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 :)

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      Surprise Execs are dumb. I hope the rehired engineers said were not coming back until we get 2x our salary.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.

      Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!

      In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
