[Official UK] Xbox 360 Special Offers & Deals


Recommended Posts

I picked this up thinking it would be great now that you can save games to your HDD, but it doesn't come with a migration cable, so I had to phone up xbox support, listen to some stupid recorded american voice telling me to explain my problem. Finally got through to a person and they were asking me all these questions about my new Elite console, which I didn't buy . . . .

So they sent it, 10days later it arrives, I read the instructions and it says:

IMPORTANT[/b]>

During the transfer process, all content on your new Xbox 360 Hard Drive will be erased. Xbox LIVE Arcade games and most other content purchased on Xbox LIVE Marketplace can be re-downloaded free of charge.

It then goes on to say:

To avoid erasing existing game saves or gamer profiles on your new hard drive, you can move them to an Xbox 360 Memory Unit (sold separately) for temporary storage. Once the hard drive content transfer is complete, you can then safely copy your game saves or profile to your new hard drive.

So basically I'm bricking it. Do I risk losing all my game saves? Or am I just reading this wrong, and all the current content on my old HDD will stay intact.

Cheers

Basically they advise you to backup any important data to a MU before making the transfer in case anything goes wrong with it or its corrupt (i.e game saves and profiles).

You aren't bricking anything. Once the transfer is complete you can still use the old HDD or sell it on. It will be completely formatted though during the transfer.

Anyone got any links for a cheap 120GB HD? I still have my cable from when I upgraded to a 20GB machine to a 60GB machine, but since the new dash installing games is a must and thus I want a bigger HD :)

Cheers Andy, trying to load CCLOnline now, taking ages though :( Gamestation (2 of them here in Liverpool city centre) never have them in stock :(

I don't mean bricking the device. I mean I'm s**ting bricks. I don't want to have all my stuff erased. Looks like I'll have to fork out for a memory card then to be on the safe side.

Do you know anyone you can borrow one from? you will only really need it for save games, profiles can be obtained again by the retrieval system. Mind you saying that you can only move saves to the same device the profile is located on :(

I mean I'm s**ting bricks.

Gotcha :p

Without the "s*******" infront of it I thought you meant brick the hardware :laugh:

And yeah I tried loading CCLOnline too but it was taking too long. Worth checking if it ever loads though.

Hey, does anyone know about any decent offers for Rock Band 2? I can only find it for ?40, which is too much. If I could find it for ?30 or less, I'm laughing then!:D:D

Thanks for the GHWT offer!

FYI, it works if you bought the band bundle like I did as well. Also, please note you get to pick 5 songs from a list of only 10:

  • "No Rain" by Blind Melon
  • "Human" by The Killers (My Pick #1)
  • "The Shock of the Lightning" by Oasis (My Pick #2)
  • "Supernatural Superserious" by R.E.M. (My Pick #3)
  • "The Everlasting Gaze" by the Smashing Pumpkins (My Pick #4)
  • "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner
  • "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield
  • "Salute Your Solutions" by The Raconteurs
  • "Sliver" by Nirvana
  • "Rock and Roll Band" by Boston (My Pick #5)

I'm really disappointed by the list. I wanted to get the James Bond theme! Also, Nickelback is finally coming today!!!

Oh, another BTW: When you complete the offer and choose your tracks, you're greeted with a message that says "You will recieve instructions on how to download your tracks in 4-6 weeks via the email address you provided."

4 BLOODY WEEKS?!?!

    • That is $130 more than I paid for my 4TB a year ago. How is this a deal?
    • JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows by David Uzondu JetBrains has announced that JetBrains Air, its Agentic Development Environment (ADE) is now available for download on Windows x64 and ARM. You might not be familiar with JetBrains Air. It's this new desktop app that the company launched back in March 2026 to let developers hand off tasks to AI agents instead of writing every line manually. You can see it as more of an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) rather than a traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The latter builds its features around a central text editor, while the former arranges everything around the AI agent itself. Here's how JetBrains describes it: Air was born from the ashes of Fleet, an experimental editor that the company quietly killed in December 2025 after realizing that competing directly with VS Code was a losing battle. The company repurposed Fleet's lightweight, modern architecture to build Air, transforming a basic code editor into a workspace for running multiple AI agents. When Air launched, it was only available for macOS. It wasn't until earlier this month that Linux users got a chance to play with the software. Now that Air is on Windows, you can do things like map out a complex feature in Plan mode and watch an AI write the implementation plan to a markdown file before writing any code. You can iterate on this plan, add references to specific classes or files, and choose whether to run the agent locally or inside an isolated Git worktree. Running agents in parallel means you can have Claude refactor a database schema in one branch while Codex writes tests in another, leaving you free to do other important things. You can even set up a pipeline where Claude writes the code, and Codex reviews it. At the moment, Air is free. If you have a JetBrains AI Pro or Ultimate subscription, you get full access to the built-in agents, though there's also the option to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to run APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If you're interested, here are the download links for both x64 and ARM64.
    • Depending how you’re wiring it internally, but try to put it inside conduit, that way in the future you can more easily replace cables, compared to running inside studs alone At least cat6a too
    • I bet Meta has lots of info on you anyway, gathered by other means. And Google, and Microsoft, and every other tech giant. If you use some form of modern electronic device, they own you already...
    • I'm using Windows 11 Pro 25H2 on "ancient" hardware, too: - Core i7 3770K - GTX 1050 2GB - 16GB DDR3 1333 MT/s It runs flawlessly, not a single issue. I also have it on other ancient setups, but I don't remember the exact specs right now (Intel 4th. generation).
