I've just replaced my Son's console for 3rd time, and decided to purchase from Argos. Core console £175 with 2 free games, and they're doing an offer this week, spend £100+ and get £10 voucher, I think.

I already had the memory HD from previous console, which I got using new customer discount code from Littlewoods for £40.

Would your son play alot of games which would require him to save his progress if so youd be best getting a premium console which includes a 20gb hard drive and a wireless controller, id recommend getting a play and charge kit unless you wnat to fork out X amount for AA betteries every few months

I know boots.com sell them but dont know what packages they do!

I got my OH's one from gamestation shop (they are ok to buy online too) last xmas, got 1 controller and 2 games for around £300 it was the best deal that OH wanted, i think the ones without the game were around
£279 , so i'd reckon theyd be cheaper this year.

I agree with getting a recharger for the batteries.
