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..

ahhh thank god for component cables ;)

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.

Not sure if it has been posted but a Woolworths local to me was advertising the Xbox 360 Premium and 4 good games for 285 pounds.. an absolute bargain!

This it?

@ AudioBoxer, what about this bundle?. Posted it on page 2, guess you missed it.

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

All right, here's one -

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;);)

Is an Xbox 360..(in the U.K) In most places ?299 for Xbox Elite with the 120GB Hard Drive and the wireless controller?

Or do you have to buy the wireless controller separate..

and if someone form the U.K has an idea where to get one for less tell me:pp

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
