PS3 Bundle Preorder at DVD.CO.UK £539 and a possible £517.


£539.00

17°

FOUND BY: Usel 2 years, 9 months ago

Playstaton 3 60GB PS3 Bundle 1 (Resistance: Fall of Man, Formula One Championship Edition and HDMI Cable)

Two other bundles are available at the same price of £539.

Go through Quidco to get the price down to £517.

Not as cheap as Play but using quidco it works about to be cheaper as Play don't allow quidco on consoles. Also these preorders have only just started and PLay have been taking preorders for 8 months +

My preorder is number 3.

£539? Hmm...

Look at the price of all the "Bundle" items. £98 when bought seperately on DVD.co.uk. That's 2 games and an HDMI cable.

Add to that the £425 RRP for the 60GB PS3, DVD.co.uk are charging approx £441 for the console itself. Not really a hot deal. Though Quidco sweetens it a bit I guess, but comparitively...

The play price is £525 and it includes 3 games, not the paltry 2 and an HDMI cable DVD.co.uk are offering. Even though the DVD.co.uk deal is £8 cheaper with Quidco, you're losing out on a game for an HDMI cable you can get online for a couple of quid (not an official Sony one, but it makes no difference. Digital signal is digital signal)...

I agree with what you have written but I posted the deal incase people are trying to preorder the console and don't want to be on the end of a list.

Play probably have hundreds of preorders as they were taking preorders in June 2006. DVD.CO.UK have just started taking preorders today and it's very likely you will get a console on launch.

TBH I'd personally rather have a HDMI cable than Genji. The reviews for that game do not seem very good at all and I i'd need the HDMI cable anyway.

P.S I actually preordered a PS3 from DVD.co.uk in May 2006 and used Quidco. I received the Quidco payment and then DVD.co.uk cancelled all preorders due to PS3's uncertain release date. So I'm really getting this for £500.

I placed my order (back in May 2006), before the UK street price was
confirmed...

Think I'll cancel this after they sent me an email today!!!!!


RE: Playstation 3 Console order with DVD.CO.UK

Order reference : 15**********


We have now had our allocation of Sony PS3 consoles confirmed by Sony and
your order for a PS3 is covered by the allocation. Congratulations!

*** Please note the base package you ordered at £499.99 will not be reduced in price.

So they're charging £75 more than the RRP !!!!!!!!!!!
