Bought two for my kids for Christmas -£179 each but they were in short supply at the time. Think you can get them cheaper now but not a lot. Try ebay but be careful of imports - they need to be region 2 to play the games you get here.
Also .... <p align="left">Try and get one that has 2.00 firmware as it can be downgraded to 1.5 firmware which plays *cough* backups from a memory card </p>
They don't need to be region 2 to play the games, theres no region specific on the games, but there is on the films.
RE: at 15 Or go round at weekends washing cars, obviously asking people first if they want them washing and agreeing a fee, rather than just randomly washing cars!
