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?
March 18, 2010
10:28 am
Very good price! Go get it folks!
March 18, 2010
10:29 am
The more people gaming the better ;)
I’d go buy another one now, just to use as a secondary media centre.

I love Pick ‘n Pay. I paid R2800 for my ps3 last year. What a bargain.

Check the Hypermarkets dudes
Oh and if you don’t get stock ask for a ticket at customer service
March 18, 2010
10:45 am
Oh wait! Rather go to Game/Dion Wired/Makro and ask for a price beat
March 18, 2010
11:40 am
Holy crap what a bargain!! And I bought a 250gig bundle for 4299 a month ago , noooo.
March 18, 2010

Game will beat any price by 5% of the difference. I’m gonna phone them and find out

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.
March 18, 2010

March 18, 2010
12:37 pm
I would love to get this, but I just can’t afford it.
March 18, 2010
12:47 pm
You are correct! Pity Game at gateway doesnt have stock!
March 18, 2010
12:56 pm
if this was an old 60GB BC one, i’d get it in a heart beat. Luckily i found a guy on Gumtree selling his PS3 60Gb for R2400

Hi Guys
Do you possibly know where this PNP add was advertised in?
was it on a leaflet or national newspaper?
March 18, 2010
1:51 pm
Anyone bought one yet and which shop?
March 18, 2010
1:51 pm
I reckon the 2 was supposed to be a 3. Maybe they printed the incorrect price and now have to honour it?
March 18, 2010
1:52 pm
This particular advert was from Die Beeld.
March 18, 2010
1:55 pm
Numerous people on the PS3ZA and Xbox-360 forums have confirmed purchase. Some stores – like the Ottery PnP – are already unfortunately out of stock.
March 18, 2010
1:57 pm
It says “Save R1500″ at the bottom. That would be one heck of a typo. ;)
March 18, 2010
2:00 pm
Enjoy the YLOD on that 60gb.
March 18, 2010
2:01 pm
Yeah. 2 of my friends got theirs this morning.
Epic bargain. Was considering getting a second console at that price.
March 18, 2010
2:18 pm
FYI, Pick n’ Pay Ottery and Brackenfell in Cape Town are out of stock.
March 18, 2010
2:44 pm
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
March 18, 2010
2:48 pm
Wow I phoned them this morning and they said they had 18!
March 18, 2010
3:14 pm
I just want to play PS2 games. And plus the YLOD is repairable ;)
March 18, 2010

if this special was in Christmas, people would’ve killed each other over this.
March 18, 2010
3:20 pm
They are useless. Try Dion Wired upstairs or Game at Pavillion. Makro at springfield normally have stocks.
March 18, 2010
3:57 pm
Are these “selected outlets” only Pick&Pay Hyper’s or normal ones too?
March 18, 2010
3:59 pm
It appears to just be the hypers, I’m afraid.
March 18, 2010

According to some buddies, the sold out PnP’s will give rainchecks/tickets if you have a copy of the flyer.
March 18, 2010
4:53 pm
I call Bullshit. I walk through PnP at Ottery everyday on my way home and always check the Hi-Fi section for specials. I did even see this over the last week or so.
March 18, 2010
5:34 pm
Got the last one @ Ottery in CT
w00t!
Heavy rain arrives tomorrow!

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.
March 18, 2010
7:31 pm
I have the thing now but have nothing to do with it.
March 18, 2010

And the Fury expansion!
I still can’t believe I didnt do Zone Zeus. I think that’s the last trophy I need.
Beat Zico was easy for me compared to Zone Zeus – i think my record was 73 zones…

I can surf the web on my PC and stream via my Xbox.
I don’t watch movies.
I call it the thing as I don’t want to get emotionally attached to it.

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
