[Official UK] Xbox 360 Special Offers & Deals

[Guest]

I was thinking about it, but there really isn't much in the same way as offers as the 360. It would be pretty bare.

Not to mention there isn't that many PS3 UK owners on Neowin. The bulk are from US.

True, but it'd still be nice for someone to round up all the best pre-order deals in one thread ;)

It's that wink a gentle hint Jonny :p

Ugh, so much work, do you know how many games are gonna come out this holiday lol. it's hard enough tracking down all the 360 ones :p

I'll have a think about it and see if I'm up to the challenge. Takes quite a lot of time to find good prices these days.

Munky are you a member on Hot UK Deals?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

You'd be silly not to be a member there, as its a good source of cheapness.

Nice, I just took them up on this. Thanks for the heads up:DD(Y))

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

No problem, enjoy the 360 (Y)

I'll update this topic later today with more deals and I'll make an update on any preorders for Fable etc.

I know this has been mentioned a couple of times, but with the recent spate of great games on XBLA I figured it was worth mentioning again.

Tesco is currently selling 2100 Microsoft points for ?13.97 delivered, which is pretty good in itself (means an 800 point XBLA game costs approximately ?5.32).

HOWEVER, they also have a bit of a glitch in their system. Delivery is normally ?1.99, but the code "freedel" takes this price off (giving you the ?13.97 total), but if you add TWO of these (so 4200 points in all) and use the code, it doubles up and takes ?3.28 off the order, bringing it down to ?26.65, or ?13.33 for 2100 points.

This in turn means an 800point game costs ?5.07 (or for comparison, Braid is only ?7.60).

Ok just doing the rounds and there has been no change in Fable 2 CE. The best price is still found at Zavvi and for the normal edition Game are the best price when you use the ?3 voucher.

The same goes for Gears of War 2, Zavvi still have the best price for the CE and Amazon for the normal edition.

Viva Pinata 2 is still cheapest from Game when you use the ?3 voucher and wrapping paper trick.

Just a heads up, Assassin's Creed will be releasing as a Classic the first week of September, so expect to see it priced for ?20 or less. I will post a deal for the cheapest price closer to the time.

Those are the big games coming up in the immediate future and I doubt prices will change much the next few weeks. If they do I will update.

I will update in the coming weeks for more preorders, and I'll keep up to date with all the other latest deals as usual.

[GameOverRob]

urgh, don't really want to pay any more than ?30 for Mercenaries 2

[Kushan]

urgh, don't really want to pay any more than ?30 for Mercenaries 2

Then don't, give it a week or two and it'll drop to that price. Hell, check play-asia, it might even be region free.

[GameOverRob]

Not yet know if it is region free, I will keep my eyes peeled thou.

Oh yeah people, there's been a major ****up with the Fable 2 pub games preorder stuff.

If you look at game's website, it states you get the codes ON RELEASE DATE, which as you know is a waste of time. Apparently if you preordered it with them before the 21st, you'll get the codes today, but so far nobody has seen anything.

However, it looks as though gamestation are doing it properly, but so far they're only promising to at least give you the codes before release date, but that could be the day before...

Yeah they have messed up. It said yesterday, those who pre-order before 5pm yesterday should get their code in e-mail today (Still waiting for mine) However, those who pre-order after 5pm yesterday and upto the release date will get their code nearer the release date. I really don't know whats going on but I sure hope I get my code today!

I guess Game are worried people were going to pre-order, get the code then cancel their order!

Anyways, back on topic, anyone got anymore offers?

That's probably exactly it and I must say if/when I DO get my preorder code, I'll be very tempted to cancel my order just to spite the money-grabbing bastards.

Yes, I really am that petty.
