    Hey guys,

    Just wondering if anyone would know the best/cheapest place to get a PS3, ideally new. I was looking at Amazon and was wondering if buying online rather than a store would be a safe option.

    You can generally get good deals in store with bundles etc!! Plus think of it this way if there's a problem with console if u buy in local store they will replace it there and then, try returning to a site believe me I was left without a console for 3 weeks not fun

    If u buy in hmv or GameStop u should get a decent price tbh

    I think the HMV bundle was this

    1. PS3 - Slim / Super Slim - you decide based on stock though
    2. HDMI cable
    3. Games - Uncharted 3 + Forza + FIFA13

    For 299 this is a great deal and if I didn't already have the slim I would be getting one for this price.

    Play.com have the new 500GB Super Slim with Gran Turismo 5 Academy Edition and Uncharted 3 for £199.99 today only. Works out at just under €250 :) just ordered there. You'd have to get it delivered to a northern address to get it for that price though. It's €289.99 in Euro price which is still fairly decent anyway.

    Anyone know if that bundle deal is still on in HMV? Is that the best deal available currently?

    Has anyone has ever ordered a console from Amazon? The cheapest PS3 I can buy locally is €320. I just want a single console but there only seem to bundles and all that.

    So I was looking on Amazon and saw the 12GB super slim console for £150 (€199), seems a good deal to me. Just looking for opinions on Amazon or any other online retailers.

    Hmmm... Thinking of getting a pre-owned 160Gb PS3 from CEX. Don't like the new slimlines at all.
