    You should be able to get one or two of those games with the ps3 for 400e, I want two specific games with mine so I am going to try and wrangle them out of game shops when they are not busy-I'd imagine if a consumer is ever going to have a little bit of extra leverage with these things it is now. Apart from that theres little else anyone knows for sure regarding a price cut.

    March is rumoured but Id rather spend an extra 100e and have it for xmas.

    Make your kid get an 80gb PS3 as well, Id would imagine he has no serious use for a 160gb, although I could be wrong.

    can u put a usb hub into the ps3 since it only has 2 usb ports


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,785 ✭✭✭eddhorse


    My PS3 has 4 USB ports.

    I don't think you need 160GB for a ten year old. And if he is "downloading" stuff that big then I'd be worried.
    You can always upgrade the hard drive yourself later on.
    I have a 320GB hard drive in mine.

    Game saves and profiles etc wont total 80GB

    Assassin's Creed is 15s by the way, and Resistance 2 is 18s. AC is pretty graphic on the killing front.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19 coolgamer10


    if u upgrade the hard drive my son will loose all his memory on the 80gb
    so thats y he wants to get the 160gb ..........my son is made for the battle field so wats the best fighting and racing and adveture games

    You sure this isn't for you!

    Was up in Newry Friday and got the following from HMV in the Quays:

    PS3 80GB Console
    Controller
    I Am Legend Blu-ray
    Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
    Quantum of Solace
    Blu-ray Remote Control

    £299 = €345

    Best deal I could find on the day.

    That is exactly what I was thinking.

    OP just go up North and get the console, you can reserve online in Argos and the likes. If you spend over £50 in Argos you get £5 gift card, over £100 you get a £10. What you could do if they don't have deals is go up to the counter twice, the first time with your over £100 spend, get the card, then go up and get the games with a further £10 off. Myself and my girlfriend did that last week (for other purchases).

    Great stuff. Would you like anyone here to googlemap the address of the store for you while were here?

    Hehs.

    You've been incredibly rude throughout this thread by the way. Can't blame me for thinking it was a joke.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 772 ✭✭✭floydmoon1


    Just read this whole thread for the first time.

    It is quite funny.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 484 ✭✭bcirl03


    hi do you know the way you said controller is that an extra controller
    thanks

    Apologies, its the controller you get with the PS3, the PS3 was a movie pack btw and I could have chosen Batman Begins or 300.

    Telephone number for HMV in Newry is: 048 3025 3690, they couldn't do enough when I rang, very helpful on the day also.

    :eek: Dear jeebus this thread took a turn!
    Your son will no way use up the 80gb hard drive. Really easy to charge the HD one screw, you may have to format it. If you have a external HD drive you'll be ok.

    You speak keeps changing from text speak to normal sppech. So its obviously not just you using the account. For your son to use the amount of downloading he is planning he will need a credit card.

    Might want to keep an eye on him/your internet sub if he is using it that much, you wont be long using up your limit!

    And no offence but he must be spoilt if your getting so angry here. The boardies are just trying to help you.
    You have alot of questions on deals when the easiest thing to do is pick up the phone and ring the shops. Most shops will have similar deals on at the moment. But the newry deal is the best. And remember if he is 10 the next gen games can be very graphic and maybe you might want to take notice of the rating's they are given.:rolleyes:

    (sorry back seat modding a little!:P)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30 Number one


    I dont believe you that your son is ten. I think this is him;


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 14,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭monument


    Don't have the time to deal with this at the moment, so, I'm just locking it... if another mod was to sort it out please do so.
