I'm leaning towards http://www.currys.co.uk:80/martprd/store/c...p;sm=1&tm=0 at the mo, any better suggestions?

Well as that is out of stock at the moment and you say you will use for movies also. Maybe consider http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/...es/Product.html ?20 more but you can pick up LBP pretty cheap now anyway. Plus has the 250 gig drive in it for storing movie files too.

Yeah I saw that too but as it was out of stock didn't really want to post it. Certainly worth a try though (Y)

Yeah I ended up getting one today; ?249, from currys for 120 gigger and two games. They had none of the

games suppose to be on the offer, and wouldn't let me get any other equal priced games. The girl serving me said I could either have two games

whose total comes to ?40 ( yes I was laughing too) or I could get the console now and they'd let me know when the other games are in. Shoddy as feck. I had a word with the manager but he wouldn't budge either, then he found a copy of the terrible Endwar and I couldn't be bothered anymore, so I just took that got saints row 2 waiting for me when they get it. Then I bought littlebigplanet on the way home. Which is better than I expected, endwar isn't even going near the console.

When you look at the games I got it looks like a poor deal, but I'm not all that bothered tbh, I'll get rid of games if I don't like them and i just really wanted to get one today.

End War + Official Sony BT Headset - ?12.95 @ shopto.net

Worth it for the headset alone.

Crap I almost want to buy that just cause it's such a good deal. I have the headset though through Socom.

Absolute steal!

Got a sweet deal here: Guitar Hero: Van Halen for just ?19.98! The game's still not out for three weeks, so that's a brilliant deal (officially; I know all the Yanks that pre-order Guitar Hero 5 got it for free straight away)! I've ordered the 360 version.

Right guys, I am in need of a PS3. God of War 3 is coming out soon ya'know.

What is the currently the best deal? I would prefer a slim one, hard drive size doesn't matter - because I can always rip out the old one and replace it with one of my own 1TB hdds right? Also, does the PS3 comes bundle with a HDMI lead?

Cheers for any info/links/replies.

The hard drive size is 2.5 (laptop) so this is limited currently to 640gig i beleive... I'm not aware of any 1TB drives that size yet.

As for the deal you are after, no PS3's don't come with a HDMI cable but that shouldn't be a deal breaker as they can be picked up fairly cheaply £5-10 or even get the bluray starter kit from somewhere like play.com that includes a blu-ray, Sony HDMI lead and the Blu ray remote control :) £33 with Black Hawk Down here.

As for what deal to pick on the console, don't beleive there are many bundles kicking about at the moment unfortunately, maybe there will be closer to some big name releases ie Heavy Rain or GOW3 :) Also FF13 will no doubt bring out a couple of offers. So maybe wait on making the pruchase?

I was just using a 1TB as an example. But I could do that right? Rip out the old hard drive and replace it with a 2.5" HDD of my liking (ie, this one)?

Nah it isn't a deal-breaker at all. Just be nice of them that's all. But thanks for that link, I will definitely check it out.

Gutted, to be honest I don't really have an interest in the FF series. And I am only buying a PS3 for GOWIII. I'll have a look round teh webs and see what I can find. Cheers for your help Trolley (Y)

Sadly not that one no. The PS3's hard drive bay height is 9.5mm that drive is 12.5mm, but yes any 9.5mm height 2.5" SATA drive should work in it

I know it may seem that i'm being pedantic, but better to give you the details than go buy and realise it doesn't fit :)

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years

      Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
