For this week's instalment of Big W's one hour deal, we have….a PS3 160gb Slim Console for $288! Cue cheers
Admittedly, it's not an insanely cheap price, and as usual, stock will be painfully limited, but it may make you a very popular dad/mum/brother/sister/uncle/aunty should one of these be sitting under the Christmas tree..:)
And you can add the Move Starter Pack for an additional $60, which again is not an insane bargain, but a fair price…

  I'll save someone the trouble "what version is the firmware?" (I don't want an answer, just stirring).

  I don't understand why people don't want to update their firmware. Is there something that you can do with the old firmware that is blocked in the new one?

      jps433 its not just for copied games. I prefer having all my games installed on the HDD. That way dont have to keep inserting a the game disk in every time and it runs a lot faster off the HDD. All my games i have an original copy off.

  $288 for just a ps3 with nothing bundled? I'll pass - I'm sure we can do better closer to Xmas.

    Most of the bundling will probably be around $400. Besides sony is already losing money from the price cut. Dont think they'd be too eager to lose more. Its not as easy to make like the ps2 anymore

      5 years ago maybe they lost money from ps3 hardware sell. Definitely not now. Check the ps3 price in other countries.

  bratgirl on 09/11/2011 - 12:02

  I don't know. It seems like a good deal, but if you're getting a PS3 you'd probably buy a game too, so when you compare it to one of the bundles from JB Hifi…

  160gb ($288) + Resistance 3 ($78) = $366 @ Big W
  320gb + Resistance 3 bundle = $398 @ JB Hifi

  The JB one seems a better deal. But I suppose the $32 price difference would buy you a second cheap game if you were happy with the smaller drive space.

    or you're going to rip the stock hdd out and chuck in a bigger one or an ssd

  For those who need a game, i would suggest this deal is better value for money
  https://www.ebgames.com.au/ps3-999659-160GB-PS3--Battlefield…
  $350 with 160gb hdd and BF3. It makes the game $62 effectively.

    indeed, so long as the stores are not out of stock

  • 

    Quiexo on 09/11/2011 - 13:28

    Yes, I know…like I said in the post, not an incredible bargain, but it should be a whole $11 cheaper than other places (as far as I know, most places sell the console only for $299)..
    Just wondering, has AMEX deal (spend $300, get $30 Westfield Card) expired, or is it applicable for purchases from Big W? Coz there could be some potential "savings" there (spend an extra $11 to get $30 back)…

      https://amexnetwork.com.au/retail/shop/?cid=auRetail-si , valid until November 30th but Big W is not in the list.

  What are the chances of this being fw 3.55 or before?

  • 

    asa79 on 09/11/2011 - 17:26

    Check manufactured date for a good idea of what firmware it will be

  • 

    couger on 09/11/2011 - 21:01

    less than 50% as amazon usually sells quick, and their stock replenish often.

• 

  dy4me on 09/11/2011 - 21:15

  so since when has amazon started shipping ps3's to aus?

  Phoenixsun6 on 09/11/2011 - 23:04

  I don't know why everyone is worried about the firmware, as far as I know, the latest firmware (3.7.3) can be jailbroken quite easily…
