[EB Games] Pre-Owned 12GB PS3 + 8 Games for $198 + Delivery (GTA 5, GT5, God of War 3 + More)

450

Pre-owned 12GB PS3 console + 1 controller + 8 pre-owned games:

Grand Theft Auto 5
FIFA 13
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Batman: Arkham City
Gran Turismo 5
God of War III
Killzone 2
Uncharted 2

Console comes with with a 3 month warranty (refund or replacement). Pretty sure games have a 12 month warranty (correct me if I'm wrong). Shipping varies but I'm getting $7.50 to 4870 which is NE QLD. You may actually be able to buy this and resell it on Ebay for profit.

12GB is quite small, so a spare HDD might make your life easier

    Lol 12gb console. Shame you could fit about half of one of the 8 games on it

    • +2

      It's correct. For GTA V for example, you would not be able to play GTA Online anymore without upgrading the HDD (not difficult, but still extra cost) because the patches got so large it exceeded the 12GB limitation.

    Don't forget to grab Halo Spartan Assault while its free when you get back from EB games

      Glad to see you're still staying true to your username :D

    Are all those games even playable with 12GB?

    • yeah, but you might have to play one game at the time and deleting game saves ect.

      gta5 is 8.5gb from memory and thats the highest out of the lot

    • Not for GTA 5. It requires 8GB to install the base game, and does not include all the new content.

      Other games, I have no idea.

  • I'd rather get this instead and install CFW https://ebgames.com.au/ps3-151785-320GB-PlayStation-3-preown…

      Why down vote for someone sharing their opinion?

      Edit- Oh the jailbreak mention :p

    • yea ops deal sounds like a hassle. Install rogero or habib cfw with the external hard drives on offer these days. Less hassle and less kapish

  • -3

    So it's severely restricted as a device (1 game installed at a time from what people say? … ugh). Then you add a HDD for another say $70 so now it's $268.

    This is a terrible deal IMO. Would be better off spending a little more and getting a second hand PS4.

      1 game installed at a time from what people say? … ugh

      No… they stated GTA 5 is 8gb. The rest are older games that don't take up much space at all.

      getting a second hand PS4

      Good luck playing those PS3 games on it!

      • What PS3 games?

        • +3

          The eight PS3 games included in the $198.

    • Yes, a PS4 on which you can play God of War 3. Of course, you'll be paying $80 for this 6 year old PS3 game on that console. Oh, when you get your PS4, be sure to pick up the good PS4 'exclusive games' such as The Last of Us, the Uncharted Collection, Little Big Planet 3, GTA5,and the Borderlands Handsome Collection BECAUSE EVERYTHING GOOD ON PS4 IS A REMAKE.

      "Severely restricted as a device - buy a PS4"? Just go away man.

    Would there really be anyone is the world with an interest in these games that hasn't already played them? MW2, Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 are 6 years old, GoW3 and GT5 are 5 years old, Arkham City is 4 years old, FIFA is the same game that comes out every year, and every man and his dog has played GTA V.

    You could pick a similar package for ~$100 on gumtree. Save your money and put it towards a current gen console.

      You could pick a similar package for ~$100 on gumtree.

      Any chance of sufficient quantity from Gumtree?

      Would there really be anyone is the world with an interest in these games that hasn't already played them?

      I bought this package today. So yes.

      • I'm clearly not advocating putting a Gumtree post on Ozbargain, I'm just saying that there are better deals to be had if you're after a second hand console with a bunch of games.

        • I didn't say you were. I was explaining why your negative vote was invalid. Gumtree would have to had the same deal/package for a cheaper price with at least 10 quantity in order for your reason to neg to be valid.

    • -1

      The games perhaps, but not the console with warranty , apples and oranges

    • +4

      The neg button is for when something is objectively a bad deal, not 'I've played those games so everyone has'

      This is pretty competitive with Ebay / Gumtree and comes with a warranty (and less dealing with dirtbags)

    • +2

      I'm still keen to play GTA V. I haven't because I got a next gen console at launch and assumed it'd come to those consoles, which it did. Just waiting for the price to drop since I have other games to play in the meantime.

      In any event, people grabbing this deal likely don't own a PS3, so yeah, there's a good chance they haven't played those games.

    Guide to install cfw?

    • Last I looked which admittedly was a while ago this cannot be downgraded to 3.55 by any means at all so CFW is a no go.

  • cant really see how this is a bargain?

    • -4

      Well, if you look closely, the 12GB PS3 is going for $120+ on Ebay. All 8 games are worth about $20 each brand new, a tiny bit more for GTA 5. So that's $160. The package is worth $280 retail and you're getting it for $200ish.

    Wow, that's a massive waste of money. No wonder EB games struggles.

    • -1

      struggles for what exactly? Your perception of how they operate?

    • +2

      EB games don't operate for ozbargain or serious gamers
      they operate for mums and dads who have kids, and the annoy them to buy games or pre owned games!

  • +1

    Not gonna shop at eb games again after reading how management treat staff, and deal with grievances.

    • There is a lot of speculation about one of those 5 staff being less than company material, funny how that never made the article isn't it?

  • not exactly a bargain…

    • Of course it isn't; it's out of stock.

        be gentle, google his username :)
