Thinking About Getting A PS3 Slimline....

therokerroar · 07-10-2009 8:31pm #1

I've been an Xbox man all my gaming life, so go easy on me lads

Anyway, I've decided I want to get a PS3 and have to say, I'm quite attracted to the Slimline offer in Gamestop, which is basicall €330 for the console, a new game, and a controller. The free online is what's really attracting me towards a PS3 and all.

What are peoples thoughts and opinions on these Slimlines so far then? I'm very unknowlegable towards PS3's so any advice would be greatfully appreciated.

Just got one today myself and am loving it so far - still installing updates on the games I got with it though.

Game and HMV have better offers than gamestop. I'm picking mine up on Saturday, very very very excited.

HMV have a three game offer. I believe its inFamous, Fifa 10 but i don't know third one. I only glanced at it when passing.

I got mine in Newry - HMV - offer was better than anything I saw anywhere else - 250 GB with one new game ad two platinums for £285 (about €315)

Was in HMV in Dundrum SC today and they ahve a similar offer for €350. I think Game are doing the 250 gb with fifa 10 and one other for €350.

My old launch one died, i need one to tie me over until i get my refurb. Where's the best place for the basic one?, all i want is the console have 3 controllers already, i pretty much have all the games that will go on te deals and interest me.

It doesn't really matter, the RRP of just the basic console is the pretty much the same anywhere.

I must say i'm impressed by the slim, but i do miss my 4 USB ports.

Just do what I did and buy a usb hub

Well if I can get a 250GB in HMV Dublin for E350 with the same three game I'll buy there, it'll cost me E20 in petrol to get to Newry and 15 blips is hardly worth the drive.

fairly sure it was the same offer in both HMVs - we were buying other things too so it was worth our while travelling
