Sony Playstation 3 Console: 40GB
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools Of Destruction
4gamers HDMI Cable
Casino Royale
Spiderman 3

All that, for £360

Is that decent enough for the money, or could I do better if I look round some more? (No 'yeah, you could get a 360' jokes pls) Obviously not asking where to look, just if better deals are around then I can go hunting.
 
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune Heard its a great game, must have
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools Of Destruction Heard its a poor to average game, can you not get F1 instead.
4gamers HDMI Cable meh
Casino Royale good film
Spiderman 3 crap film

I would try to get a deal with no movies and 3 of the best games. I know Casino Royale was being giving out with PS3 so its a film that is easy to buy 2nd hand.
 
Dunno, Ratchet seems well rated on metacritic, with the negatives being it's very 'same old' compared to the PS2, which i've not played, so shouldn't be a problem.

The bundles are fixed games...

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Heavenly Sword, Burnout Paradise

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Assassins Creed, WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools Of Destruction, Lair, Assassins Creed

None of which have the HDMI cable. How much would a generic HDMI cost? And what comes in the box? Component?

New.

I don't want an XBox 360, it would be a hugely illogical choice for what i'm looking for, so there's no point trying to convince me otherwise.
 
If I said "Get an Xbox360" I wouldn't be joking. :p.

I wasn't a fan of Ratchet and Clank, I've had it since November and I just don't really rate it at all. Uncharted was good, for me the best of the exclusives (and the only one I would say 'definitely buy it'), it's not a bad deal though. You get what many people would say are the best 2 exclusives.
 
Uncharted is awesome.

Ratchet is ok, renting it at the moment and it's ok i guess. It's got a good sense of humour on it which is nice.

If it's a bundle it sounds rather expensive to me for some reason.

At the moment one of the catalogue stores is selling a shielded HDMI cable for £4.99. It is HDMI 1.2 though (only matters if your telly supports the newer 1.3 standard, I guess).

I wouldn't be paying more than say £10 maximum for a HDMI cable tbh. Out of the box you will get a composite cable, with a SCART block adaptor. If you want component then get a PS2 component cable (the ps3 and ps2 share the same multi AV out port).

Uncharted and Ratchet are both great. The bundle seems a tad overpriced to me tbh, although I haven't looked for better deals, to be fair.

divine, i think i know where your ordering from cos i was going to get the same thing... and im pretty sure you can get student discount on it if you have it.

i was originally going to get:

ps3 40gb
uncharted
heavenly sword
burnout paradise

=£360, after student discount it came to £324 which is an absolute steal.

i put in my order and it went through, but i had to cancel due to them only willing to deliver to my billing address and not my other address :(


you can get the same deal in store for £350 and the games are not fixed, you get the full choice of 12 games (you pick any 2) from the pick and mix deal, plus burnout paradise or with casino royal + spiderman + hdmi cable. i think theres a few more options too..

the deals only show a choice of 4 games but if you look at the small print next the choice of games it says more titles available :)

You should defiantly get Uncharted and Casino Royale is a great film to show off Blu-Ray. Ratchet and Clank is a fun pick up and play.

If you haven't bought COD4 any prefer playing FPS' on a console then buy that too.

For the bundle get either the one you originally posted or "Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Heavenly Sword, Burnout Paradise".

Heavenly Sword is a lot like God of War so if you like that then you should enjoy Heavenly Sword.
 
Just to re iterate. Ratchet and Clank is a good game, and definately worthy of purchasing or buying as part of a bundle.

As for the £360 price tag, It doesnt look too bad. Considering the price of those seperate.
 
If I buy a bundle deal which has one game I dont really want, I just trade that game in on something else as soon as the transaction is complete. Otherwise youre just stuck with it.

Cheapo HDMI cables can be had for around £5 although I would go for a mid range one at about £10-£15.
 
Playstation 3 60GB Console + Tiger Woods PGA 08 + Motorstorm + Resistance + Sixaxis Controller + Joytech HDMI Cable

£429 if you'd rather go for the 60GB version. Of course if you're not bothered about backwards compatibility might be worth saving some pennies and getting the 40GB
