Playstation 3 only €519.97 in Argos (was €629.99)

Canonfan

This is the 60GB one, I think it's a good deal.:D

AlmightyCushion

Yep it's the 60GB version.

Canonfan

If I don't find better deal elsewhere, I'll get this one.

anotherlostie

Why would that be a good deal? It doesn't appear to come with anything based on the catalogue. Or does it except you need to know that!

You can get the same model with 2 games (Resistance/ Motorstorm etc etc), one Sixaxis controller and one Blu-ray title for €499 in HMV (as I did) and there are other offers in Virgin Megastores, Gamestop detailed on the Games/ Consoles/ PS thread.

Are you sure that isn't the 40GB version?

Well let me see! It has 4 USB ports. An ethernet cable. Plays PS2 games (grudgingly). And, oh, has a 60GB hard drive.

Yes, it's a 60GB machine.:)

If so, Mod please remove this thread.

argos and bargains dont go together

anywhere else thats selling the same thing probably has it for 500euros, but as usual argos like to rip people off as they can get away with it.

whiterebel

Almost everywhere else better than that. Apart from Harveys Normans.

Dave!

anotherlostie, is that in all HMV's? Where did you get it?

Aquos76

Smyths also have a deal for €499 for the 60g one and €399 for the 40g one on its own

phill106

seen gamestop is doing the 60gb one, the same game packages everywhere seems to be doin (resistance or a few others plus ridge racer or a few others) plus 100 euro in vouchers for 499, not sure if it came with the fancy controller or not

Got my 60gb PS3 in HMV (Henry Street Dublin) last week for €499 with Resistance, Ridge Racer and a Blu Ray movie Fantastic 4 (Rise of the Silver Surfer). However they wanted €60 for a HDMI cable which I thought was steep. Can anyone recommend where I can get one for less than that as I'm sure the AV cable isn't giving me the best quality picture on my HD tv.

unklerosco

get any cheap hdmi cable... ebay, amazon.co.uk have em for .99p, used one on my ps3 n it was perfect(wont ship to Ireland anymore tho) Peats have one for €15

witnessmenow

(wonders if he should start getting commission off dealextreme!!)

Dealextreme have a hdmi cable for about E8 delvered, its the one i use and i have to say it looks amazing! sure is cheaper than E60! delivary is slow though

Ebay have countless HDMI cables, I bought one for €7 including delivery, works perfectly. I've seen these €40 and €60 HDMI cables in rip-off sh1tholes like Virgin and Dixons...makes me sick, especially as I know how much profit they make off them (I used to work in Dixons, and those cables are where they make most of their money...)
