Id say don't do it, wait till you have the money! much less stressed that way, like worrying you got pay money back... PS3's are good though.

If it were a 'need' thing it's worth it but wouldn't for a 'want' item. Remember chrimble is just round the corner too....that means big bucks!!

I would only do it if you can pay off the overdaft on payday and have still have enough money to last you the month.otherwise you will get stuck in it every month.

Until recently I used to live in my overdraft. Get paid, clear it, use it all again.  Not a good situation to be in. Took me ages to pay it off. Now have a £250 'emergency only' overdraft.

This is true. You sure that you definately don't have to pay that back?
I've heard the ps3 isn't as good as the x-box though.
