Hey Yall,

My mate put me onto this earlier;

XBox 360 Premium, 60Gb HDD, with Fallout 3, Gears of War 2 & PES 2009.

£179.99 Free Delivery

http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4...-Of-War-2-+-Fallout-3-+-PES-2009/Product.html

Barrrrgaaaaain.

Just to compare;

Xbox 360 Core £129.99
Xbox 360 Premium £169.99

EDIT: 06/01/2009 As you can see the robbing (swear words) have upped the price and claim that they do not have stock at the cheaper price, booooooo you Sirs.

Yeah i know, but you got to admit, thats gonna cost £400 with a PS3, is a much better deal if you ain't got £400 to splash.

True, true, you have a point.

Only advantage of X-Box as far as I can see is cheaper bucks and Gears Of War 2.

PS3 - keyboard, mouse, network, blue-ray. Luvverly :)

Nothing comes close to Gears of War 2, buy it for that experience only.

Amazing deal, go for it.

Yeah, others might remember from a thread PSD99 started, i have a PS3 and love it, i HAD a XBox 360 when they launched and it broke, got repaired then sold it, i then got a RROD 360 from a mate for free, sort of repaired it.

But although i love my PS3, i've ordered one, i mean £180 with the 60Gb HDD and 3 top games, my Bro has Fallout 3 and Gears of War 2 (loved the first one, although it was too short) so those two get taken to GAME and swapped for COD WAW. Also i prefer PES to FIFA.

Really is an absolute bargain.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^That was a very notorious thread okay I won't get into the ps3 vs xbox debate again. :)

This is a good deal but I would buy a console 2nd hand. This is a decent time of year people might have got xbox for xmas but decide they don't want it. I got my xbox 2nd hand and a really decent deal.

:)

That is a very good deal indeed - Fallout 3 is a fantastic game (played it on the PC). Also played GOW2 for the first time at a friends house over Christmas, and I love it - it's almost enough to make me want to get an xbox!

PC World are selling PS 3 bundles from £289 - £330....And if PC World are selling them at that sort of price i'm sure with a bit of looking around you'd get it cheaper somewhere...;

Rush tell me about the encryption you use at home is it WEP by any chance?

The reason I say it cuz I got these wireless adapter that would work on your xbox it is a Linksys one.
It only supports WEP though...

Anyway I am with Waynos on this and if you change your mind and want a cable let me know :)

p.s quake 4 is one of the worse games I have played in my life it was awful.

Cabling sorry is right out of the question :)

Hahahaha what a rip off,

Phoned Play just and they said they are waiting for stock but it could be 2 weeks!!!

I pointed out that they have the same bundle for sale but for an extra £49 now, the guy said that it comes from different suppliers so i can't have that bundle which is exactly the same for the same price.

Have cancelled my order and my Play account.

If they make a mistake in the listing price which they clearly did then they should honour that, *$&%&^&$* crooks.

That £49 has now cost them about £500 of my girlfiends business as she uses play alot, espcially for presents.
