Play.com (http://www.play.com/Search.html?searchtype=allproducts&searchsource=0&searchstring=Playstation+3) has the 120GB and 160GB versions of the console on their own for £185.99 and 189.99 respectively. But your best bet is probably one of its bundles. For £234.99 you can pick up the 320GB console along with the PlayStation Move: Starter Pack. Or for the same price, you can choose the console with Uncharted 2 and Killzone 3, or Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time and ModNation Racers.
GAME has also put together a few pretty good bundles for in-store pick-up. The PS3 320GB with Ferrari Challenge, FIFA 11 and either Infamous 2, Killzone 3 or Motorstorm will set you back £249.99. If that doesn't win you over you can pick up a 160GB Slim for £179.99 when purchasing any new or pre-owned game or opt for a 320GB Slim for £229.99 when buying a new or pre-owned title. Trade in an original PS3 you'll get £100 trade-in credit towards a new Slim model.
