Yea if Amazon have 4GB or 250GB at 60% off im definitely getting 1!! Might get another 1/and wii to sell aswell. Easy money!!



I cant find any evidence of this... it seems like a ludicrous deal to me...  you heard anything?

Can't say no to a new 360 at either £58 or £76 for a 250gb!! I hope its true. Just waiting to see it confirmed on the Amazon Twiiter feed!

And I might be getting a new one with amazon reportedly selling them for 60% off next week... The question is can I put my 20gb hdd in a new slim model, I'm guessing no, which means I have to go for the 250gb one, but that will still only be £80!!!



how much!?  I might buy another... where have you seen this deal?

I should point this is amazon uk, and they are definitely having black Friday deals for one reason or another, and there is definitely 60% off the Wii

Wasn't Xbox 360 released on November 22?

Yep.  I know because I bought mine exactly 1 month later.  One long month of false leads and disappointments.  Never had that hard of time finding a product I wanted to buy, good grief ...

I just bought myself a TV... it was a good price anyway

Unfortunately, I don't have any 3G in the entirety of Oxford, so the only thing I can do is to stay stuck in my room when I'm not in lectures or tutorials...

exactly the same for me.. and I ended up getting one for the normal rrp on ebay in the end.. i bluffed the seller.

Wow 2005, I remember the first time I went on a 360! Gamestation, PGR! I was stunned by the graphics then!



Munkeh111 on 16 November 2010

I remember playing CoD 2 in PC world, I was amazed the first time I played (and then I kept on asking my parents if we could go back so I could play some more)

Really?  That's cool.

I hit up a ton of stores following online leads early in the morning, on lunch breaks and evenings.  Finally I got a call from my boss at time on morning and she said she got a call from her boss in another city that Best Buy got a shipment and he got one and I could come in late if I wanted to go get it.  I threw clothes on and rushed out to the closest one to find 2 ladies waiting near the games.  Turns out they passed out tickets for the exact number and all of the tickets were out.  But 3 weren't claimed yet and they had until a certain time to claim them.  So I hung around for 45 minutes not knowing if I would get that 3rd one or not ..... but I did.  : D
