  Selected handsets on specific plans? Gee thanks for clearing that up. This isnt twitter mate, if you want to post a deal its common courtesy to atleast give a barebones description of what exactly you're offering, rather than just direct to the website.

  Basically you are paying for the PS3 yourself.
  You can get a handset at the fraction of the total commitment of the contract.

    I agree - unless you want a basic phone and need a high cost plan, they are just building the PS3 cost into the contract

    Yeah and they are very ordinary handsets.

    Yup, old & out of date handset. Not worth the plan's price. Basically you are paying for the PS3.

    And this Rep is damn lazy. I think he only considers Ozbargain as his spamming ground. Bad Bad Bad

  PS3 is 120GB. Doesn't state firmware version though…

  Here's a bit of a comparison, I just picked one to compare on:

  The $49 cap with BYO phone is sold for $34 through Optus or $18 through TPG (Optus network, no difference in last mile quality). The phone is $179.10 with Optus or $300 from Mobicity (I'm sure it could be cheaper elsewhere).

  Comparing Optus with Optus, you get a Playstation 3 for $180.90 ( ((49 - 34) * 24) - 179.1 ).

  Going for the cheapest "I want a PS3 and a Galaxy Ace on Optus", you are spending ~$400 on that PS3. That is, the Galaxy Ace from Mobicity for $300, and TPG's $18 plan over 24 months.

  i can advise that the nokia x3-02 is a P.O.S.

  Hirokuro on 16/02/2012 - 14:24 ¶

  Not a good deal at all. Comparison:

  $299 Optus Prepaid HTC Incredible S + $300 PS3 + $1440 Unlimited Prepaid Credit (data, calls, text to any network in Aus) + No contract/excess charges = $2040 (max)(cheaper if you don't use the phone everyday)

  Optus HTC Incredible S + 24 Month Plan Contract + PS3 + risk of excess charges (since it's not unlimited or prepaid) = $1896 (min)

  Definetly not a bargain.

  Have Optus got a fix for the HTC Incredible S reception issues if they are still selling them?
  I google the issue and Verizon put out a patch but I couldnt have anything for Optus.

  This is pretty similar to Their Xbox 360 campaign that they just finished. Neither seem to provide a bargain to customers.

  ricer69 on 16/02/2012 - 15:24 ¶

  Wouldn't consider this a bargain at all.

  i logged in just to neg this.. sorry Optus but your snufflin

  I must be the only happy person to finally see Optus has plans with PS3, sure it may not be a bargain.

    fluberries on 16/02/2012 - 17:05 ¶

    I guess to some its a benefit of not needing to pay for the ps3 upfront, similar to a buyersedge interest free deal, which I can see why there would be value to some consumers.

    However, being a site devoted to price reductions, I can't see how this post can be voted anything other than negative. Especially seeing the Rep completely disregarded any instructions on how to post deals.

      Way to encourage them, perhaps pointing them in the direction of the rules would be a good step

  diddy50 on 17/02/2012 - 13:00 ¶

  will it be cheap to get the $29 plan and sell the ps3 and keep my current shitty phone???

  or is it cheaper to just go on the BYO $19 plan for the same value
