If they have their hearts set on a ps3, then this doesnt help much.
Good luck!

Don't know if this of any interest to you, a friend pointed it out to me earlier when I was talking about getting myself a new ps3....
Looks a great deal if you are in need of a new phone contract.

PS 3 - Playstation, by Strange Al on Nov 29, 2010 2:03:27 GMT 1, 1. Yes. It's the newer version and basically an all around improvement.
2. The ps3 makes for a very good multimedia hub - games, blu-ray, music, surfing the net, iplayer, pvr, etc. Naturally, more memory means you can save more files. If you can see yourself (or your kids) doing a lot of downloading, uploading or otherwise saving content then go for the bigger memory.
3. No. That's all you'll need to start. Though don't know if they now come bundled with a hdmi cable, so if you've got a hd tv (which I assume you have) then double check. Plus, the remote control is handy. If you want to use it as a pvr, then you'll also need to buy a Play tv add on.

Slim line is also the way forward, the older ones make a fair amount of noise. If they're going to use it for movies, downloads etc, can beat the larger memory models.

PS 3 - Playstation, by Zippy on Nov 29, 2010 23:26:15 GMT 1, thanks guys, so just to check, the bigger memory is for downloading and storing films etc.. but not for the actual playing of games?
i'll check out toys r us, tesco's and Game but wondering if John Lewis are the cheapest?
appreciate the help and advice.

PS 3 - Playstation, by Strange Al on Nov 30, 2010 0:02:13 GMT 1, Bigger memory is for storing content, which can include games and demos (as well as movies, music, etc). Though the basic playing of games, saving progress etc doesn't use a lot of memory. Not sure on best deals at the moment - though definitely worth doing some comparisons on bundles, which it sounds like you're doing.
