If I wanted LBP game that's a great deal, but I'm really using our need for a blu-ray player as an excuse to get a PS3. So cheaper is better, no extra bits needed. I don't even need the 80Gb version but current deals make buying the 40/60Gb seem a little pointless.

Our local Gamestation flog 2nd hand units for a good price so i'd mebbe try them or 'Game'.

As far as i know the PS3 hardware is pretty reliable and has a low failure rate, not like the 360. And it makes a great Blu-Ray player if thats all you want it for - great quality and quiet,

I don't reckon the JL offer is as good, no games or anything.

But I did find this page, updated regularly, in case it helps anyone. Currently ShopTo.net have it for £260 which seems damn good value. We got our Wii there last year and it was very good service.

2nd-hand is an option but I'd rather have the year's warranty as consoles do sometimes have faults.

Just now it's john lewis at £280

Or buy one 2nd hand (I did, 40GB - cost 200, unopened) chucked a big HDD in it, easy as pie and away you go.

Decent PS3 Deal?

Been toying with the idea of getting a PS3 instead of a blu-ray player. Amazon currently have the 80Gb version on offer: for £300 you get an 80Gb PS3, 2 games and an HDMI cable. That strikes me as pretty decent based on what prices Kelkoo is coming up with for even the 40Gb version.

Anyone up to date with these things?
