Where is the best place to buy a PS3?

My son has asked for a PS3- just wondering where the cheapest place to buy one is? We also have an XBox 360 which we can trade in, but I'm not sure whether or not it's best to trade it in or sell privately... If anyone can offer any advice I'd be most grateful!:D

    nooooo keep the xbox, you have both then :D
    if not bung it on a forum or gumtree, saves you having ebay charges then

    depends what ps3 your after, they dont make the 60gb ones anymore, so if you want one of them your best bet is to go on ebay

    or if you just want a 40gb try play.com http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/5440007/Sony-Playstation-3-PS3-Console-with-40GB-HDD-+-Grand-Theft-Auto-IV/Product.html
    this includes gta a, probz what your son's after the most
    + a 5% off code experience08 (i think) valid till 12th may
    which i reckon is a nice little bundle for 285 quid

    Hi moneysaverraver, many thanks for your advice, you're very kind!
    Yes, you're probably right, it would be best to hang on to the 360.
    The bundle at Play.com looks good- but doesn't seem to be in stock? I can't see any 'buy' button...:confused:
    Ta for the code!:T

    Thanks, but I think we decided we'd like to keep it after all! I think we may regret it if we sell it, but thanks for the offer anyway.
