hmmm thanks. I suppose it boils down to how much buying a 160gb and a bigger hdd will cost versus the 320gb at $427... Do I even need one? No. Still thinking about it? Yes. What's wrong with me? EDIT: JB's deal on the 320Gb is better - console, 3 games and hdmi for $449
Damn, the bloody thing doesnt come with a HDMI or component cable, what a joke!!. Whats the go with pricing of HDMI cables. I see some for $2, $10. and some for $40 - $50. Should i just buy an el cheapo?
Yes. They are no different. Just make sure they are version 1.3 or later in compliance so they handle HD bitstreaming and 3D.
Sony Center/store prices are even cheaper: 9183068 Introducing the new look 160GB PlayStation®3 $272.13 9183464 Introducing the new look 320GB PlayStation®3 $349.90 http://www.sony.com.au/productcategory/gam-ps3-console
Nice pricing right there. Wonder what shipping is? I got mine from Big W for $298. Suppose i ll buy some games soonish, just using it to stream movies from my pc at the moment.
160 gig now $349.95 at Sony's site so sale over lol. Im going to buy my son one tommorrow in Melbourne - best price location guys? Near Southland? Cheapest I can find is $298 at Big W.
Yep, Big W seems to be the cheapest place to buy the PS3 at the moment. Actually went there yesterday, and saw that deal as well. Seems to beat nearby competitors by a mile.
Sounds like most other companies have also dropped the price to 298 to avoid having to beat the price by 5% or whatever their in store rules are. I would guess its not going to get much cheaper than that.
Mind boggling compared to when the console was released at. Given the phat one I have here with a 40 gig drive which now appears to have a buggered blueray player, it will be easier and more cost effective to buy a new one. Sony want $200 odd dollars or was it $250 for me to drop it in (2 hour drive each way) to replace the blueray player. $48 gets me a brand new one with warranty. Good one Sony. This is for my son, if I had my way I would tell you to jam it.
Harvey Norman, Game and EB all had this for $297 or thereabouts at Knox last night. I might go buy one today so my brother can have his back.
