Arcade Xbox 360 for R1699 at the opening of the new Game at Vincent Park for those in the EL area. They probably have some others at a discount also. Probably.

I am going to wait for mid to end December. I think they will be some good specials on around that time.

Thinking of getting a PS3 this December, will check out this thread regularly. Hopefully I find a great bundle package.
What about the Playstation 3 Move bundle (with eye camera, move controller and sport championship), is that available in SA yet?

Well standard offerings these days are R2999 for console + R699 for move starter pack. so the amount to beat is R3700; seems do-able with all the crazy specials being offered at the moment.

Still not a 100% sure if a PS3 is the way to go now...might rather opt to get a new TV. The high pricing of PS3 titles is definitely a factor (& backward compatibility).
I just wanna ask about the PS3 as media player, it has blu-ray, dvd playback. How about video playback does it have .mkv playback, this is what I got, but not sure if DivX includes .mkv.

Anyway here is a deal I found:
Toys r Us
PS3 320GB + Mod Nation Racer + Ratchet & Clank ACIT + Motor Storm - R3,899.90

MKV is just the container. It can hold data encoded using various codecs. In your case, I think you mean MKV that holds H.264 HD video + AAC or AC3 audio. While the PS3 supports both H.264, AAC and AC3, it doesn't support MKV.

To get the benefit of HD video, you can use MP4 as a container for H.264 and AAC, or M2TS as a container for H.264 and AC3.

In terms of hard drive size, I don't think you really need 320 GB unless you plan on storing video on your PS3. I have a 120 GB slim, and still have plenty of space, with loads of "installed" games and a good couple of GBs of video.
