PS3 is now by far the better deal (I am talking hardware for money and not games content - before anyone starts a fight). Prices of both will drop again by Christmas.

Surely it's time for Nintendo to consider dropping the price of the Wii? It may have strong sales (for now), but looking at £250 for a PS3 and £200 for the Xbox 360, the Wii looks horribly overpriced.

That Sainsbury offer looks like the thing I've waited three years for...

It's about time the bloke on the street was treated equally, i'm personally fed up of being treated differently because i choose to nip down the local store and pick up my goods in the flesh, i can buy online if i want and sometimes do but it really should be a secondary option (which includes free p&p) but doesn't include a big discount because someone feels the need to slap something extra on top for sending it out to the store.

And yes the price on the street is the one that needs to be reduced, not the online one boosting.

When you consider the storage they'll have to pay for, rent on the stores, bills; all of which they wont have to deal with when it comes to online shopping, you can be grateful the price difference is as small as it is.
