Target or Circuit City

I have a friend that works at Target and I believe his discount is for 10% off. Should I ask him to buy a PS3 for me for $450 + tax or should I go with Circuit City and get the free extra controller?

Really, the 10% discount only effects the sales tax...making it more like a $500 system than a $540 or whatever. I don't really remember the exact sales tax percentage.

wait after E3 to see if new controller is annouce then make your decision.

then I don't see a difference where you get it at.

maybe look into the return policy for both store.

Dude, get it at CC. You get five free blue-ray moives plus that free controller. Heading there right after work to pick mine up.. WOOT!elduchey

Just so you know, those 5 free blu-rays are mail in rebates, meaning, it's gonna be pretty hard to actually get your money back. Mail in rebates are notorious for trying to jip people out of what looks to be a sale.

mail in rebate usally takes 3 to 5 month...

If you are going with the Target one because of their extended warranty I would hold off. My friends xbox360 recently croaked and he went into Target to exchange it (seeing as he had the 3 year plan). It would be a time saver and he would be able to play the game he had just bought right when he got home.

However the Target plan does not cover in store return or repair service. Target will actually get the console and fix it themselves. Well in this instance they said the period could be months to fix it and suggested talking to Microsoft instead.

Moral of the story (besides 1.5s = Red Ring of Death) is that the Target coverage plans (although cheaper) are really nothing more than a headache inducing service that would cause immediate cardiac arrest if your PS3 croaked before you popped in MGS4.
