PS3s & Cost

Joe 90 · 31-03-2008, 09:25

I've been considering a PS3 for a while now, and GT5 is swaying me, even if its not the full game yet.

Is there likely to be a price cut anytime soon?

I keep seeing deals, the most recent being the console for £240 so is this evidence that there might be some price cuts soon?
Obviously MS just gave all models a price cut, but will Sony do the same?
I don't want to go pay £320 for one, only to see a price cut soon after.

The MS cost cut was in response to the PS3 cut, so I don't think we'll see another price cut any time soon. You'd be better keeping your eye out on Hotukdeals to see if any good offers come up.

Not convinced over GT5 Prologue myself though, none of the reviews I've read so far have convinced me it's anything better than the driving games available on the 360, though I do expect the full GT5 to be amazing, simply because it has to be.

depends if malay systems take 110v or 240v
I know Japan and America take 110 and we take 240, but no idea about the rest of asia.

if they are 110v system you need a voltage converter thingymajiggy

The Everybody's golf series has always been excellent, it was pretty much the reason I bought a PSP and since I finished it I haven't used my PSP much, they games are just very well put together with lots of challenges and a lean towards fun rather than seriousness.

whats the trade in value on a DS?

not used my DS in too long so might just get rid - would save me some decent cash i imagine :/

I'd guess £30 or £40 for an old style DS, maybe less.
