Ps3 costs 500$ where you live?!?

Try imports located in some other countries first. There were some problems with the original 60 gbs. I wouldn't want it to hurt your experience.

Plus, like another poster said, you will not be getting any kind of a guarantee on your purchase. Also, you said the system came with FF? The movie?

Trust me, pay the extra and protect your investment.

 

Things are expansive in Sweden

 

The system came with the Japanese Final Fantasy Advent Children + Final Fantasy XIII demo bundle.

Egh, XIII demo. Just get a proper 80gb non bc with higher reliablity, cooler, warranty... screw BC when you can get a PS2 dirt cheap.

You'll get Advent Children on BD in EU too if you want it.

Well, I will probably wait, save up more money and buy a new PS3 and a new American PS2. It may take a while but at the end of this year I WILL BE PS3WII!!! You just have to wait for me

I have no interest in the movie, just wanted the demo as a collectors item XD

I suggest you wait as well, buy it later this year, they'll move to 45nm soon, meaning cooler and less power consuming.

Out of this bundle, I actually want the movie.

In some countries you can expand warranty with certain companies for 5 years, like I've done in Holland.

You can get a PS3 for about 320 € in UK with one game at amazon.co.uk

I have been thinking of getting a PS3 for a very, very long time so I can play Valkyria Chronicles and Metal Gear Solid 4.

The only thing really stoping me is the evil price tag. I don't have the money (I'm poor )

But as of late people in Sweden seems to have gone mad and are selling PS3's for disturbing low prices.

 

 

 Do U mean used PS3s? Where and for how much? Var, och hur många kronor.

you're welcome.
Although I really want you to enjoy the ps3 experience, I really don't want you to be disappointed if it breaks. That would be worst case scenario.

Try importing in territories with different currencies, they tend to have very different prices. Hold off on ps2 until you get the money, you can order ff13 demo from japan, and get mgs4 online for cheap. Don't feel the need to get everything at once.

lots of luck mate.
