Any good phone deals with free PS3 slim?

Hey Guys,

I was thinking is there any 12 month mobile phone deals with a free ps3 slim?

I was looking to get the phone for free as well and pay no more than £35 per month, is there any deal like this around. I don't care about the phones specs.

I would prefer to pay £25 or £30 per month if possible

300 cross network minutes 250 texts, or 750 cross network minutes no texts or mix and match, whatever works to get a ps3 slim

Anything like this around?

Dont think you've got much chance of that deal to be honest.

You have to choose really. Crap handset and free gift or Good handset and no free gift.

Remember you are signing up to the contract for at least a year. Make sure the handset is up to what you want from it. Nothing worse than being stuck with a phone you hate in your pocket for a year.

Re: Any good phone deals with free PS3 slim?

The tarrifs for the PS3 slim are the same as they were for the normal PS3 a few months back. I was hoping with a drop in price the tarrifs offering the free PS3 would be cheaper. As i'm happy to trade off having a rubbish handset for a PS3 (the PS3 would provide me much more pleasure!).

I'm wondering if the tarrifs are going to get cheaper soon?

There's only one place doing this at the moment, but more are sure to follow, especially now Xmas is coming. The tariffs will get better when more places start doing this free ps3 slim deal.

Thanks for the awesome link!

Those are the cheapest ps3 slim deals I have seen, the only thing is a PS3 slim can be bought for £250 with several games, not the best games. and £220 without any games. So deduct the cost of the PS3 from the £360-£375 phone and tariff price and the cost of the total contract really comes to £140-£155 for 12 or 18 months. For that you get free phone and 300 or 500 minutes plus 200 or 375 texts per month.

Now the only thing we need to know, how much is this phone and tariff without the PS3? It may end up costing cheaper to buy the phone it self which means the PS3 isn't free, they just make it seem that way!!!

Of course they just make it seem that way.....

That's why if you take a sim-only contract it is much cheaper than the same tariff with a "free" phone.

try buymobilephones.net, ive just got free phone and ps3, but most seem to be on 18 or 24 month contract, the good thing with their site is you dont have to wait a month to get your free gift, they send you a voucher, and you recieve your free gift within 7 days, i wouldnt go anywhere else for a phone, god luck
