Sony PS3 Slim 250Gb + Uncharted 2 + Need for Speed Shift + 1 months rental INSTORE £284.99 @ Blockbusters


£284.99

308°

FOUND BY: futures 3 weeks, 2 hours ago

Blockbusters have the PS3 Slim + Uncharted 2 + Another EA game from the a small list ( I chose NFS ) + 1 months rental for £284.99. This was instore only.

I was ringing around loads of Sainsburys to try and get the 279 deal from them but I could never get anywhere with any stock. I drove to 3 to find they all had bits but no sets, always one bit missing. Went into blockbusters saw this deal and the guy arranged for all the bits to come to store from other places. Great service.

Ok its £5 more but you get 1 months free rental as well, although its only 1 game at a time though. The nice thing about this is that your rentals don't have to start then and there, they're doing a voucher that allows the 1 month period to start at any point up until Jan something. This is to enable them to sell the ps3 as an xmas gift now. The voucher is tied to a certain blockbuster account though.

So I'm a proud owner of a new PS3 without all the hassle of the sainsburys plus 1 month rentals for a fiver, nice.

Ok so no Nectar but hey. Happy hunting.

ps. They had a 120Gb version of this but I think it was 269 so the Sainsburys one is better for that size.

This is very slightly better than the hmv/game deal, as although the same price, you get the 1 months free blockbuster.

That said I'm waiting for a better deal than that, as amazon and hmv both recently did a 3 game deal for around the same price. Anyone know of any possible deals in the pipeline? Surely they'll be some sort of COD bundle..

I know what you mean, i've been holding off and holding off but the Sainsburys deal tipped it for me to start looking. I'm trying really hard to not keep looking. Completely agree I think there will be a COD bundle coming up but I wanted U2 and NFS so it worked out.

As an aside just been playing NFS WOW !

HMV had this same deal, same price but with Fifa 10 on top of it. That was an awesome deal. I think that's gone now, but maybe hold out for something similar. I wouldn't be surprised if there is COD MW2 bundle deal soon.

I know it will only be available to a few people but a similar deal to this (without rental) is available in the Sony shop at Heathrow T5. It was around £250 for the 250gb with Uncharted 2 plus either Fifa 10 or Need for Speed(? Sorry I can't be sure of the exact details)
The only problem is that you need to be through security (flying somewhere) to access the shop. Hope it helps someone.

This is good, the rental can actually save you money in that you don't spend £30 on a game you don't like/complete in a day.

the hmv one is online, my boyfriend bought it and on its way today.

sainsbury seem to go out of stock really easily though, never in when he looked.

I think fifa was also included in the deal as an option but I'm not into fotoball games so didn't pay much attention.

ps. Thanks all for the comments, I appreciate the heat
