where have u uk ps3 people preordered the ps3, because every shop i go to, they got sum deal or dodgy excuse.

Sony Centre:

They are guaranteed 500 Ps3's at launch at their branch, 5 people have preordered, but they are not taking my pre order because they said they dont even know the price of the console

HMV:

This was laughable, you have to buy a PSP 4gb in order to pre order your PS3.

Game Station:

Taken all pre orders

Argos:

Whats 0%  percent credit options??

I know mate play.com also have a £549 3 game deal but the hmv one is laughable. You could try gamestation? argos are also doing pre-orders which i know you tryed but try agen. Good luck

I pre-ordered mine from Play.com. Argos are good and if you don't want to pay the full deposit try their 0% credit which means nothing to pay for 6 months basically. Gamestation have been sold out for months. GAME not even started and HMV have started taking normal pre-orders at local stores for a 60GB PS3 with no games.

If you preorder at GAME you only have to pay a £100 deposit, compared to the full amount at Argos.

what you should do is look fo a generic electric store in your area, mines x-electrical, they sell the ps3 for £400 with a game when it comes out, they dont have **** pre order its first come first served plus its great value look around until you find something decent

argos uk is the best place to pre order a ps3 with 60 gig hard drive
u do not pay the deposit for the ps3 at argos u pay the full price for the ps3 60 gig
£424.99 and Delivery Charge.£4.95

it least when u pay and pre order
for the ps3 from argos u will know u will get your ps3 on release date or a day after
argos has always been good with pre orders

but i dont recommend u pre order your ps3 from play.com

play.com hasint got any stock confirmation yet from sony plus play.com
has been taken preorders since before christmas on
a first come first serve basis  plus a properly
runned company will stop taken pre orders by now if they
ran out of stock on how many ps3s they have

so if any one is gonna pre order and buy

a ps3 i 100% recommend u pre order from
argos uk it least u will know u will get your ps3

alright lads u wanna know about ps3 hear goes, i took the liberty of going to several shops before preordering

argos are preordering and deliver it 2 your door the days it out (thats the one i went 4)and u pay with debit card/credit card

game are alswell go into the store and u have to put down a £50 DEPOSIT and pay the rest when u go to collect it u have to collect it within 3 days of  the launch

and toysrus are preordering  and u can go in store or order off their website :)

hope this helps and by the way all 3 stores listed still have stock so hurry up
