I'm thinking about buying a PS3 n have got the best offer @ 34k for 160GB with no games. Is the price OK or can anyone recommend a better bundle offer here in Karachi.

Can anyone recommend a reliable shop to buy a PS3 in Defence/Clifton area.

34k for 160GB is fine, though you should negotiate it to 33k.

About bundle... I don't think the shopkeepers would be giving you the games bundled with PS3 or they will charge more if they want to give off the bundled game. Get the normal bundle without games and buy games seperately.

em gonna buy a PS3 very soon, but i need to clear few things first...
which one to go for... phat one or slim one???
em livin in UK so is there anything i need to know about PS3 n its games that can cause me trouble while playing online games (my internet connection is 20Mbps)
as i came to know the price of PS3 is goen to b dropped by the start of sept...
so will the slim one will b of same $299 (£180 sumats) or will b higher than the phat PS3s???
one thing is also bothering me that sony is about to launch another slim version 250gig... is it worth to wait for it or not?
my mate used my PSN account on his ps3 to register... do i have to make a new one or not?
can i used the saved games from my mates PS3 as i've completed loads of games... or i've to do everything again on mine?
last but not least if i go for slim PS3, will it gonna give me the same overheating problem as i faced in PS2... as i noticed both of them dont got the fan :unsure:
cheers

Hard to comment on Slim right now, it's not out and people aren't using it. I donno bout you, but I find the "phat" one to be hellota sexier, thanks to the gloss finish probably.

I say you try and find a good deal/bndle for the 80gig model.

no one answered my all questions :(
one of the major questions that is bothering me is dat: my mate used my PSN account on his ps3 to register... do i have to make a new one or not?
can i used the saved games from my mates PS3 as i've completed loads of games... or i've to do everything again on mine?
one last thing is there anywhere i can buy the ps3 from US n ship it to UK cuz if i buy PS3 slim here its £249.99, if i convert the $ into £ then it'll b £182.6 for the 299$ ps3 selling in US...
any advices???

PS3 is still quite expensive in Europe after the price cut well Since some people here on PG got them for 600dollars at its launch when you have to get them just get them :)
