    It isn't really much cheaper online unless you are buying a second-hand one. Wait for E3 (in 2 weeks i think) and there might be a price drop for the PS3.

    Still waiting to see if any good 40GB deals come about before the 80gb hits.

    Im hoping they feel the need to package the 40gn with MGS4 and a HDMI cable/DS3 in order to shift them for the 80gb..

    I can but dream.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,190 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    Gameplay just snet me an email saying the 80gb is out this friday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,190 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    In Game today. 80GB 400E.
    40GB plus 2 games from a selection of 5 was 450e.
    (games included, Ratchett and Clank, COD4) No mgs4 or GTA4.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 93 ✭✭eamonntheviking


    Do Game have it for sale today? I rang up Game in Cork today and they said it will be tomorrow morning before they'll be selling it.

    Looking for a bundle with GTA4, HMV seemed to have good offers during the week on 40gb with games, any word on any new offers with the 80gb?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,190 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    I saw their ads. It just said 399e for it on tis own. Didn't ask if they were in stock now so Im sure your info is correct. I really want it for that price with a game of my choice. Thats what Im holding out for. Can't wait until the 160gb comes out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 93 ✭✭eamonntheviking


    I've waited 2 months for this one, if I need more space I can buy another hdd down the road. I'd say you'll be hard pushed to get one for 400 with a game, I've just accepted the fact I'm going to pay what I need to be playing GTA tomorrow :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,190 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    You are probably right, I should check Zavvi, Smyths and HMV before I take the plunge tho. Shame those website don't keep this kind of stuff online.

    They did emphasise the limite stock nature of the 80gb. Thats a little weird IMO, cos iof they 40gb are nearly gone and theres only a few 80GB then are Sony really in a situation where they's essentially be out of PS3s in a markert until the 160gb?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 93 ✭✭eamonntheviking


    I think that the limited stock of 80gb's is in reference to the american 80gbs with backward compatibility, the new 80gbs are going to be the core pack with the 160gb being the elite ones.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 93 ✭✭eamonntheviking


    Just rang game there, ps3 80gb + gta 4 for €415, I'm not sure if that offer is just for gta or any new game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,190 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    Thats about as good as it gets I guess. Lemmie know if you go in if it is only gta4.

    Just picked mine up there with GTA4 for €415. You can also choose between battlefield:bad company, beijing summer olympics and one other game which I can't remember now. You can also get an extra dualshock 3 for €35 if you buy it at the same time as the ps3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,190 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    Thanks for the info. Really want MGS4 as my first game. I think next week. I assume you're happy then?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 488 ✭✭lad12


    Is that the 80 gig for €415?

    Does that also include a dualshock 3 controller?

    Anyone know what offers are Gamestopr or smyths doing?

    Just back from Gamestop. €410 for the 80 gig plus a game, from a list. Can't remember all the games, but the ones that stood out for me were Heavenly Sword, Rainbow Six: Vegas II and Resistence. Anyone recommend one of those games in particular?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,534 ✭✭✭Dman001


    Anyone hear of any cheap 40GB PS3s?

    out of those 3 alone id go for resistance, rainbow 6 2 is only ok imo, heavenly sword is a good game aswell but its very short.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    I went for Heavenly Sword, because my brother got Resistence (straight swap for 360 Devil May Cry 4).

    In total I paid €480 - €410 for the console w/Heavenly Sword, €60 for MGS4 and €10 for the HDMI cable (didn't come with :( )

    Gamestop didn't have any Blu-Rays I was particularly interested in, gonna take a trip to HMV today. Can't wait to see something on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,190 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    New Argos leaflet Ii got today:

    80GB with wither MotorStorm or Resistance for 400e

    Or 80GB with their mega accessories pack AND any new release game for 445e.

    Not half bad.

    The accessory pack has a vertical stand, HDMI cable, 3rd party controller (needs batteries).

    Not bad eh?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,190 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    HMV: 80GB+extra sixaxis and any new game for 449e
    OR 80GB and a platinum for 399e

    Smyths deals were poor. Include loyalty cards instead of games etc at prices higher than the 400e.
