find DVD player at £30, or Blu-ray at £50.0 -

Well what about the dongle like the one in the link? It still works out cheaper than your landlord wants to charge.0 -
How do dongles exactly work then? I use Internet a lot every day so might not be good for me. True could get TV and player separate. Would love blu ray p.ayer. Ps3 have them which I want, can u play DVD & Bluray on ps3?

You need to approach the landlord to find out what you'd be getting internet wise. Whether there are limits. If he buys you the cheapy 10gb max limit, you will easily go over that, and if it's 19 a month for that, he's seriously ripping you off.
Ask him what download limits there are per month, and if he doesn't know, or wont tell you, be wary in taking up his offer. Is this a room in a house, where the landlord lives, if so I guess it'd be his internet with his wifi, and frankly that would be very dear for that deal.
PS3 is blueray, and dvd compatible so you could get away with out buying a dvd/blueray player, if you have a ps30 -
Cool would love ps3 but think they are expensive! Thanks will enquire bout Internet see if its wireless too. One in Uni is through cable so bit annoying

You can ask about wireless, BUT you need to also ask what the usage limits are too. If you are on a 10GB deal per month, aside for that being shocking value for £19 a month, if you're a typical ex-student you will zoom through that limit.0

Unless you have rich parents who are going to keep sending you loads of money, you will be living on a show string budget. I was trying to give you the cheapest option for internet. But it sounds like you don't need to save money.0 -
I don't have rich parents. Will be on a budget but dongle might not be good if I'm online every day. 2nd option on site not much cheaper than £19 option

Well cut your internet use to fit in with your budget.
With a dongle you have internet access wherever you are, and not just at your rented accommodation.0
