PS3 Deals?

[olanmills]

If I don't have a PS3 before LittleBigPlanet comes out, I could DIE!
*maybe a true fact

However, if I pay full price for a PS3, I will be a little sad.

Does anyone know of any deals at all?

I missed the $100 GameStop trade-in bonus deal. Also, the Sony Card deal is a very good one indeed, but that's not an option for me (I'm in the middle of getting a mortgage).

Thanks for any advice.

Sony Card is awesome, $150 dollar off, that is like $250 for a new 80GB. If you go Ebay, most used 40GB still go for $230-$350.

It is ashame that the Sony Card offer is limited to US residents.

Your best bet is craiglists for a cheap PS3, but nothing will get you $150 off.

Microsoft live search offers 30% cash back for buying at ebay using paypal. There is a separate thread for it in the deals forum.

It could be an option if you can find a relatively cheap used system on ebay.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the cash back thing. Hmm... I'll have to decide about that quickly if I want to get one in time for LBP.

I actually want a new 80GB console only. Even though I've used eBay hundreds and hundreds of times, I'm still wary of buying stuff like this on there. I dunno, I guess I feel comfortable when I know I can go to a store to exchange something that malfunctioned after several weeks.
