amazing deal. i see this has a better deal than having the option to buy a wii u with all the games for the same price.

the ps3 is the most powerful console on the market with the best and highest rate exclusive titles that supports the best media formats so this is the best deal for getting a home console or media player streaming device

Dude, your grammar's terrible.

What's grammar got to do with it?

On topic; this really is amazing. Know why? Because this means you can get a brand new PS3 and PS Vita - both as game bundles - for the same or less money than a WiiU...

Crazy times :O And sure to make early adopters consider their options.

To those that disagreed to my above comment; I didn't mean to provoke anyone, just to help people get the best deals.

In UK Amazon.co.uk offer white Vita & CoD Black Ops & memory card for £189.99. Add that to this PS3 Super Slim price of £138.74 from Sainsbury's and you pay £328.73, which is 2 consoles for less than the 32GB WiiU RRP.

Another disagree, lmao!

Guess what? Amazon in the UK are now offering a bundle: a 500GB PS3, a Vita and PSASBR for £329!! That's less than £350, isn't it?

To disagree is to wish it wasn't so! But it won't change the truth :P

Makes me wonder if ps4 will have 12Gb models to keep price down. WiiU is similar to this.

Also Nazi in the room.

What is this 2006?

Are you one of those people that still belives that the PS3 is made from Unicorn tears, pixie dust, black majic and buitt by optimus prime.

Ur tripping mate the wiiu is very much the most powerful its got a slower cpu but its got lots of edram and modern tech ie out of order execution ect and the gpgpu basically does cpu tasks that ends up making the wiiu over all cpu power much more than any ps3 get a grip.

The gpgpu takes zero hit on graphics when using all its cpu power in other words the wiiu is a gpgpu focused console that supports dx11 comparable shaders shader model 5.0/Compute shader 11/Tons of edram thats directly on the MCM mother board which makes the edram alot more relevant basically the wiiu is a graphical beast as michel ancel said it handled uncompressed textures that were in super HD resolution and it still handled it no problem at 60fps says it all if u ask me.

'the ps3 is the most powerful console '

Lol.

metroid324164d ago (Edited 4164d ago )

Why did Michel ancel say they had problems with fill rate on Rayman origins Ps3/360 and frame rate issues if ps3 is so powerful ??

Yet wiiu can handle super HD textures with zero slowdown ?

Also Michel ancel said to ONM that BGAE2 is a good fit for wiiu and said its very powerful.

Ask Akuma and people like him dude, they make me laugh with their delusions.

Children calm down with the pointless arguments. One system came out 6 yrs ago, the other came out LAST WEEK. Should anyone even question which one is more powerful? Although I haven't tried a wiiu yet, Ps3 is where its at for me.

punisher994164d ago

Let me shed some light on this. Yes the PS3 is still the most powerful home console. The PS3 defintely has the better processor. The WiiU's processor is just basically 2 Wii processors. The WiiU has the better GPU vs. the PS3's. The WiiU has more RAM than the PS3, but the PS3's RAM is faster. Lets see if the WiiU will ever produce a game that looks better than Uncharted 2. I doubt it because working with slow RAM is extremely frustrating for any software developer.

Most Large Supermarket offers are a big con anyway.

The prices on them games have been increased before the offers were put on. so instead of actually saving £3-6. They advertise you are saving £5-15.

They do that on all things. Tesco's, ASDA, Sainsbury, etc. Look at the prices before the go on offer. I bet the price will go up.

Dovahkiin4404d ago

You're right, they'll probably base it on 'RRP' which some places seem to think is £45.

Major retailers cut 3DS price

Sainsbury’s and Dixons go sub-£200 following GAME’s price drop.

More retailers have cut the price of the Nintendo 3DS ahead of its March launch.

Sainsbury’s has listed the handheld console at £199.99 on its website – which comes with 1,000 nectar points – while Dixons is selling it for £199. The latter is charging buyers a £10 deposit.

Sainsbury’s cuts DS to £99

VG247 writes: Sainsbury’s has cut the price of Nintendo’s DS to just £99, no doubt in response to the reveal of the Japanese company’s 3DS at E3 last week.

An ad in a London Newspaper, The Metro, shows the new price of the handheld, although as yet no other retailer seems to have followed Sainsbury’s lead."
