Considering taking the hit and getting a PS3, a few questions if I may:

1. Anyone know the cheapest place to buy one?
2. Anyone know of anyone that is selling one?
3. My mates friends brother has previously had consoles chipped, anyone know if the PS3 will work online if chipped?

Muchos grassy bum.

Most places sell a 40GB and a game (or two if you find a good deal) for around the £300.

And don't get it chipped. If it fucks, you've no got a leg to stand on.

There $400 in Florida which is around £200 go to USA for the real bargains.

I know of one going for £250, barely (and I mean barely used) with one controller, and the Simpsons, Rainbow Six Vegas, Tiger Woods Golf and Formula 1 Racing.

The seller has just flown to Tenerife for a fortnight though, so if you're interested you'll need to wait until then.

pretty sure you cant chip ps3s
