    Try http://www.videogamesplus.ca/ they have the 80GB PS3 for 265 euro, not sure how much P&P is with them but I have ordered games from them and they're very good

    That is seriously cheap.

    Cheap indeed but you definitely have to factor in the drawbacks.As far as i can see, they are:

    Power supply problems.Some sort of converter will be needed.How much would that be??

    Blu-rays bought here will not play and there is no multiregion hack available yet afaik

    You can get an 80gb here for 400e but that should include a new game like fifa 08.That brings the cost down to about 350e straight away.That 265e does not include any game.It also excludes the delivery charge and the website says its dhl express only, which i would think will be more than 20e anyway.I really dont think its worth it overall

    Power is no problem as their is a normal 3 prong power socket at back of PS3...

    It's pointless buying BLU-RAY here as their so overpriced... amazon.com has dirt cheap blu rays and plenty of them are region free, so will work on Irish PS3!

    Shipping is 130 canadian dollars which puts the PS 3 up to 358 approx.

    Remember it won't play PAL DVDs which I presume most people have loads of.

    I imagine you'd have to factor in custom charges too.
