    Exclamation PS3 120gb for R1999 at IC ... is this legit?

    Hi friends,

    So I saw that IC has an online add out to sell PS3 120GB consoles for R2k.

    This reminds me of when Game advertised a Nikon L100 for R1999. I was there at door opening only to find it was a "misprint". Apparently, South Africa's laws against false advertising aren't stringent enough, as the manager was like, "sorry, you can have it for R2999".

    Make sure before you go to the effort. "certain stores only" makes me think it might be a store opening promo. where like the 1st 1 customer through the door gets it at that price. The rest pay the normal 4K plus. Incredible corruption...wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw Fat Bastard.


    Core2Duo E8400 3Ghz, ASUS P5Q/SE MOBO, 3Gigs or RAM (800Mhz), Asus ATI RADEON 4850 512MB, 2X 500GB HDDs, Windows 7 Ultimate

    OMG!

    You also queried that Nikon cam.

    I got a bulldust mention that they were all sold out at Game.

    So to avoid major lawsuits they just came out with that nonsense.

    I should have insisted on a raincheck.

    That Incredible Corruption deal sounds too good to be true....

    It probably is......... (ATT:4 PS3's only written in fine print.)

    It looks legit, they must be clearing old stock.

    That's actually perfect, all you do is the same as what I did last time when I got my PS3 for R2150. P&P Hyper was selling it for R2300 and we don't have a hyper here. So I printed out the ad, took it to game and asked for a price-beat.

    So technically you can pick it up for R1830 from Game. And it won't be refurbished.
