    I have no clue why anyone would want to trade a 160GB for a 12GB. Unless your unit is on deaths door.

    12gb or 500gb model….

    Love the gap there aye :/

    what a rip off so they want you to trade a almost new * i say this coz the 320 and 160gb models are fairly recent models
    which are retailing for $350 *just for the console     for 200 $ then you pay an extra $98 for a smaller i assume memory stick

  • Rodgort on 20/09/2012 - 13:59

    $300 for a 12gb? lolno. Is there anything to justify getting this over a slim? Right now the price for the cheaper version is absolutely horrible.

    • sparkles on 20/09/2012 - 14:04

      Yeah, seems like they've increased the price (based on that I fairly recently paid $225 for 160GB slim) and made the unit absolute bare bones. Unless some amazing package deals come along there is no motivation to "upgrade" from a 160GB slim. I'd be holding out for Target, Kmart, and Big W Xmas packages and forget about EB.

  • justtoreply on 20/09/2012 - 14:04

    Think of it as a warranty refresh?

    Still only makes sense if you want the extra controller / some games.

    Award for the most confusing title. :p

    • justtoreply on 20/09/2012 - 14:06

      Shrug. I understood it just fine.

      maybe "= $98" rather than "- $98" would have been better.

      Alternatively I suppose
      $98-198 for New Look PS3 with extras when trading slim 160gb PS3

    how is this a good deal??? its a total rip off.

  • ironworthy on 20/09/2012 - 14:10

    Wtf? 12G, is Sony trolling us? No wonder this company's at deaths door

    • lostn on 20/09/2012 - 14:14

      It's more than the 8GB in the Wii U model at least, and their higher model is only 32GB.

      • Monger on 20/09/2012 - 14:50
        +1

        and it's 3 times the 4gb xbox 360

      • mp3police on 20/09/2012 - 14:55

        its expandable

        • Rodgort on 20/09/2012 - 14:58

          I'm not sure about this model, but the slim and the phat model you could swap the hard drive out. So unless the Wii U supports that, and not just SD cards it's not comparable.

        • lostn on 22/09/2012 - 14:24

          its expandable

          So is this.

          However, the Wii U only expands to external HDDs via USB (2.0 most likely). PS3s you can add an internal SATA HDD, which is far more elegant than having another device dangling off it (and possibly faster also). External HDD attached to a console is very ghetto and IMO is inexcuseable in 2012. Why can't they make room for an internal, or just include one?

    • Rodgort on 20/09/2012 - 14:56

      They're not going to call it quits because they were in the red for one fiscal year.

  • Wickzki49 on 20/09/2012 - 14:12

    Wonder how much the trade in for the 320GB console for the new 500GB console and games is? Not listed.

    You have to be a fool to trade in your perfectly fine and working PS3 160GB and give them $200 for this. You don't gain anything new except an upgrade in HDD space (which you can get cheaper by switching the drive yourself).

    Come to think of it, any trade in deal at EB is a rip off.

    • Wickzki49 on 20/09/2012 - 19:29

      $198 for two games that they sell for $186 combined ($88 (Borderlands 2) and $98 (FIFA 13)) and the major hard drive upgrade is not too bad. Enough people purchase games through EB anyway to make it a worthwhile deal.

    ALL EB Games trade in's are a rip off

  • Herbse on 20/09/2012 - 14:20

    but it's the new ps3

  • Benno123 on 20/09/2012 - 14:23

    What a joke.

    Only good if your PS3 is having problems.

    I think thats exactly what it is: "New Look" only…
    Sony prolly updated FW & blocked usb jailbreaking too.

    EB never have good deals. I said it loudly in store and even the employee agreed that they are ripoffs lol

  • uraha on 20/09/2012 - 14:52

    perfect, time to trade in my faulty ps3

    • sparkles on 20/09/2012 - 15:12

      In other words, never buy a secondhand PS3 from EB.

  • Twisty on 20/09/2012 - 15:23

    Not really a deal seeing its the normal price and it will only get cheaper when they take the games away from it

  • manbearpig on 20/09/2012 - 15:32

    I wish EB would hurry up and just go out of business already. Sorry OP, not your fault. Also, I see absolutely no benefit in this 'deal'. You really don't get anything.

    • BlackV8SS on 20/09/2012 - 15:50

      I thought $198 for a warranty refresh, latest design, 2 extra genuine wireless controllers and 2 games (1 brand new) was pretty good.

      2x controllers cost $49 ea
      Borderlands2 will cost $89

      Seems legit to me?

      • Rodgort on 20/09/2012 - 16:39
        -2

        I highly recommend you check out ozgameshop. In other words, start importing your PS3 games as you'll save a small fortune.

        • Tal_Shiar on 25/09/2012 - 13:31

          Ozgameshop don't post anything bulky derp

  • swandive on 27/09/2012 - 02:57

    Was just wondering…
    At EB games you could buy the 160gb slim PS3 preowned for $209. So you could possibly purchase that and trade it in to essentially get a 500gb HDD upgrade, 2 games and a controller free?

    • dy4me on 27/09/2012 - 17:40

      what sort of maths did you use?

      $209 for the pre owned PS3

      $399 for the new 500GB PS3

      so thats 209-399 = $190
