AOL has launched an awesome deal in time for the holidays - sign a two-year contract for AOL Broadband Wireless Plus and receive a free 40GB PlayStation 3.
In addition, they'll send you a wireless Sixaxis controller (obviously) and the high-flying adventure Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.
Besides the two-year contract (which also includes their AOL Talk call plan - included in the GBP 19.99 bundle), you'll have to pay a shipping charge of GBP 14.99 for the PS3 package. It's a small price to pay for the smile that the shiny black console will bring to your face.
As you may have been able to tell, this is a UK only deal, so all of us United States folks are missing out on the party. So now we know how it feels...

yeah pointless seeing as over 2 years you're paying £480 for a 40Gb ps3 whereas you could buy a 60Gb ps3 for £350 at the moment specially as most places will do interest free credit.
i wont mention that AOL is pretty poor... oops i just did.
if i remeber corectectly AOL was bashing SONY' s PS3 when PS3 way showed at E32006.now they have PS3 deal,wich is useles's.whatever.
if aol is big thing then ps3 is in for threat btw why cant sony try giving big companies cut so they can do their own bundle?
no we want xfire. Thats probably the best solution.
AIM on PS3 would be pretty awesome. MSN on 360 is cool, but if AOL and Sony got together to do AIM over PSN that would be a slap in the face to MS.
psn id: gingo... this is a great deal and the only tihng stopping me is that i personally think AOL is a pile of crap but if any other company did this i would seriously think about changing
i have aol internet and never had a problem, great deal, worth it.
What we truely need on our PS3s is GAIM. It's like all the best instant messagers rolled into one.
AOL is a sin against god
AIM would probably be the main benefit of having a teamup with AOL besides this.
AOL blows hairy ones. End story. Aim on Ps3 would be sick as anything but highly unlikely
