I saw this on LazyGamer.co.za

Next order of business...Take a copy of "Die Beeld" and head over to your friendly Game store and ask them for a pricebeat. :)

I printed the add I posted here & Took P&P Hyper in Klerksdorp's number with me. The 1st game in town only had the bundled version which doesn't count...but the 2nd one had the exact same offer - so I asked to see it first, then asked if they did pricebeats.

The oke was shocked when I showed him the advert ... took him about 10mins of phoning around and checking with managers and confirming stock with P&P, but he finally gave it to me AND beat the price.

Now megots a 120GB PS3 slim for R2149. :D

I doubt there'd be any left dude.

Btw, phone the klerksdorp branch, see if they still have in stock that you can ask Game to pricebeat for you. They're not happy to do it, but they did it for me and another guy on mybb...and it's R150 cheaper :D

To all those wishing to get a PS3 at sub-R2300 prices, try the following:

Find a copy of the advertisement that was run yesterday. Phone th PnP head-office and demand to know where they have PS3s in stock. Write down the names and numbers of the branches, as well as the amount of stock available. Go to Dion Wired (or Game) WITH the advertisement in hand and demand that they honour their beat-any-price-policy *. Tell them which PnP Hyper branches have stock and give them the numbers to phone if they don't believe you. They'll (not so) merrily prance of to their store-rooms, come back and tell you "Eish, sorry, no stooock". Fight with them for 40 minutes or so and demand to see the stock numbers on their stock management systems. Realize that they have 11 saleable units available, thank them for the PS3 and be on your way home to PS3-gaming bliss... :D

* Note that the policy is subject to:
- Having a valid advertisement / written quotation from competing store.
- The competing store having stock available of the specific product, at the specified price.
- The written advertisement / written quotation is less than 21 days old.

Less "DEMANDING" and more courtesy also helps. I got mine just fine that way. :)

Trust me, the "courtesy" option went right out the window when they gave me lip upon showing them the advertisement... Then my wife got agitated. ;)

What an amazing special, and only a week after I bought my xbox, is that not always the case:o

Dude you were better off buying the Xbox :)

The PS3 controller just feels the same as it did 15 years ago.

No Stock anywhere in Durban :( I tried getting one. My bro even tried in JHB. there isnt any stock as well :(

The bastards at pick and pay probably had like 3 in store and advertised a special lol

The trick to doing this is when you present them with the advertisement, which categorically states "while stocks last", you have to supply them with the telephon number of a P&P Hypermarket that actually has stock.

So you'll have to go through the list of hypermarkets (as I did) to find one that still has stock. I highly doubt any would have left - but can't hurt you to phone the one in Klerksdorp.

Good Luck.

So far I'm not overly impressed with the PS3 compared to my Xbox. I think it's partially because I can't get the HDMI settings to work on my screen - even though it works fine on my Xbox.

Well there goes that special that we will never see again... then again there is roumors of the xbox slim which is gonna be dirt cheap and with natal on the way, it might be better waiting for that next

Yeah, most stores had very limited stock and it sold quickly. The best option was to find some branch that still had one, then hotfoot it to the nearest Game and get them on the phone to that store.

Yep that's what I did...only store I could find with stock was Klerksdorp. Hooray for R150 price cut on P&P's price from game :D
