Don't know if anyones aware of this but Sainsburys are running a 20% offer on all their consoles until Tuesday. I think it might finally be time to splash out on that PS3 Slim at £199!

Bloody hell! If it wasn't for the fact that I already have a Blu Ray player, then i'd definitely get it for that price! Problem is, i'd be spending £200 just for it to sit there in anticipation of GT5..

So, why aren't Elites, on their own, sans games, cheaper?

All I want is an Elite. No other games. Can't find them for less than £200, at which point I get 4 games with it.
So why can't you just get it with the games and take them to Game/Gamestation and trade them in for something you actually want? Or use them to buy an extra controller, or wireless adapter? Surely getting games for the same price means you can still do something with them if they aren't wanted? Just a thought.

Well since you asked me that question last month I don't think it's been removed so it is indeed still a MiniWorld featured car wink

Cheers

I would have bought an Xbox but I want the Blu-Ray player for the big HD TV so PS3 it is, unfortunately budgets are little tight at the moment.

Sounds very good particularly as my Mum still has her staff discount card, so another 10% off for me then!!!

Hehe, on the website special offers all the consoles are out of stock, except for the Hannah Montana PSP. Not even 20% off is enough to be seen in public with one of those smile

The sleeves are usually marked 'bundle copy' or similar and can't be traded.

That offers ended.

Now its just Elite £189.99 + two games for a tenner = total £199.99
One of the two games for a tenner can be the wireless entertainment pack though (extra controller + lego batman + Pure).

Are you sure?
I bought a Viva Pinata & FM2 bundle game from Gamestation 2nd hand, when I bought my 360.

Quite clearly marked 'Bundle Copy' in a yellow triangle on the front of the case.


ETA If I was feeling a little more flush this month (have been out buying other things! hehe) I'd be sorely tempted by a PS3 deal! smile
