Well the only thing that pains me is how the PS3 gets hot in like 5 minutes.

Why does that pain you? Is it resting in your lap as you use it?:lol:

If you notice, it only gets hot on one side, the top half stays as cool as the room temperature. I noticed and i found that very interesting, that displays its well designed cooling system. The warm air from the cpu, gpu has to go somewhere and its design keeps the warm air from reaching any other part of the system.
 
While we get a better deal on the console here, the bundle price isn't nearly as good as you get. It was $100 more and all you got was one extra controller, and just one far less appealing game, Genji: DOB

For 50€ ($70) your bundle also comes with an extra controller and two of the current best selling games for PS3.

If you really could care less about the extra controller (assuming you really never expect anyone over for some 2-person gaming), and could care less about the games, you should be able to sell them all for about 125€. That would at least get it down to around 575€.

I wonder if the current BDA promotion for five free Blu-ray movies with a purchase of a PS3 also applies to Europe. If so, you could sell those five new and sealed Blu-ray movies for around $125€.

That would get you down to around 450€.

I have to eat my words. I just saw that at least Costco now has a new 60GB PS3 bundle:
  • 60GB PS3
  • Resistance: Fall Of Man
  • MotorStorm
  • Extra Wireless Controller
  • Sony Component Cable
  • 5 Blu-ray Movies
All for only $670.... $30 less than what I paid for my bundle back in November, and this cheaper one comes with an extra game (both a lot better as well) and $250 worth of extra stuff that mine didn't come with. :grumpy:
