Cheap Playstation 3 80GB for sale
The Playstation 3 is the third video games console from electronics giants Sony and the most powerful home console ever with its 3.2 GHz Cell Broadband Engine and high-definition optical Blu-ray Disc player delivering not just stunning graphics but a stack of multimedia capabilities too.
Initially launched with a basic model (20 GB hard disk drive (HDD)) and a premium model (60 GB HDD), these models have been discontinued and replaced with 40 GB and 80 GB versions. For many hardcore gamers, the 80GB is the better deal because it has double the amount of storage, has Flash Card readers, SACD support and the ability to play PS2 titles, all of which the 40 GB model does not have.
Unfortunately, only the 40 GB model is sold in Australia - much to the disappointment of our gaming fanatics - but that hasn't stopped Aussie gamers from getting their 80 GB version from overseas or online via Ebay, Gumtree etc. and there are plenty of them.
Take this seller for example. A brand new PlayStation 3 80 GB model selling for just $300. And not only is that a dirt cheap price, the seller also throws in three games - Resistance, Warhawk and Virtua Fighter 5 - for good measure along with the standard Six-axis wireless controller, AC power cord, Audio/Video cable (HDMI or Component cable inbox), Ethernet cable and USB cable.
Bearing in mind the 40 GB version retails for $699 in Aussie stores, this is a bargain of seismic proportions!
