Maybe you should edit the first post as well to keep them deals in the same place ;)

Well I suppose I could if this thread is going stay popular for long enough :p Could it be made sticky if that was the case? Or at least change the title to Official Bargains thread or something along the lines..

I got component cables, it still looks pretty bad :/

I'm going to check in town tomorrow and see what 360 bundles are about.

If Game have that ?250 bundle in store and can give me a Pro (HDMI) then I think I'll pick it up.

I seen it (Y)

But it's outta stock/stock not in yet.

If I see a good bundle tomorrow I'll probably just buy it. Want to keep costs down so as long as I can get the Pro model and a decent game (eg Halo 3 :p), I'll be happy for now.

I'm dreading getting the wireless adapter though... 50 notes :pinch:

Any alternatives to using it?

Don't know of any of the top of my head, but third party dongles work. You need to set them up on the PC first I think, then use it on the 360. Check Google.

According to wikipedia - its the 20th in the USA and 23rd over here. As its wikipedia though - it could easily be wrong.

With the Pro / premium thing, AFAIK its still officially called the premium (in the USA its just called the Xbox 360). And although I have no first hand knowledge of this, from what I've read, if it has HDMI it will say so on the box.

I bought my "Pro" from HMV about a month ago and it had no mention of "premium" OR "pro" on the box, it was just "Xbox 360". It did mention HDMI on the back, though and luckily, the guy in HMV knew what I was talking about when I said "Pro".

This was a month ago, so no doubt there's plenty of Pro models around the place, just ask in store if they have any, but be careful about mentioning the HDMI because I got a LOT of people who tried to sell me an elite and were absolutely sure that the elite was the only one that had it because "that's it's major selling point"....

EDIT: I forgot to mention, in both HMV and Virgin, it does actually come up on their computer systems as "360 Pro" and is separate from the Premium, so you can always ask them to check for it there.

If its just coming up as xbox 360, perhaps MS has done here what they have done in america then? As in dropped the pro / premium thing completely? (just naming it xbox 360).

I'm still not too sure bout it now being called the pro, simply because a few were calling it the pro even back at 360 launch

Some Game stores are doing a special offer for Virtua Fighter 5. It's ?20 when bought with anything in store (some stores require it to be a 360 game). Offer only lasts this week.

Oh and my local gamestation was giving ?30 for VF;);)

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.

      Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified. We only use first-party seller links (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you purchase from a first-party seller link only. Check out Today's Deals on Amazon | or our recent tech deals.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By grik · Posted

      Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
