Would a DualShock 3 bought in the US work on a UK PS3? I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't.

Like AbandonedTrolley already said, it'll work fine! :) I imported a DS3 from Canada (same time GTA IV came out) before they were released over here and it's working fine.

Anyone know any good, nationwide console bundle deals - 120GB or 250GB - I don't mind if there's a good deal. Asda seem to be winning out but just want to hear if anyone knows any really good deals. Got the cash waiting since selling my Xbox 360 :)

Might I take a guess it's due to GT5?

If so you might be interested in this. Certainly not the cheapest deal around but just posting in case you wanted the game.

I posted that right above him :p

No no.. not due to GT5. Just all of my friends have bought PS3's and I was hanging on in there with an Xbox - decided I'd had enough and was a good excuse to consolidate a console and standalone bluray player (BDP-S550) into just one console :)

GT5 is a convenient bonus though :)

Best deal so far seems to be Asda who are doing the 120GB slim and choice of one title from a few reasonable games at ?245. Though the deal posted on the previous page of the Asda deal looks excellent.. will be heading to a local Asda in the next night or two to see what's what :)

In that case I've done a quick look around and found these:

If you spend ?15 more you can get the 250GB slim

And I've found these bundles...

I'll keep looking for something better/cheaper.

Yeah prices might come down in a bit, 160GB is replacing 120GB, probably be left over 120GB stock nearer the middle of next month.

The Asda deal on the last page was for fatties lol. I'd recommend a Slim though Chicane.

If you don't mind using Quidco, you could get a 250GB from Tesco for ?195.

Use Quidco for 8% off and then Tesco's voucher for another 15%: FTSL15-1

Good find!!

Just borrow some games from your mates to start with :p

Doesn't seem you can use the FTSL15-1 code for ordering a console. Tesco Entertainment only sell media, not consoles, and that code only works on Tesco Entertainment. Just tried it on Tesco Direct - no dice :(

Having done a bit of shopping round the prices are not only REALLY fixed in virtually every store, there seems to be a shortage of 250GB consoles.. Sony have obviously been draining the supply of these ready to release the 320GB. Not a big deal - I'm only after the 120GB anyway but interesting to note.

Tried Blockbuster and Sainsburys near me at lunch time - Blockbuster the 120GB was 229.99 with 1 months free rentals (woopee). Sainsburys was 229.99 for the console or 249.99 with either Blur or Toy Story 3. My intention was to get Toy Story 3 then go p/x it in at Blockbuster but they had no copies left, wouldn't offer me an alternative title and I didn't really want Blur so I walked away.

Asda seemed to have good deals on when I looked on the weekend so I guess I'll have to go to them!

Ended up going to my local Sainsburys on the way in to work, who could do the PS3 120GB + Toy Story 3 bundle. Whilst waiting for them to bring the console I saw Arkham Asylum for ?12 so I bagged that.. and then at the checkout the lady said my Nectar card had ?20 on it which I could use if I wanted.. so got PS3 120GB + Toy Story 3 + Arkham Asylum for ?241. All worked out well in the end. Now going to be a LONG day before I can get home and fire it up :(

Nice deal, my mum likes to save up nectar points and buy games from sainsburys, then trades them into game to buy others, lol.

Only recently got round to playing batman, was awesome, I hear toy story is surpringly good fun too, don't forget to make a free psn account and give us your name.

Anyone know the cheapest place to buy a DUALSHOCK 3 controller? I looked around on Cheap Arse Gamer, and Frugal Gaming, but no luck there.

I just got an email from AxelMusic, and they're doing them in 5 different colours all for ?29.20 each + ?2.67 shipping, so ?31.87.

There's Ceramic White, Black, Deep Red, Metallic Blue, and Satin Silver. I'm tempted to get the Metallic Blue one, but is anyone selling them cheaper? It doesn't have to be that colour, any one will do.

    • Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge by Usama Jawad In June 2025, Microsoft began rolling out AI-powered history search functionality with Edge 138. The idea was simple: allow customers to use natural language phrases and synonyms to find their desired history items rather than matching keywords exactly. Although the company had already rolled out this capability in a phased manner, it has now decided to cancel it. In an update on its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has announced that it has decided not to move forward with AI-powered history search. The company has not detailed the exact reasoning behind this move, but it has apologized to customers for the inconvenience. The move is rather interesting as it seemingly could have improved user productivity. Edge users wouldn't have to worry about typos or exact keywords, and just focus on what they were trying to locate in their browser history. Microsoft had also assured users that an on-device AI model would be leveraged for this functionality, and no data would be sent to the cloud. IT admins also had the ability to control its availability through the EdgeHistoryAISearchEnabled policy. When the feature began rolling out last year, many of our readers called it creepy, noting that they couldn't trust Microsoft to keep their data on their device. Others also questioned its usefulness, saying that it's simply a way for Microsoft to insert more AI bloat into its products. Although the Redmond tech giant had stated that it will be more mindful about surfacing Copilot features in Windows 11 apps, we later discussed how this is mostly a rebranding exercise rather than an actual axing of AI functionalities. Indeed, a Microsoft executive later emphasized how they want to reshape Windows for the agentic AI era. That said, it does seem like at least AI-powered Edge history search isn't a part of that vision.

      Not likely, of course, that we will see routine citizenship checks as they only involve compliance with existing federal voting laws already on the books for decades. This seems a non-issue entirely. Only fools would have the government rush headlong into an AI program few can understand or predict, or even debug...
