New PS3 Super Slim 500GB + 1 Game for €199.99 - Something I'm missing?

thomond2006

Hi,

I'm been shopping around for a PS3 and I found this option on the Gamestop website where you can buy a new 500GB console and 1 essential game for €199.99:

This option seems much cheaper than any other bundles on offer (typically they are €299 but with a more recently released game). I'm just wondering if there's something I'm missing here!

Thanks for your help!

Argos had 500gb PS3 with GTA5 and the Last of Us for €250 recently. Looks like you found a good deal.

Do you think the offer would be available in-store as well?

Usually the console deals are available in store also. I say usually because I have been caught out once before on them but they seem to honour them in store if they can.

Looks like a great deal OP, I'd be tempted!

Was in gamestop this morning and saw that deal on the wall, also a pretty good Xbox 360 deal aswell.

I'd imagine there will be some great bundles on offer, and the Ps3 has a seriously good back catalogue aswell as new titles coming, well worth a purchase.

I paid €140 or €150 for a second hand phat 320gb with a few games, only one decent title. Thats a bargain OP (remembering its a blu ray player, and PSN has some REALLY good games on there)

Is the Super Slim much smaller than the Slim?
I have a Slim, but I've shoved a 1TB HD into it. I'm assuming I could take it out and transfer it to the Super Slim without issues?
Space is a real premium in my entertainment centre since the new gen began :pac:

A little bit but not noticeably. It's not as wide, but a similar length. You load the disks from the top in the super slim, not the front.

Yeah, I looked at a few comparison pics just there.
It's not as small as I had imagined it would be.
Balls anyway :pac:

It's a good price for the console and game all the same (to stay on topic)

At that price, I'm not surprised.

Well the offer is back on today but with different essential games on offer as part of the deal. I didn't take any chances so I ordered the console + Uncharted 3 online!

Thanks for all the replies!
