Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 (updated 14/10/09) Post by: Lem on October 14, 2009, 11:46:40 AM The bigger hard drives help if you have a playtv. I still haven't got round to upgrading my hard drive so i think it can only buffer up to an hour or so before its full due to the demos and mandatory installs I've got on there.
If i was one to actually record shows rather than use my computer to gain them through other means the ps3 hard drive would fill up real fast.

Dick Smith offer PS3 250GB with Uncharted 2 + H.A.W.X + Littlebigplanet for $600. I went there and you could also get the same deal but with resistance 2 instead of littlebigplanet. Worth the money to me. Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 (updated 16/10/09) Post by: Adrian on October 21, 2009, 05:28:21 PM The Good Guys catalogue has 120gb ps3 bundle that comes with HDMI and assassins creed + splinter cell. I am not sure if it comes with both but you may have to ring them up to find out.
Total price is $498. According to the good guys advertisements, if you pay cash they will "Slash the price" Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 (updated 16/10/09) Post by: Damian on October 27, 2009, 08:23:43 AM BIG W now not a bad deal PS3 slim line 120GB and Uncharted 2 for $498. So people wanting to save $100 on the 250GB deal with COD and Uncharted at ebgames, maybe not a bad option?

I'm particularly interested in a bundle deal that I can get Myer to price match, since I have a $120 voucher with them (and possibly the chance to earn MyerOne points - they're paying a bonus specifically for the PS3. Can't remember the exact amount, but I think it was double points). If only Myer would match CotD! New JB Hifi bundles: http://www.jbhifi.com.au/games/sony/play-station/ps3/ Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: Inveigle on November 25, 2009, 11:43:08 PM I was going to say heads up to DSE's new deal from 2/12/09, but JB Hifi's deal 1-ups it easily.
DSE's deal is 250GB PS3 Console and PlayTV for $588. However heads up for any Woolworths employees, there's also a Staff Day on 10/12/09, so that extra discount may sway decisions. Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: InitialDRulz on December 07, 2009, 01:19:25 PM Just a quick heads up.
EBGames have updated their promotion with their 250gb PS3. Option 1: 250gb PS3, Play TV + Need for Speed Undercover + Battlefield Bad Company Option 2: 250gb PS3, Need for Speed Undercover + Battlefield Bad Company + Assassin's Creed 2 Option 3: 250gb PS3, Need for Speed Undercover + Battlefield Bad Company + Uncharted 2 Source: i work there Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: zzyss on December 07, 2009, 03:32:12 PM Any reason why the Myer 250GB bundle isn't listed?

I have been watching for a couple of weeks now.
Anyone bought from WOW? Looks to be the cheapest console-only deal I have seen: https://shop.1wow.com.au/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=179&idproduct=5228 - $398 + delivery. Doesn't say "PS3 Slim" like the other deals on the site, but has the same picture and lists it as a 120GB HD. Merry Christmas. Lofgren edit: noticed the same deal was posted by Anthony in September (but still isn't in the main list?) Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: jacktheripper on December 25, 2009, 04:27:25 PM 120GB PS3 Slim is $349.95 ($364.90 inc shipping) after Paypal cashback at Catch of the Day today only..

Or for that matter, any place that has the 250GB bundle with PlayTV anywhere? Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: lofgren on December 31, 2009, 08:37:04 AM 120GB PS3 Slim is $349.95 ($364.90 inc shipping) after Paypal cashback at Catch of the Day today only.. http://catchoftheday.com.au/ (http://catchoftheday.com.au/) Hey, thanks for posting ;) I went with this after walking around Eastland on boxing day and discovering that the bundle deals before Christmas had all dissolved. the new deals out there seem to be reduced console prices and or only crumby games. The COTD deal was still valid up until yesterday by the way.. ..and for those wondering if catchoftheday is legit - mine arrived in pristine condition yesterday. Very happy - and so is the wife after hours of giggling over Little Big Planet :) Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: vzey on January 29, 2010, 11:54:03 AM Anyone know where to get a 250gig PS3 slim with PlayTV bundle in Melbourne? (hopefully for under $600?)
Thanks! Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: zzyss on February 02, 2010, 11:35:10 AM It's a bit sad that only, like, 2 of the offers in the OP are still valid...
Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: ps3slim250gb on February 26, 2010, 11:07:34 PM Hi all ecogamers, I first want to let everyone know I much I wanted a PS3 slim console, since they first came out for sale many years ago, but simple fact was due to the price I could never afford one.
And since Sony introduced the slim model enough was enough I had to have one, so it was from around December 2009 I had been starting to look at prices from Good guys, Kmart, Dse ect…. These prices were still I little too high, I was determined to buy the best deal possible. It was around xmas time I had gone away for the holidays, when I retuned I found that on December 25 catch of the day were selling PS3 slim120gb for 349.00 plus a small fee for shipping, that was a special offer with PayPal I was so pissed that I missed out The jb catalogue had come out and they had I thought some really good deals, So it was around January that I would call my friend who worked at Jb I called him up went to him next time he was working to get deal on a PS3 slim. The best price he could do the 120 GB was from 467.00 to 460.00 I thought 7 dollars off was a joke. A month or so passed and after checking prices on eBay.au completed listings I could see that the play TV unit was selling for around 140.00. Since in the shops the cheapest I could find it for was 169.00 and that was from Jb, So I checked an offer that EB games was having they were selling the 250 GB Slim with a play TV unit, Avatar game and a HDMI cable for 599.00 I knew what I would do buy it and sell the play TV and the Avatar game on ebay.au I ending up selling the play TV for 140.50 and the game for 65.00, shipping in total was 14.10. So what I ended up with was a PS3 250GB Slim console with 1.3B HDMI cable for 407.60. I then went to Kmart and brought grand theft auto 4 (platinum) for 49.00. Since then I have found the play TV unit as cheap as 129.00 I think I got a pretty good deal. Apart from being deprived from a PS3 fro so long. Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: hotmustardsauce on February 27, 2010, 09:04:50 AM You couldve got GTA4 online for about $30 delivered.
Never ever buy games in Australian retailers unless they are having a crazy sale or you are crazy desperate. Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: ps3slim250gb on February 27, 2010, 10:11:45 PM It was around two or three day before a brought my console and started selling the stuff on eBay I found grand theft auto 4 on cdwow for 38.95 with free delivery, I had checked almost every online store as well as the retailers, it was cheap.
It close to being just over a week and they sent me this lettet CDWOW! ORDER CANCELLATION Dear xxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx, Thank you for placing your order with us here at CD WOW! We are writing to you regarding your order #453973949 for Grand Theft Auto IV (Platinum) (Playstation 3) (Product code: 10519673) Unfortunately despite our very best efforts we are unable to get further stock of this item from our supplier.

We hope you will accept our apologies for any inconvenience that this has caused. Thank you for shopping with CD WOW! Kind regards CD WOW! Customer Service support@cd-wow.com I was a little upset but receiving a refund it didn’t bother me too much.

Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: ph3ng on March 28, 2010, 10:15:22 AM Anyone got the best price for a Slim model in Melbourne?
Thank you. Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: LlamaLlamaLamp on May 31, 2010, 04:16:04 PM Hmm, me thinks this needs a good updating.
Also, EB doesn't price match console bundles anymore, however Dick Smiths new price match policy is to beat any other price. Although there is nothing that specifically mentions it, they can beat it by 10%. Just tell the salesperson you know about the 10% pricematch. Heres some to start with: $599 - 250GB PS3 + PlayTV + FIFA10 @ DSE $564 - 250GB PS3 + FIFA10 (Official bundle) @ DSE $559 - 250GB PS3 + God of War III Collectors Edition @ GAME $436 - 120GB PS3 @ GAME $469 - 120GB PS3 @ JB HiFi $599 - 250GB PS3 + Red Dead Redemption + God of War III @ EB $499 - 120GB PS3 + GTA IV + Assassins Creed @ EB $599 - 250GB PS3 + Red Dead Redemption + PlayTV @ EB Title: Re: Console Price List - PS3 Post by: One Shot on September 10, 2010, 03:12:15 PM The forum has died i need to get a new ps3 and like to compare the prices
