Hi, everybody. As some people already know, I’m going to travel to the USA in January and I plan on buying a PS3. However, there a few things I don’t know and buying abroad (this will be the first time I travel to another country) is always more complicated than at your own country and I was hoping some of you could help me.

 

Also, with the price of the dollar currently rising against my country’s currency, I probably will only be able to buy the PS3 and maybe a game. So, I want to get the best possible deal.

 

Here are my questions (a lot of them, sorry):

 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1)      <!--[endif]-->Are there bundles at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc. (like to get the PS3 with a game or an extra controller for 399 dollars)? These will be my main stores to look for it because they appear to be everywhere in the US.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2)      <!--[endif]-->Do stores like Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc. sell cheaper used games?

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3)      <!--[endif]-->Are the taxes in Florida (that’s where I’m going) 7% of everything I buy?

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4)      <!--[endif]-->Do all those stores have PSN cards for sale?

<!--[if !supportLists]-->5)      <!--[endif]-->Does the PS3 come with a headset? If not, can you recommend a cheap one?

<!--[if !supportLists]-->6)      <!--[endif]-->Does the PS3 come with any demo or PSN game already on the HDD?

<!--[if !supportLists]-->7)      <!--[endif]-->Is there a lot of people still playing Warhawk (like anytime I try I will find hundreds of people playing it)? I really want to play this game. Especially since it’s cheaper now and will give hours and hours of fun, since it will be awhile before I can get another game.

 

If you can help me even with just one of those questions, it will be a great help and I’ll really appreciate it.

 

Thanks to everybody in advance.

 

PS – If anyone knows of any good deal or good store around the Kissimmee, Florida area , please let me know, because that is where I will be staying. Thanks again.

 

I can answer a couple of your questions.  Both Best Buy and Gamestop sell PSN cards.  Gamestop sells used games, I don't think the other stores sell used games yet.  The PS3 does not come bundled with a headset, but any usb headset will work.  I have the jabra bluetooth headset that shipped with Warhawk and it is pretty good.  I last played Warhawk a month ago and I didn't have a problem finding a game.  Good luck with your PS3.

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.
