This deal is "dead" as posted. The difference between 5% and 10% is pretty significant.

Still a deal. $30 off MSRP is not exactly commonplace - especially with PS3s being increasingly scarce right now.

Also, this was posted a half-hour after BCB went back down to 5%. Another sloppy rip-off post from SD from an OP who hadn't even tried the deal at the time of posting.

Doh, I was waiting for a deal on a slim... just bought a refurb on eBay for $280 - 8% BCB. This is way hotter!

By the way, I doubt they're even available to ship, so the ETA is a big question mark. I pulled the trigger anyway. The savings basically add up to a second controller.

uncharted 2 is $40 after $20off but before BCB. A must have for the PS3. Most places selling around $55.

Just to let you guys know, this says "ships in 1 - 2 weeks" so it's backstocked. Everyone is back stocked. PS3 is sold out everywhere, so you're basically being put on a waiting list. Also, they're not going to charge your card until it's in stock, which might be weeks or a month from now, so if their Bing CashBack changes I wouldn't count on them honoring the old BCB promo.

Uhhh...no! If you ACTUALLY order it, it tell you an approximate shipping date....which for me is two-n-half weeks from today. So, if you ordered from the current deal, you're not going to wait a month before they charge your card.
I got a 5% BCB tho, n then California Tax on top of that!!! But, still a deal because no store is in stock with the PS3s. Total = $293.12

Keep thinking that. They don't know when they're going to be able to fulfill orders. They just know that they'll be getting a shipment in 1-2 weeks and think they'll have enough to fill orders. If you're lucky, it will be 1 to 2 weeks. If you're not, they might get small shipments and the hundreds of people who ordered before you (as they're the only website besides SonyStyle that are taking orders right now) will get filled slowly while you wait.
When local GameStops have their inventory for the next month already prepurchased and are refusing more prepurchases because they don't know that they'll even be able to fill the orders they already have, I wouldn't hold my breath about getting one shipped in a week. Or two weeks.

Is GameStop usually a better price than the $299 thats listed on their site? If not check your local Target. Mine has 3 PS3's in stock at the same $299 price. Not a deal, but if you need one "today" they are in stock at some places.

Bing showed up 5% for me when I ordered. I didn't get the confirmation until today, so I wrote to Bing Customer Service and they gave me 10%! YEAH!

I received my confirmation of 5% CashBack from Bing today and have contacted customer service to get the full 10%.
