I'm replacing my YLOD PS3 and I miss all the black friday deals, should I wait for some Christmas deals or do you think it won't be any and I should just go ahead and buy it?

 

Some extra info: I can only buy the PS3 Super Slim Uncharted 3 bundle since it weights below 8.8 pounds (in the retail box) and then I won't have to pay insane amounts of taxes when I import this to my country in South America. I just found out about this and thats why I miss the BF deals, I also want to this bundle http://www.amazon.com/Family-Entertainment-Bundle-Exclusive-PlayStation-3/dp/B009DYE3JI/ref=sr_tr_sr_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355890989&sr=8-1&keywords=ps3+bundle but I don't know if it weights below 8.8 pounds, If anyone knows please let me know, thanks.

Why not message Amazon directly and ask them?

Just wait for Christmas deals. Even if they don't have any it's not like you will have to wait a long time. Only a week before Christmas.

Just wait until Christmas week if not but it afterwards.

Amazon actually has a pretty good deal atm.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009APQ9QK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?t=slicinc-20&tag=slicinc-20&ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Its the 320gig slim, not super slim, for $250. Personally I think the slim is a better and more reliable looking console than the flimsy looking super slim.

It comes with 1 year of playstation plus which is nice.

If you already have the Uncharted and Infamous games its as good a deal as the $200 black friday bundles, considering 1 year of ps+ costs $50 and this has a bigger harddrive.

Thank you  enrageorange but unfourtanetaly the normal slim model is too heavy and for import tax reasons in my country I would have to pay around 200$ extra, the new super slim is below the limit so I'll only have to pay for the shipping.

 

I'm thinking of buying this bad boy right now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PS3-250-GB-FACTORY-FRESH-UNCHARTED-BUNDLE-FREE-SHIPPING-/281040746970?pt=Video_Games&hash=item416f5579da

Its at 230$ and I'm feeling there's not going to be any more deals for the super slim model.

There are good deals out now that are considered "Christmas deals".

If you aren't a PS+ member, then next month Sony is launching a white PS+ PS3 in the states for $299.
