ps3 wont drop in price until atleast late this year, so i wouldn't bother waiting personally, that is a risk buying a $999 console off ebay mate, better off buying a nice swanky new one n paying the bit extra.

purchasing a console off ebay is pretty risky, what if there selling a damaged machine? besides there is no refund n u have lost alot of money. no way i'd do that.

Same here antman, i bought mine from harvey norman and they gave me the benefit of the doubt of choosing a game fro free because of the amount of money i spend in their store

At my local GAME they're taking trade-ins of old PS2 with 10 games and selling PS3 for $499. Not bad I thought, I paid $200 more only a month before, but still worth it for a month of gaming.

Damn thats one of the best deals i've heard from the PS3, at eb games over in WA, they have a deal where if you sell your ps2 and 60 games (i dont even have 20 games lol) you get about $500 off the price tag, thats not too bad in a sense, but alot of those 60 games would have to be junk.

Apparently GAME's got a pretty lengthy list of exclusions, however when I took my PS2 in to trade I brought 16 games with me and they only knocked back Red Faction and Gran Turismo 3, given that I got them for free years ago when I bought my PS2 I couldn't complain. I think one of the reasons the price keeps going down is that there's an EB less than 100 metres away and they each keep trying to go one better than the other. 60 games is nuts though, they'd be making a huge profit from that.

I bought my PS3 off ebay brand new in box and did a Cash on Delivery for $850 including NFS Carbon.. but I doubt that I'll be doing that again since I was one of the luckiest ones around to get one first week of launch date...

I paided $849.95 including a HDMI cable at Game Traders Perth City on Tuesday. Also got a couple of buy 1 get 1 free games. Including Armed Core 4. Which was actually an American Copy (as was motor storm and f1). The console however is Australian

I wasnt even looking, cause i felt 999 was over priced espically with onli Composite cables. But 849 with component cables is SPOT ON. After using it, i think that is is spot on. I ended up with 4 games, console, hdmi cable, extra controller, for just over 1200
