£284.99 is a good price, especially with the games/movies being being included… I would have thought they’d be retailer discounting on this price as well

So I was right to include a “250GB PS3 launching before Christmas” option in the E3 Bingo.

BLAST. Uncharted 2 Special Edition is pre-ordered, I have inFamous, and the Blu-Ray pack isn’t appealing (I own DK anyway)…
Personally, I want the FFXIII 250GB bundle coming out in Japan, but that won’t happen… – I think I’ll wait on an upgrade to a Slim.

good deals coming out , I’m sure people will start buying the slimline with greater added value.
Xmas has started…for some , I’m still very content with my 60 Gig.

That’s amazing. I’d certainly be tempted even more now to upgrade to the newer model.

I know IGN and the like are pretty generous with reviews but Uncharted 2 has scored 9.5%… damn you oh-tempting-bundle! Also, oh-mighty-TSA folk. I’m really looking forward to your review on it.

I already have one..
Well, I got a 120GB Slim, and just stuck the 250GB drive from my old fatty in, so I got a nice new 120GB to use as an external drive. In fact, adding things up, you could get the standard slim plus free game (I got Call of Juarez-BiB) for £250 + 250GB drive for £40, which while costing £5 more than the 250GB bundle, still leaves you with an extra 120GB drive. Thats still a pretty good deal, imo…

Yeah, but the £285 is only RRP, when you take retailer discounting into account this also workd out well

I’ll be sticking with by original 60gb as it’s still covered under warranty, but that’s a really good deal for anyone looking to upgrade. Should give the PS3 sales figures a nice Christmas boost!!

£250 at shopto seems good.
But I’ll stick with my 320gb PS3
