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 :)

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • 4TB TEAMGROUP MP44Q, 2TB T-Force G50, and 2TB WD My Passport SSDs drop to great prices

      By ryansurfer98 · Posted

      Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • Hands on with iFlyTek AINote 2 E-Ink tablet: insanely thin and smart

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.

      These are not "great" prices... just "less awful". Apparently "Those who forget the past are doomed to pay higher prices and think they've won."
