    I've tried the Bargain Alerts Request thread but no reponse. Reckon I should get a response by posting here instead....


    I'm currently in the market for a PS3. What sort of price are they going for in the shops at the moment and are there any good deals out there? I had a quick look at adverts.ie but there didn't seem to be any reasonable prices for a second hand machine. In fact the 60BG version seemed to top the price of a brand new 40gb one.

    Anyone on here with one for sale or that would do a swap for a WII(inc. 9 games)?

    Not being smart, but probably the reason there is no response is that prices change every week. Probably quicker to phone the usual suspects like Gamestop and check the websites.

    OK, looks like I will have to do a thrawl around the shops. Is it worth my while checking out xtravision? Are they competitive price wise?

    Xtravision are good. I got mine at HMV as it was giving the best deal at the time, so worth checking them out as well.

    Smyths have various deals, starting at 400 for the console with a free game from a select list.

    449 gets you console with two games. This seems standard pretty much everywhere I've checked recently.

    454 in Gamestop gets you the Rachet and Clank + Drake games and the console plus the usual 100 euro worth of vouchers that you'll never use.

    cheers
