ps3 best deal atm.

Anti

Hey lads,

Im looking to get myself a ps3 and im wondering who has the best deal atm? Im looking for the console, 2 controllers and a few games as a bundle. Id also like to pay for it over a 6 month interest free yoke, but i doubt i will find that anywhere. I have a few quick questions about it too:

1. Is it possible to stream media from the pc (divx, xvid etc etc)

2. Is the folding@home software built in, or do you have to download it?

3. Is it possible to hook up a keyboard and mouse to the ps3?

4. Are there actually any decent games on it yet?

I was just reading this today, about UT3 having keyboard and mouse support. So I assume you can hook em up straight-forward, but whether they'll work with a game will vary from game to game.

it is possoble to stream media, mp3's and mpg4's. no Divx.

folding@home is a 50mb download, not pre installed.

Keyboard and mouse, yes, i have a wireless usb logitech set running perfectly atm.

Decent games, a few, motor-storm is a decent driving game. The darkness is a goth style shooter, call of duty is a good ww2 shooter. more due to be released.

afaik you need to have the videos in a certain format, xvid/divx doesn't work i don't think, i haven't tried.

you've got to do a system update, then it's available under one of the menus think it's called network.

definitely possible to connect a keyboard as it was saying to me that i could when i was signing up for the playstation network thing.

i got mine on friday with motorstorm and genji games and casino royale and black hawk down blu-ray with extra controller. i haven't had a chance to play genji as i've been playing motorstorm all the time.

the best deals i think atm are

€630 virgin: PS3, extra official controller, and three games from a list.

€630 hmv: PS3, extra offical controller, two games from a list, casino royale blu-ray and black hawk down blu-ray.

i went for the hmv one
