If you don't factor girth into your console purchasing decisions, then SonyStyle has the best deal on a PlayStation 3 we've seen to date -- for just $249, you can pick up a 80GB PS3 Phat and an additional DualShock 3 controller. Sure, it may lack the svelteness and hard drive space of the PS3 Slim, but for a $50 discount and a free controller, we think it's well worth the trade-off.
Equally tantalizing is the 160GB PS3 Drake's Fortune Bundle, which includes Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, a voucher a free download of Pain and an additional DualShock 3 controller for $349. Again, if you don't mind the additional chunky pounds, an added $50 on top of the PS3 Slim cost is a small price to pay for these savory bonuses. Hell, if they'd throw in the David Hasselhoff Pain DLC, we'd probably buy two.

Size doesn't matter, if it works the same way.

The $249 deal was out of stock about an hour before this article went up. The other guys posted it much earlier and I'm sure Sony's stock quickly disappeared. But hey, more PS3's in the market is a great thing.

too bad they cant keep this deal going forever... 250 is the sweet spot for consoles imo...

It's like the Macbook Air...some people put a huge premium on the size/weight savings, whereas the average consumer will balk at the cost.

WTH...I grab a 40 gb for $219 as a gift or whatnot, and then a few weeks later, this comes up?

I paid less, but I could've gotten a better deal for just a little bit more (plus I'm presuming the 80 gb is not refurbished...not that there's a huge physical difference at that point, but psychologically, as a buyer, it always feels slightly inferior to go refurb).

why on earth would you buy a ps3 when you could get the innovative, technologically advanced, highly touted and critically acclaimed pspGo! for the exact same price???

Just for the record...
It's not an additional controller since the controller comes with it anyway.
