Free Playstation 3
There are no free Playstation 3 deals available with home broadband at the moment.

NOT content with just giving away free laptops, AOL / Carphone Warehouse is now offering new subscribers to their Broadband Wireless Plus packages a free Sony PlayStation 3.
AOL’s free PlayStation 3 is worth around £350 and comes with a 40GB hard drive, Blu-ray drive, enabling users to watch high-definition movies, a free game, Blu-ray HD movie and a wireless controller.
It can also be used to store photos, music and videos and to access online gaming.
The success of AOL’s ‘free laptop’ offer has prompted AOL to offer potential subscribers to their Broadband Wireless Plus service a festive incentive to sign-up, with all orders received before 17th December being sent in time for Christmas Day.
No catches
The package on offer is identical to the one offered with AOL’s ‘free laptop’ deal and AOL have sought to clear up any potential confusion about the giveaway by stating that the PlayStation 3 is “Yours to keep forever”.
AOL is going to great pains to stress the fact that the PS3 (and the alternative free laptop) do not need to be handed back at the end of the contract.
"We were surprised to discover during our consumer testing that many people thought they'd have to hand back the laptop or PS3 at the end of their contract," said Karl Te Aika, AOL Broadband's Online Manager.
As a result, AOL now stipulates clearly in all its advertising that the PS3 or the laptop are 'yours to keep forever'.
Like AOL’s ‘free laptop’ offer though there is a 24 month commitment to one of AOL’s Broadband Wireless Plus packages which start at £19.99 per month.
The package offers an up to 8Mb connection, 40GB download allowance, a free wireless router worth £50 and includes the AOL Talk Pay As You Go Plan.
PlayStation 3 Bundle
The Carphone Warehouse / AOL free PS3 will be a much more attractive offer to those who either already own a laptop and don’t want another one or people looking for a more cost effective way to acquire a Blu-ray player for high-definition DVD content.
With Blu-ray HD players currently selling for around £300-£500 the value of AOL’s PlayStation 3 giveaway deal is clear.
The Carphone Warehouse / AOL free PlayStation 3 bundle also includes Gran Turismo 5 game and the movie Spiderman 3 on Blu-ray.
This offer does not replace Carphone Warehouse / AOL’s free laptop offer which continues to run.
