40GB PS3 for €235 @ Argos UK.

Dman001

I saw the 40GB PS3 is selling for £219.99 in Argos in the UK, which works out to be about €235. Very good price for a PS3.

that's the OP when he remembers that with the extra cost of petrol and tolls to go up north and get it, it aint so good a bargain

ProjectColossus

Depends where you're driving from really. Looks like a good deal to me.

Many go up North to do a monthly shop, so they could pick this up while up North. The max you spend on petrol and tolls would be about €50 anyway, which still makes it the cheapest PS3 around.

It looks more like Stephen Hawking.

I would like the title to have stated Argos UK.

Its disappointing when you have to open a thread only to find out that the company don't deliver to R.O.I. or that you have to add on extra costs for driving, petrol, shipping etc. I wish people would be clearer in their title

Not meant to offend OP

Dman001

Sorry guys. Title changed, hope this helps.

Some people are very negative. Thanks for posting this OP!

the groutch,

I've said it before and I'll say it again..

Unless you've something useful to say, don't bother!

Isn't that model discontinued?

Edit
Clicking on the link might help!

This console is discontinued so only limited stock is available for delivery to your home. As an alternative, please order catalogue number 566/6786, PlayStation 3 console with 80GB, which can also be collected in store.

If I'm reading that right, it's delivery only too. So no petrol involved.

Didn't another post say tomorrow argos are dropping a lot of prices to around sterling prices? We could get a good deal tomo in our local argos :P
