80GB PS3 released in UK!?

Question

Hey guys I just heard from a mate that an 80GB PS3 has released in the UK for £299... I will be getting it tomorrow but there are a few things I just wanna know...

*Since the release will it be available in every game shop in the UK "always be in stock?"

*When you buy the console do you get a free game or do you have to pay extra?

I know about the specs of this new 80GB core model so that don't really need explaining..

I just need to know from the two points I made..

(10 points guaranteed for clear answer sticking to question)

Answer 1

The console won't always be in stock. Depending on how popular the new model is, it could sell quite fast but at the same time it could also sell slow since it's £300 and people may already have one. Plus if you are living near a town centre, chances are several stores have them in stock so there can be various places to get them even if one store sells out.

If you get a game depends on the store. Most wouldn't give you a game for free unless you buy a bundle, however official bundles (that come with a free game) aren't common but stores like GAME would do their own custom bundles and you could probably get a game (out of a limit selection) for about £310, with bundles of two games for about £330.

But at times it is possible to get a free game, because at times stores have something that don't sell well so try giving it away for free as an incentive.

Answer 2

It'll stay in stock, it's not a nintendo wii so there isn't that much demand in comparison to what their factories can produce.

It won't come with a free game. £300 for the console is a good price, stand alone blu-ray players can cost almost that so to get one with a hard drive and 7 processors that plays games is a good deal.

Answer 3

you can get a 80GB ps3 with resistance fall of man or motorstorm for £300 in argos

Answer 5

It should be in stock in every major game or entertainment shop. but it might go out of stock every few weeks. So you might want to preorder right now so you are guaranteed a reserved Playstation 3 for when it comes out.

I don't think it will come with a game if you preorder but when it comes out you will be able to buy bundles, which might come with an extra controller or two games. But you have to pay extra but will give you a discount from what it would cost if you bought it seperately.

I got a deal when i bought a forty gig (worth 299) , gran turismo 5 (worth 20), and a game of my choice (worth 40) which cost me only 325 quid. thats what you will get. But you will get many different shapes and sizes of bundles.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

the should have it in stock if not you could ask when theyll have it ask them to reserve one for you.

depends on what shop you buy from, they might come as bundles,in which case youll get free games for extra cost, if not then youl most likely get a dated game unless there doing specials.

Answer 7

(1). Probably. Although the PS3 is a very good console, Sony took too long in releasing it in the UK and lost a of business, as there still are too few games available compared with the Xbox 360.

(2). No, For an extra £10 (£309.99) you can get 1 game from GAME or PLAY.com

Best price £294.97 Tesco (a fiver is still a fiver)
