Sony Playstation 3 PS3 Slim Console (120GB) - €260 delivered [SendIt]

The voucher code 'WILD10' (10% off for 24 hours) isn't supposed to work on electronics / gaming consoles but this seems to work!

Be quick.. as they may catch on!


Buy it @ Sendit

Quote:
PLAYSTATION 3 Slim--32% smaller, 36% lighter and consuming 34% less power than the original!

Please Note! PS3 Slim is not compatible with PlayStation 2 games.

The internal design architecture of the PS3 Slim, from the main semiconductors and power supply unit to the cooling mechanism, has been completely redesigned, achieving a much slimmer and lighter body. Compared to the very first PS3 model with 60GB HDD, the internal volume as well as its thickness and weight are trimmed down to approximately two-thirds.

Furthermore, power consumption is also cut to two-thirds, helping to reduce fan noise. While inheriting the sleek curved body design of the original model, the form factor of the PS3 Slim features a new meticulous design with textured surface finish, giving an all-new impression and a casual look.

PS3 Slim continues to offer the cutting-edge features and functions of the original models, such as the ability to enjoy high-definition Blu-ray disc movies and games, as well as various content and services downloadable through the network. PS3 Slim's storage size has increased from 80GB to 120GB, and with the extra capacity users will be able to store more games, music, photos, videos as well as various content and services available through PlayStation Network.

Having more than 27 million registered accounts around the world, PlayStation Network offers more than 15,000 pieces of digital content, ranging from game titles, trailers, and demos to more than 15,000 movies and TV shows via PlayStation Store. PlayStation Network members can also download free applications, such as PlayStation Home, a ground-breaking 3D social gaming community available on PS3 that allows users to interact, communicate and share gaming experiences, as well as Life with PlayStation, which offers users various news and information on a TV monitor in the living room by connecting the PS3 to the network.



* PS3 system software update version 3.00
* The updated system software adds various user-friendly features such as the "What's New" screen, where users can quickly browse the new items available in PlayStation Store as well as their recently played games directly on the XMB (XrossMediaBar), with shortcuts to each piece of content. PS3 will evolve continuously with the system software updates, further improving the operability and enhancing the user experience available through the network. PS3 owners will be able to enjoy new features by simply updating the PS3 system software to version 3.00 via the "System Update" function on the XMB.
* BRAVIA Sync feature
* The PS3 Slim is also equipped with the BRAVIA Sync feature. By connecting the PS3 Slim and a BRAVIA TV with the HDMI cable, users are able to directly operate the XMB on PS3 using the TV remote control. Other functions include "System Standby" that will automatically turn off the PS3 when the BRAVIA TV is turned off.
* Vertical Stand for PS3 Slim (CECH-2000 series)
* By utilising the Vertical Stand (sold separately), users will be able to set the PS3 Slim in vertical position, making it easier to place the PS3 anywhere at home.

Surely they won't honour the code on this? They even say not valid on electronics so theres no real comeback.

Worth a shot..

And The Hut honoured a code (that wasn't meant to be used on electronics / computing) on a Samsung NC10 for me and I got it for under €300 last year.

HMV have dropped all their PS3 fat with 2 games deals to 299 so I would imagine you will get a bundle with a PS3 slim aright.

Got an email from them just now:

"Thank you for placing your order with us.

Unfortunately we are unable to ship electrical items outside of the UK. We apologise for any inconvenience caused, no money has been taken from your card."

Was worth a shot tho....

It'll be shipped from one of the Channel Islands no ? If so then anytihng over €22 is subject to a VAT charge (CI outside the EU). Can't remember what the customs rate is. Might be anything over €150
