Whats the best price someone has found for a ps3, online or in-store?

Q. I'm looking to buy a ps3 soon, i dont mind what hard drive it is, but has anyone found a really good price for one, also, a decent hdtv price might be useful

thanks

A. 120GB Slimline PS3 for £249.99 at GAME:
http://www.game.co.uk/PS3/Hardware/~r343273/Sony-Playstation-3-120GB-Slim-Console/

Thats real good for 120GB, and its slimline :)

I can't find any cheap originals though

Edit: From GAME, there's either the 120GB slimline, or 80GB normal + 1 game for the same price, so its a choice of more memory and slimline, or less and a free game


What if government set a minimum price for all items and used price control to make things affordable?
Q. For instance, government officials would get together every year and decide that there companies must provide an HDTV that costs at least $200. Companies could make more expensive stuff, but government would make sure that everything always stays affordable and nothing could ever be too expensive for standard stuff. Would that work?

A. It never has yet. What happens is that a government with that much power and control (authoritarian) and which subscribes to price controls is usually left-wing, and it sets prices not by how much things cost, but based on political considerations of gaining the support of the poor (which they create more of) while cursing the greed of the corporations.

The number of goods available at the controlled price usually decreases, while a black market for those goods is created.

That is what happens when a government decides to control prices.


How much will a really good suround sound setup for my hdtv cost?
Q. Im getting a new hdtv and I want some nice speakers,but im use to high-end headphones so im going to need something that sounds better than average,how much would it cost?

A. If you want quality you're diffidently looking at $400+

You have stated surround sound, so I'm not counting proper home theater systems.

I am using a 5.1 Logitech G51 surround sound system at the moment. The sound quality and subwoofer are above average. And the power of the speakers are acceptable enough to be compared to home theater systems. It costed me $350 when I bought it. It should only cost about $150 these days. There are newer models now with more power. Look into the z5500 aswell.

If you want an proper quality home theater system you're looking at $800+

Recommend brands
- Sony
- Pioneer (Best)
- Yamaha (Best)

You'll find many home theater systems from those brands ranging from $800 to many thousands depending on your quality expectations.

The first link is a Panasonic brand. Not the BEST, but it's still a reliable brand. For the price, the sound quality will be decent to say the least, but it will go loud. (1000Watts) is plenty of raw power. Also consider the speaker types. These are little speakers, similar to the logitech g51 recommendation above.

This link is when we start getting into truly 'quality' home theater systems. Notice big speakers. It's has less power than 1000Watt but the sound quality and the brand will make it just as loud and good. 800Watts is still very very loud.

It all depends on how you feel about quality. The best thing to do would be to go into the store with a music player and ask to test different types of systems to see what you like.

Good luck
