So is this illegal to ask and who might be interested?

Well i thought that when i got mine. But the PS3 was free - so was the phone. It comes with a 12 month contract for 25 a month. 12 times 25 is £300 - roughly the price of a PS3. So either the phone and all you mins are free - or the PS3 is free. I can't see a catch - unless u stay with them more than 12 months.

plowsie PM sent re what i got for mine.

The monthly rates being offered to me are a lot better than what I curently pay for my N73 and iPod Touch.

I went through "dialafone" which I think is part of carphone warehouse.

Plowsie. Just look at the economics of this here.

There's no such thing as a 'free' PS3. You're just paying for it over the term of your contract. SO you're effectively paying for a PS3 over the course of 18months, whilst taking the 'hit' of resale value.

If you're that short of cash I'd just opt for a low interest overdraft. It'll work out cheaper and you won't have the hassle of selling etc.

Paris isn't cheap at all, never-mind with the current Euro exchange rate. If you're that skint I'd sack in the idea, rather than be there skint for a few days. You won't be able to do much otherwise, and you'll just nail yourself financially.

Hey mate

Not short of cash, can live happily, but to chunk out some money for a holiday or something could put me short for the month. I've been to Paris before mate and know the risks of prices there £250 for 2 nights worth is fine Flights for two of us and stay for 2nights is just over £300.

We'll see.

As long as you're not just digging yourself in to massive debt then

But no, it's not illegal at all.

Hovis, you are so tight., Just go and buy a new phone ffs.

Oh and Plowsie, make sure you get a good deal on the phone. Most of them are 18 month contracts and possibly 24 month contracts and the tariffs are not he cheapest or have the best inclusive deals. Over the term you end up paying for the PS3 anyway, just be aware. The old phrase is...if it looks to good to be true, it is!

Those laptop deals are a rip off. You get basicaly a £400 laptop and end up over the 2 years paying in excess of £800 or there abouts!
