Bargain of the Century : 120Gb PS3 Slim for Just R2299

Ps3SlimBargain

If you’ve been slow to migrate from your old, dusty PS2 to the next generation, now might be the perfect opportunity. Select Pick ‘n Pay retailers nationally are practically giving away Sony’s HD console.

Well below the RRP, they’re selling 120GB PS3’s for an astonishing R2299.00 – a saving of R1500 on the regular price. This makes it undoubtedly the most attractively priced, full featured HD console available in the country at the moment. Word is stock is very limited, so get yourself to your nearest Pick ‘n Pay as soon as possible to avoid missing out on this.

There’s pretty much no reason not to get a PS3 now…unless you’re a silly deluded fanboy, of course. In case you didn’t know,  it only does everything.

    DELETE THIS POST NOW. THE LESS PEOPLE THE BETTER!

    Who thinks it’s a good idea for me to go buy another PS3 just to sell it at a higher price?

      The more people gaming the better 😉

      I’d go buy another one now, just to use as a secondary media centre.

    Oh and if you don’t get stock ask for a ticket at customer service 🙂

            They are useless. Try Dion Wired upstairs or Game at Pavillion. Makro at springfield normally have stocks.

    My laptop’s motherboard died a few weeks ago. It’s gonna take just over R5000 to fix. Now I’m thinking of just buying an el-cheapo laptop and using the rest of the money for a PS3 as well.

    Heavy Rain. I must have it.

    Do you possibly know where this PNP add was advertised in?
    was it on a leaflet or national newspaper?

      Numerous people on the PS3ZA and Xbox-360 forums have confirmed purchase. Some stores – like the Ottery PnP – are already unfortunately out of stock.

    I reckon the 2 was supposed to be a 3. Maybe they printed the incorrect price and now have to honour it?

      It says “Save R1500” at the bottom. That would be one heck of a typo. 😉

    PNP in Durban North is out of stock

    really don’t know why they decided to land this price on a Thursday. It’s definately a destination driver to get feet in store so you would think they’d do it over the weekend when people have time to spend doing some shopping.

    Guys will literally skip work buy the thing today and head back they won’t be hanging around

    oh well at least PnP know this price point works to push volume so maybe we’ll see it again.

    Btw have heard from a reliable source that game have been honouring their “will beat any price” but you have to present a copy of the broadsheet showing the PnP special

    Game in Canal Walk, Cape Town, are honouring the Pick ‘n Pay offer and then some (I paid R2149). Grab a copy of Die Burger (main section) and they should, if you act soon, help you out. They have 16 left.

        Beat Zico was easy for me compared to Zone Zeus – i think my record was 73 zones…

    So… you have a PS3…now you need a TV…

    I am selling a practically brand spanking new LCD, with warranty.

    Sony Bravia KLV-32T550 LCD TV. 2x HDMI Ports, Bravia Engine 3 Technology, in box with all manuals and so forth. It’s been turned on about 4 times dudes. The reason I am seeling it is because I won another TV at the same time so I no longer need this one.

    Interested? Drop me a mail: viatyr@gmail.com
