hey guys, iv been looking around for a cheap ps3 console to play bf3 with my mates with and was about to buy the target one for 299$ but found this at harvey norman for 276$, iv purcahsed mine online and will pick it up when they have them in stock in caringbah (they advised they ordered a few already and should come in any day now zzzzz)
dont worry, all HN has the same price long time ago..
Not bad for a 160gb
For future reference, the contraction of "I have" is "I've", not "iv".
old as the hills mate
zzz.. I've posted like 3 times, this is standard tag price in any HN store across the country since December…
It looks like $294 online to me?
Yeah says $294 for me as well.
The HN Wiimote deal a few weeks ago - I'm yet to recieve mine and that had a '3 day delay'. So you might want to be very careful unless you can pick it up.
well, iv been looking to buy for the past 5 or so days, iv searched online, iv search on ozbargain and iv searched in parra westfields, and the cheapest i could get was target's 299$ price tag, any offers a few weeks ago is no good to me now so for me 276$ is a bargain.
problem now is that they have told me it may take up to 14 days!! terrible hahaha.
oh, they have jacked it up to 294$.. im not sure if im lucky or not to have paid the 276$ hahah since now i may have to wait 14 days!!
Got one last week in store at JB for this price. Simply quoted that HN were doing them for the same price and they matched, no hassle and no waiting.
Wow, you're getting into BF3 15 weeks after the launch date? You have my sympathies mate.
I hope you don't mind dying a lot because that's what you'll be doing until you sink at least 20 hours into the game.
BF3 sucks enough on a PC as it is, it's worse by a factor of 10 on consoles, never-mind aiming with joysticks. And I've put roughly 35 hours into it, so I think I've a fair idea of the overall experience.
Only saving grace is that you don't have to use Origin, shudder.
Probably not a good investment if all you want is BF3 mate. Besides, servers are rapidly depopulating these days (unless it's 1000 Ticket Metro servers), it's hard to find a really consistently good 32/64 player server with good maps.
Typical gamer. Seriously, what kind of comment is that?
Who is to say that he/she is only getting to bf3 now? I play at a mates place all the time and I don't have a ps3?
Wow 35 hours!! If it sucked that much surely an hour would tell you something…

Typical hyper-sensitive OzBargainer.
Think of the children, human rights, etc…
I'm merely pointing that if his goal is to simply have some casual fun with a few friends from time to time via BF3, $276 is a damn expensive way to go about it.
BF3 is an unlock/achievement/stat-wh*re's dream. You need to put in hours before it becomes enjoyable and at this late stage, that'll be incredibly frustrating to do.
Even then, if the calibre of online idiocy doesn't put you off, the lag, disconnects, drop-outs, Origin issues and horrible Battlelog interface.
But whatever, you continue making assumptions about things you have no idea about.
Haha I caught a big one fellas.
Too bad I'm a catch & release kinda guy. Gotta think of the children! THE CHILDREN AMAR!
Fortunately he can also get M.A.G which seems to pretty constantly have full 32/64/96/128 or 256 player games running, plus it matches games to your skill level (to begin with). Plus you can MultiQueue :D
In my opinion, M.A.G is the only reason I play any games at all, and is a definite must have for any FPS fan who has a PS3
hey, thanks for the tips, normally i play fps games on pc, but alot of my mates have picked up bf3 on ps3 so what the hell, play it socially with my mates. cant complain hahaha.
oh iv also picked up bf3 on bigw online for 68$
Appears to be $325 on HN website at the moment

"We're experiencing a delay with your order. We estimate that your item(s) listed below will be ready in approximately 14 days, at which point we'll contact you."
