    12gb isn't enough to do much on PS3, updates alone would eat most off this memory

    Got one at Christmas from them it's a new boxed 12GB super slim. I installed a 80GB hard drive after playing a few games and updates.

    PS3 take a generic SATA hard drive that cost about £25 on Amazon for 500 GB+

    Hard drive cradle cost about £3

    Very easy job, about as easy as taking a battery off your phone and changing the sim card. No special tools needed

    Happened me a couple of years ago. Got a 2nd hand one to replace it as fixing it before (original 2007 model) had cost me €100 and wasn't gonna do it again.

    Anyway - ps4 now is around the €350 mark I think? Maybe less 2nd hand on done deal. I'd recommend it.

    ah crap... was in need of a BluRay player

    Apparently these are better than the PS4 for playing BluRays?

    <grittedTeeth>It's. Not. Memory. It's. Storage.</grittedTeeth>

    PS3 has had a number of amazing games and at that sorta price, it's worth a punt, but the storage will need upgrading.

    I've a spare 60gb, would you reckon that'd do or would it be better to get something bigger? I've seen second hand 320gb for around €20

    I'd get a bigger one, when you have a PlayStation Plus account giving you free games every month, you wouldn't be long filling up the storage.

    Yes, the PS3 is good for sky go. However, you need a sky go extra subscription to use on a games console. Normal sky go subscription will not work. If you have a multi room subscription you get sky go extra automatically. If not I think it's an extra E6 a month for sky go extra.

    Mind if I ask if you two got emails to confirm your orders? I didn't get anything and foolishly didn't write down my order number, assuming it would come by email.

    They are new. Comes with one controller. No hdmi lead. AV cable and Euro/AV connector plug included.
    I got two emails, one on Tuesday night after ordering (9.50 pm) and one on wednesday (2 pm) to say it was dispatched. I picked free delivery which was 2 to 3 days if I remember correctly. Arrived this morning (Thursday 11 am) so I am not sure how it could have been much faster if I had paid the extra for the quick delivery option!
    Thanks to the OP.
