SoupyNorman

Got mine 2days ago in Xtra-Vision.


80g PS3
Need For Speed Undercover
300 BluRay
BluRay Remote

€409.99


It came to €417 priced on Amazon.

noodler

I hear LBP and PES2009 for 400e in Game.

Zonda999

I think its about time we had a sticky for offers on the ps3. People could post in it whenever they see a good offer so prospective buyers on boards know where to look instead of creating a new thread every time

noodler

I couldn't agree more.
Hmm theres 4 games I really want with a new ps3 which are MGS4, pES2009, Valkria Chronicles and Fallout 3.

I really wanna hold out for a bundle that lets me get two of the four.

guil

DonalN

excellent timing for this post. I'm currently trying to convince myself to buy one. Hoping for some good offers in Jan sales.

Zigmund

I don't know whether to wait until January or not to buy one. I doubt there'd be much lower offers on.

Can a PS3 bought in america work here? I'm contemplating getting one for the blu ray player..and well just to have another console :P

But im heading america in the summer and might hold off till I go there, with the hope that also there is a few more titles to entise me.

But there does seem to be some cracking offers around this country lately.

Gamestop is possibly the worst shop out there price(value)wise, I'm sure there's a few good deals in HMV!

Well said. Gamestop have taken the crown for the highest pricing on games and the lousiest trade in prices, e.g. I got Resistance 2 in HMV for €52.99, Gamestop wanted €65.99. I also recently went to them to trade in 10 dvds, most of which were released in the past 3 months and they offered me €10 for the lot. One of them was on sale in their second hand section for €15 when they were offering me €1 for my copy of the same DVD. Thats some mark up for them.

Never thought I'd see the day when HMV are offering some of the best, if not the best deals in town!

+1 - I only got my PS3 a couple of weeks ago and the best deal for me was in HMV: 80GB with Dead Space and Motorstorm 2 for €399 (it was only a weekly deal, but they still have other similar ones). Gamestop was by far the worse from the various stores I looked at...

How is Zavvi doing in comparison? I'm also looking into buying a PS3 sometime in January.

Zavvi are going under I bet, their main supplier is woolworths in uk which has gone bust.

Zavvi are currently contacting all customers that have pre-ordered anything, music, dvd and games to let them know their orders wont be filled.

I have also noticed alot of " out of stock" signs around their store, and alot of worried places.

Virign ( pre zavvi) was doomed the minute hmv came into this country, so why they thought a name change would make it any better, meh.

bought a ps3 from shopto.net
was surprised that i could buy from them as they are english

80gb with little big planet, 300 blu ray & blu ray remote all for £283.99 & £12 odd delivery to ireland. bought it in sterling of course. total charged on my visa after currency conversion was 347 euro!

bought it sunday night & to my great surprise it arrived at my door 10am tuesday morning - that was F-N quick!

impressed so far with the ps3. like the way you can copy files to the hard drive, wish i could do this with my 360.

Games are region free, but if you want the bluray player it may be worthwhile checking if movies are region locked.

Most movies aren't. You can check which are and which are not here.

Anyone know if the PS3 deals on the UK Game site are the same over here?

PS3 Bundles

Was in 'toys r us' in Lisburn yesterday, they have great deals on PS3. Their exchange rate yesterday was .87. Although web site says not in stock might be worth ringing them.

http://www.toysrus.co.uk/index.jsf?fh_location=%2f%2ftrus%2fen_GB%2fcategories%3c%7btrus_trus%7d%2fitemtype%3dproduct%2fcategories%3c%7btrus_trus_toysrus_truvideogames%7d%2fformat_format%3e%7bplaystation203%7d%2fcategories%3c%7btrus_trus_toysrus_truvideogames_truvideogamesbundlesconsoles%7d&fh_reftheme=promo_255&fh_refview=lister



Then went next door into Argos and picked up spare controller for €38.92!! Their exchange rate was .88 yesterday.

Argos didn't have the dvd blu-ray control in stock so ordered it last night online for €19.99 and also the HDMI cable for €30.99 (not too well up on cables but as its sony hope its ok).

Ok so really girlie question but buying himself one for xmas, and he is a PES man rather then a Fifa....any bundles out there with PES?

Also 80gb and 160......take it 80gb is ok to buy for him??

Dagon

80gig should be fine Sarah.

I know there are Fifa bundles, but not sure about PES.

As for buying him a PS3 for xmas; well my girlfriend wanted to buy me a PS3 last year but when I found out I stopped her in her tracks - it's way too expensive and she would have been broke after it! (of course I would have loved it as a gift, but that's not the point).

Niska

Was passing Zavvi i the Crescent and they've seeme dto have cut the prices of all their consoles: the PS3 was €350, but don't think there were any bundles...

(X359, BTW, was 150, 200 and 250 for 0/60/Elite)

Will you go out with me

Direct linking to the sonystyle website doesn't work, so here goes:

Go to the sonystyle UK home website:

https://www.sonystyle.co.uk

Search for playstation 3 in the search box in the top right hand corner.

40GB PS3
price: £249.00 (€268, xe.com)

80GB PS3 with Little Big Planet
price: £289.00 (€311, xe.com)

Prices include vat and both are in stock.

Conor108

80GB
Resistance 2 (or others)
Dark Knight Blu-Ray
HDMI Cable

€400

€270 for a PS3 is very tempting. I think i'll wait it out until the Sterling gets even closer to the €1 mark.

www.sonystyle.co.uk only seems to ship to the UK.

I'm pretty sure they say they deliver to ROI too.

Hmm. On the checkout page it says "This website ships only to Great Britain" and Great Britain is hardcoded as delivery country. Where did you see that Sony delivers to the ROI? Would be great if they did.

lego

I got my brother to buy it (he lives in London). Then he sent it back to Ireland.

Kinda strange that the sonystyle UK website doesn't ship to Ireland. If you buy from the sonystyle Ireland website they ship your order from the same warehouse in the UK.

They have free shipping until December 31st, but only within the UK.

wilford

I'm getting one in the next couple of days Game.co.uk have some great bundles at the moment,anyone been up north lately?hate to drive up and find there out of stock!!

Dman001

Actually they don't exactly say they deliver to Ireland but I saw this on their help page and it implies that they do deliver to Ireland.

"Delivered next day after dispatch
(Service not available for all postcodes in UK and IE. Please refer to the UPS site to check if your postcode is covered)"

No_Deal

lads im looking to get one in the next few days.

was hoping if i ordered one online in the next day or so it would be delivered by christmas.


however that doesnt seem to be the problem,both play.com and game have some tasty bundles on offer on their website and with the current exchange rates can make a nice saving.

problem is neither seem to ship to ROI.

game tell me when i go to the checkout that they dont deliver packages over 1kg and to remove the hardware or else choose a UK delivery address.

play.com say they only deliver to UK addresses when you click on one of their bundles.



where do people buy hardware/consoles etc online that deliver/based in ireland?




thanks.

Sweet. Just the games I was looking for. Anyone know if this offer is available in Dublin as well?

TestTransmission

I saw this advertised in Argos in Limerick.
One ad says PS3 with the 3 free games,another smaller ad says you can pick any of the 3 games when you buy a PS3 so it might be just a typo or just some clever marketing

There is a new yellowish sale sheet which says on the back it is valid between Dec 17-24, the white offers are older
