People kept saying to me "Oooh, you'll want to snap up those 60GB versions, they're so much better blah blah blah", but at £500+ I don't think they're *that* much better.. the games will play just the same, as will Blu-Ray movies, and that's what the console is about after all. You can still load music and photos onto the 40GB one just as you would a computer (via a standard USB port), it still has wi-fi and wired networking, but for me the clinchers are lower power demands which means quieter fan and lower heat output. The fact that it's much quieter means that I can comfortably leave it running Folding@Home in my room at night without it keeping me awake. Folding@Home is included with the 40GB model, or can be downloaded from the Stanford University Folding@Home website. The current price of £279 with a HDMI cable that desertcart are selling at matches anything you're likely to find on the high street, beating most of the chain stores like GAME and GameStation, in fact only HMV came close but their game selection was rubbish at my local store, and I would still have been about £15 out of pocket had I bought from them. I sourced Motor Storm and Resistance Fall of Man on desertcart for roughly £24 each and Oblivion Game of the Year Edition for £33, all brand new. No shops or eBay sellers could match that (in fact those prices are the typical 2nd-hand price for those games on eBay). One thing I would say though is that the 40GB can soon be filled with game data, downloads from PS3 Store, and also demos from the cover of a magazine - just one disc's worth has filled about 20GB, Oblivion uses about 5GB for game data. I have heard that it's possible to easily replace the existing hard drive with a much larger capacity one via a small flap and one screw without voiding the warranty, and dual-boot with PS3 or Linux is officially supported by Sony. The hard drive management utilities are good - there's the capability to format, backup, all sorts. UPDATE: Having had the console for a few months now and really gotten to grips with it, I can say I'm very impressed with the non-gaming features it contains, particularly the photo album presentations and it's capabilities when playing movie files (I use DivX). Motorstorm plays brilliantly online, Oblivion is excellent (but I advise everyone to avoid the Game of the Year Edition as it contains too many glitches) and now I'm just waiting for GTA IV to arrive in the post so that'll be another few months' worth of sheer joy! Review: Great Machine, it's like a supercharged car - OK so i've had a Wii since about Feb this year. It's a great machine with some good games, a few great games and a lot of rubbish. I decided to buy a PS3 to compliment the Wii after a lot of research comparing the PS3 to the Xbox 360. I finally settled on the PS3 for a number of reasons, firstly this deal with fifa08 is great with the free hdmi lead. The machine itself is very quiet you can hear the disc reading and thats about it. It comes with blu-ray so no need to buy a seperate player and playback on blu-ray is great, i've tried it with the movie 300. It's more reliable than a Xbox 360 at least from all the reviews i've read, hardly any mention any PS3 problems and the xbox 360 seems to be hit and miss, I personally know someone who is on to their fourth in a year but equally know someone else who's never had any problems with the Xbox so the build consistency seems suspect and I didn't want a machine that could potentially break down every few months. The PS3 machine itself runs reasonable cool as long as there's decent ventilation, even after a few hours its not hot at all. It's build quality is exceptional, it's solid, you could probably drop it and it would survive. It looks great in the living room. It's going to get DivX support soon. If you need more disk space, you can easily add a new hard disk and replace the existing one without invalidating your warranty. OK it doesn't have as many games as the Xbox 360 and most of the games are ported from the 360, however I think next year we'll see a change. It's got innovation like the Wii with tilt controller for driving games and the new eye cam. It's also cheaper than the Xbox360 if you want to add the Xbox's HD player to the package, plus blu-ray is Disney exclusive so for people with kids this format is probably essential. In conclusion i'm glad I chose the PS3 over the Xbox and it does compliment my Wii as a different gaming experience, Fifa08 on the Wii is terrible but on the PS3 it's great, the Wii is more family fun, whereas the PS3 is great for online and solo play. Both machines are excellent in their own way, but I don't see the point of having a Xbox360 and a PS3 as they are too similar. ## Features - PS3 system - SIXAXIS (1x) - AC power cord - AV cable - USB cable - Euro AV Connector Plug (Scart block) - Printed Materials (Quick Start Guide etc.) ## Images ![Sony Playstation 3 Console (40GB Version) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91E8c4dbn2L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with a controller?** A: *SIXAXIS (1x) is the controller (Yes in answer to your question) **Q: is this real** A: Yes Martin it's real.

When arrived it came looking like they just threw it in the box with no care and it came with a completely broke cheap looking plug in controller that did not work, when I went to use it it seemed to work well so I became happy until about 2 months later when I got a red light of death and it completely stopped working tried to fix it but no luck and cause of that I could not return it so I had to bin the whole console, I would not buy from this buyer not very good. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/65394595-sony-playstation-3-console-40gb-version](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/65394595-sony-playstation-3-console-40gb-version) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
