      Where?. I bet that's a used console.

    This would make a good 3D blu-ray player. Then again you also need to buy the PS3 remote if you want to play blu-rays.

      could always use the controller

          Lol 18 negs at time of counting for this innocuous little comment (that also happens to make more than a bit of sense)?
          I could see wives and mums preferring a small remote as compared to a PS3 controller laying about (let alone one that isn't wireless).

          Wow you guys are way harsh, especially for a comment that is entirely true. The amount of times I've accidentally sat on or restarted a blu-ray because of a controller..

    • ThisJustin on 12/11/2013 - 18:04

      In my experience the PS3 remote absolutely devours batteries. I suppose because it is a bluetooth remote? You're better off just using the controller. It isn't any more difficult.

      It's also worth noting that the PS3 BD remote won't work with with the PS4.

      • hollykryten on 12/11/2013 - 18:05

        Strange. I've had my PS3 remote running for months off the same batteries. Although i've only been using it a few times a week.

    • unity1 on 12/11/2013 - 18:20

      Note you will not get the internet content on the PS3 that you get with a dedicated Sony blu-ray player.

        Y did the above poster get negged? Using the dualshock controller sucks for movies

          Shrugs I don't know why it was negged.

          I suggested a PS3 remote for blu-ray movie playback for obvious reasons. You make good suggestions and people neg ya for it.

        • rakerr on 12/11/2013 - 20:01

          I'm pretty sure its because you said you NEED to buy the ps3 remote if you want to play blu-rays, which is rubbish.

  • yk300 on 12/11/2013 - 17:57

    do you guys reckon the price will fall further comes Christmas?

    • ThisJustin on 12/11/2013 - 18:05

      I can't imagine it getting much cheaper than this, but you never know.

      • xordis on 13/11/2013 - 23:36

        I reckon we will see a $138 or $148 (console with controller) in the lead up to Christmas. (search on here, we saw those prices on the release of the super slim so there is no reason why they wouldn't do it again)

        There should also be some clearances on PS3 Slim models (160GB - kmart and 320GB - bigw/kmart) models from at least Kmart and BigW. (I know of at least 3 stores near me that have at least 6 of these still on the shelves)

        The US is getting $199 with two games specials on black friday, and going by other deals it has been cheaper to get a console from here, so maybe we will also see something like that in the lead up to Christmas.

    • unity1 on 12/11/2013 - 18:33
      +3

      Yes, I think you will see $138 just like we are seeing with the xbox

    • COR80 on 12/11/2013 - 18:46

      It's getting close to what I'm willing to shell out, that's for sure. $120-ish and the next two years will be sorted, playing all the PS3 exclusives I've missed out on. Then in 2016 I buy the previous 2 years worth of the better PS4 releases at around $15-20 a pop instead of $60-80.

    Arg this is pushing me so bad to buy it! Want to hold out as PS4 is out in 2 weeks.

    Must wait!

    • Velocita on 13/11/2013 - 15:22

      You won't be able to play PS3 games on PS4, so if you're keen to play any current gen titles this is a good option for you. Otherwise you can hope that they release the games you're after in an emulated fashion on the PS4.

      I think it might be the "stuffing around" bit people are down voting. I don't understand how it is any more difficult to use the controller over the remote.

      • hollykryten on 12/11/2013 - 18:12
        -2

        Because you have the play, pause, stop, rewind, fast forward, skip chapter, eject etc buttons on the remote control and all you need to do is press it with your thumb. Those buttons aren't on the control pad so makes it more fidgety to use those features.

        • ThisJustin on 12/11/2013 - 18:21
          +10

          You do all of those things while watching one movie? I suppose if you need to make all of those inputs a remote might be more convenient. :)

          Usually just play and pause for me.

    • hollykryten on 12/11/2013 - 18:16

      First shipment of PS4 is getting released on 29th November any how well at least pre-orders are. Second shipment is late December.

        I believe first shipment has sold out almost universally in Au. I could be wrong

  • moey187 on 12/11/2013 - 18:19

    Does this come with the controller?

    • hollykryten on 12/11/2013 - 18:20

      It's not actually a hard drive, but YES you can buy a HDD cradle (around $10-15) and get a Hard Drive up to 1TB to fill up.

  • lj87 on 12/11/2013 - 19:33

    I like Red things. I'm buying!

    Nah, bugger that. 160 for a console, then 50-100 per game afterwards, which you get bored of in 2 weeks…. Remember those times during my PS2 years. Never again.

    • Bob81 on 12/11/2013 - 19:37

      Second hand games are very cheap nowdays.

      With the PS4 to be released shortly too, I expect there to be a glut of PS3 games hitting the market.

    • esotericizm on 12/11/2013 - 20:14

      I never pay over 50 for my games www.ozgameshop.com

    • COR80 on 12/11/2013 - 20:29

      The only game I purchased that cost $50 was Bioshock Infinite as new release, and I have played maybe 60 or so titles. Relatively recent games on gumtree might cost $20-30 within 2 months of release, and if you don't feel the need to have only the latest games $10-15 after a year or two is the most you'll pay at a pawnshop or on gumtree. Then you can also swap and trade with mates or online as I do on gumtree and/or receive games as gifts on your birthday or Christmas. They're better than socks or chockies and sometimes family are grateful that they always know what to get you. Also if you spend a bit of time reading a range of reviews you will hardly ever purchase a game that bores you after 2 weeks unless you are playing 6 or 8 hours a day; for instance I just finished Far Cry 3 last night after 3 months or so off and on, and got 95 hours+ even though I haven't finished all the challenges.

      • ausdiva on 27/11/2013 - 21:44

        I would highly recommend buying games on Ebay. I bought Bioshock Infinite from an Australian store in Perth and it cost me $30 NEW. Also,wait for the Steam Xmas sales as often you can pick up $60 games for a fraction of the price. I bought Tomb Raider 2013 for $12 and bought Portal 1 & 2 for $4.99.The Steam sales are pretty much the best way to afford pc gaming.

  • MATTDAMON on 12/11/2013 - 19:41

    Something something Broden PS3.

  • hollykryten on 12/11/2013 - 19:59

    I bet the Big W staff heard about this PS3 deal and placed them all aside for themselves.

    Hey the red console is still available for purchase online. Only the black console is sold out.

  • ThePunchingBag on 12/11/2013 - 20:18

    PS3 games are a dime a dozen. Gumtree & E-Bay are very cheap now.

  • ThePunchingBag on 12/11/2013 - 20:20

    All first orders of PS4 are sold out. You can't get one until 2014 unless you want to pay an extra few hundred dollars on E-Bay etc. That's not the OzBargain way !!! We need to buy cheaper not more expensive !!! LOL

  • Syd Bargain Girl on 12/11/2013 - 20:24

    Red one also sold out now :(
    Ozbargained for sure!

  • dAYTONA on 12/11/2013 - 20:25

    This $178 deal has been available since the $148 deal for the PS3 SLIM 160GB was out - but this deal didn't seem like a "deal", compared to the other one…

    I finally decided to buy one today and got it just before the post. Then after black was out, thought of getting the red as a gift, went to get some food, came back, no more available :) you guys are quick :)

    You could have ordered a game or remote to go over $200 and used the code 15OFF200 for $15 off. Plus of course there is the Free Delivery on 'normal' sized items above $75. So not bad at all.

    • sachz on 13/11/2013 - 12:17

      actually no.

      1. its $168 not $178
      2. the $148 deal was extremely limited in-store only and NOT online
      3. it was the black only…. red charges a premium.

      as such, this was an excellent deal (if u were quick enuff online). :)

  • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 12/11/2013 - 20:26

    Red console is sold out?. Then why is it not showing as sold out online and why is the add to cart button there and why am i able to add it to the cart and process to the checkout with it?. They might have located more stock in the warehouse.

    It's not sold out at all online.

    Edit: ahhh crap it just sold out again. Extra stock is gone.

  • sachz on 12/11/2013 - 22:26

    sorry, but was the RED one ever part of the earlier $148 special? i think it was just black… and red was always at a premium when they came out - can any1 confirm?

  • ostsee on 13/11/2013 - 15:44

    no red no black anymore
