The deal is splendid but they don’t have enough for it to be a deal of the day or no matter what they are calling it. I just hope the next time they release a huge voucher item they either stagger the release or have more of them available.

I’ve been waiting since last month to get the 120 GB PS3 for $299, but wanted to wait at least till black Friday to see if Amazon makes the deal any sweeter. And now the wait has paid off. Only regret I have is that I should have waited for the iPod Nano as well. Just found out Amazon dropped the price to $134 with extra chargers. I paid $139 for just the Nano last week. Ok, it’s only $5 difference, but still makes you feel bummed for missing out on a deal.

Ok I really don’t know everybody’s claim that this is a splendid deal… Unless my math is incorrect you can get this system for $299.99, and each game for at most $59.99… By my math that’s a total of $419.97 making it alot less than the posted price of $599.99. Am I completely missing something? Even if they made it the 250 GB PS3 slim it would still only add $50 to the 420 and still make it cheaper… I mean please somebody clarify to me how this is a deal?
P.S. Both sports meeting can be had groundbreaking new for 49.99 lowering their price even further…

Yup, with the price drop and the included splendid sports meeting this is a can’t miss deal that amazon has place together for anyone ready to finally make the step up to a PS3 for themselves or a loved one. That is of course unless you missed the deal because of the limited stock Amazon offers. What a missed opportunity by Amazon (and other retailers as well like walmart and gamestop)by only making a few bundles available. I was ready to load up on this splendid offer and other peripherals and sports meeting (totaling close to what this bundle is alone). But since the offer is already expired I’m mandatory to take my affair elsewhere. Hopefully one of these merchants realizes the opportunity here and makes a similar bundle available before christmas. IF they do, they will get my cash. Pleased hunting everyone
