HMV slashes PS3 Slim price dramatically, sells out
Posted: 28.12.2012 04:22 by JonahFalcon Comments: 6
Major UK retailer HMV has slashed the price of the 12 GB PlayStation 3 Slim console to £119.99, which included free delivery to boot. Needless to say, the console sold out rather quickly.

The downside is that the offer included no games and the 12 GB of storage is rather paltry. However, it'll be interesting to see if this heralds similar price slashes by other retailers, since the 12 GB SKU has been a poor seller.

Stay tuned.

As much as I'd like a PS3, 12Gb is pointless. Too many games require a mandatory install to make it worthwhile.

Just buy a laptop 1 tb and put it in and you are ready to go!

How will that help him play PS3 games?

You can replace the HD, not that hard if you're a little handy.

idk if you could get a lappy for 200 GBP, especially with a controller.

Whenever I'm selling something and it goes fast, I always think I should have asked for more. They probably could have gotten a good rate of sales at 225 and made more money. Then again, businesses often care more about the rate of cashflow and their immediate bank balance, so maybe they're better off blowing through their whole stock asap?

I've got the same PS3's with the 12gb memory, but I hooked it up to a sort of flash disk that holds 1 TB.
@HenoKutus I agree.
