    Looking to get a PS3 and wondered where the best place to get one is. Smyths seem to be doing PS3 2 free games and 2 controllers for 599

    I saw the same deal in xtravision. I think most places are doing it. Still no word of an actual price drop in Europe yet though.

    The 599 deal is an official Sony deal so pretty much everywhere will be doing it. It's the console, a second controller then a choice of either Resistance or Motostorm and then a choice of either Genji or F1(I think, either that or Ridge Racer). It's called the Starter Pack.

    hold off until january if you can

    Yep cause Sony have no more 60gb in their stock warehouses. Every 60gb PS3 is out in each suppliers warehouse waiting for the shops worldwide. Sony are currently making the 80gb for the US and Japan. There may be a 100gb+ model for the EU and Aus.

    All 60gbs should be gone completly form shops by next January in all major territories.

    Not exactly a big saving, is postage included? Considerind the 2nd controller is nearly €50 thats only saving you €50 off the new shop price. Less if theres a postage charge.

    Tescos have 50% back in vouchers but none in stock in Cork. She swore it was ok on the PS3, but unfortunately they don't have any. €310 would be pretty sweet.

    500euro for a brand new console and a drive out to pick it up. Could have it in my mits early next week. Its 43.50 for a second controller from play. That would give me a saving of 56.50. But do I even need a second controller?

    Play.com won't ship electronics to Ireland, will they?
