Gamestop! Get rid of any old stuff you have and trade it in. I always do that and don't bother keeping stuff that just collects dust. My last trade in round got me the Nexus 7 for only 114 bucks from 249 when it first came out. The prices on the ps3 should drop soon too.

Just made the purchase from amazon. They had the 160gb slim for $278 shipped.

I would've bought it used if I knew the seller played with it a couple hrs here and there and decided its not their cup of tea. Ehh w/e

Can't believe how many people are recommending GameStop. I guess you guys really don't shop around. GameStop has the worst pricing around, gives you dirt for trading games in and their stock almost never goes on sale. You're better selling your used games on ebay. I bought one game for $40, then sold it on ebay a month later for $38.

Buying wise I get all mine at amazon, new egg when they have sales and same with target. I'd also keep a watch on slickdeals.net. They always have videogame stuff posted up when games go on sale.

I found a better deal at RadioShack so I canceled my order on amazon lol. For $30 more I could buy a ps3 320gb and it comes with a freaking game (uncharted 3)! Sheesh, I need to keep shopping around.

I also think GameStop is a rip off especially since I found the previous deals.

^ they're slacking on updating their website though. I tried to order one this morning and it showed it was in stock till I went through the entire process (billing, address, email) and then it said out of stock lol. I ended up purchasing it at J&R, new 320gb with mw3 for the same price.
