Bargain alert: 400 pound PlayStation 3s in the UK

The Sony PlayStation 3 console - Image 1With the Sony PlayStation 3 console enjoying success in the UK following its recently concluded March 23 launch, more good news comes in for the buyers as MCV reports two promos that slash the PS3's sale price below the standard Â£ 425 (US$ 840) tag.

The first deal is being offered by the WH Smith retail store chain, which is currently selling the PS3 console for only Â£ 399.99 (US$ 790) each - Â£ 25 (US$ 49) less than the standard retail price. This Easter promo is limited to WH Smith's larger stores, and is expected to end this April 10.

For the online-savvy buyers, we report that the Play.com online retailer is also offering the PS3 console for Â£ 399.99. What makes Play.com's offer more enticing is its inclusion of an HDMI cable and a Blu-Ray copy of Adam Sandler's "Click" movie in the pack. For the buyers who decided to hold out from the temptation of pre-ordering their PS3s in case better bargains showed up, this could be it.

You know what, i realy coundnt careless! YES i am a Sony/Playstation fanboy. And i do KNOW that the PS3 is the worlds most POWERFULL and fast gaming console, but as well the most priced.



But heres the fact. In Sudbury, Ontario, CAnada, our PS3s are valued at 800$+tax! Why? NOT SONY, but Futureshop. THey raised our price and the rest followed so thats that.



SURVEY;;;

Keep in mind we said they had 900$ to spend on 1 unit of their choice!

Fixed pricing is illegal and can result in huge fines so no it is not price fixed.
