Forums - Microsoft - 360 with Kinect bundle - Pre-ordered - Resistance was futile.

I just could not resist the shiny allure of the new console any longer and now they have released the 250GB bundle with Kinect I have finally hit the button. Wish me luck as I now explain away the £299 on the visa bill.

Kinda of worse than that:

PSU - £80 (Old PSU caught fire!)

GPU - £120 (Had to buy a new PSU and well it would seem churlish not to buy a GPU whilst I was out of the house)

SSD - £75 (Total bargain did not need but hell it was so cheap they were virtually giving them away (www.ebuyer.co.uk))

i41 -  £62 (LAN party ticket who can resist the early bird offer)

And of course now the 360 bundle so yeah I have some explaining to do and of course I am going to have buy Reach now as well. I knew there was a reason I still went to work everyday.

Keeeeerching you save loads. I knew it was worth hanging on. I wonder who has put the squeeze on them to trigger the Price guarantee.
