So I'm looking to buy a PS3...

Colham

On Amazon I can get a 250g Slim with HDMI cable Uncharted 2 and Bioshock 2 all for €363. I dunno how long they take with delivery though.

Does anybody know how much the console deals are in GAME, Gamestop or HMV?

Captain Chaos

I've bought consoles from Amazon before, when the €:£ was good and it took 2-3 working days. Can't complain.

If I were you I would go for the deals on the 120Gb versions and save a few quid for a headset or another game. You can add a larger harddrive later if you really need to.

Uncharted 2 is class though, make sure you pick that up somewhere.

is there a reason why you cant goto the shops and check yourself ?

(not trying to be b1tchy but are you that lazy/busy that you cant phone or call into shops nearby and enquire instead of asking people online? )

ok...fair enough ...you are looking for a PS3 .... so read the reviews online and in magazines, check the shops, check online, find thr cheapest price ...remembering that if you buy local you have a place to return it.

Well I don't have anyway to get in town during the week so naturally I thought the PS3 forum could help me.

Maybe just give the guy a break! You don't have to reply!

If you have the option try going to Northern Ireland, otherwise I'd just pick the bundle with the games you want in a bricks and mortar. There isn't a huge variety on price so you'll save a few quid by getting the games you want with the console.

Gamestop had the ps3 120gb slim with Modern Warfare 2 for €300 around Christmas, if thats still going it's not a bad deal. Power city are meant to be good for price for the console alone and xtra vision generally have good bundles. Avoid smyths they overcharge imo.

I picked up 80GB PS3 for half in Brynes World of Wonder Navan. It was part of their closing down sale.

Lets get back on topic lads. I let these threads slide because it's hard to have a comprehensive thread on such a topic because deals change all the time. Plus we have a lot of people who work in stores that sell consoles, and commercial reps from online outlets as members on boards, so it's a useful place to ask such questions.

I'm more annoyed about back-seat mods then these threads, tbh

Thanks guys, I went with Amazon in the end!
