[Official UK] Xbox 360 Special Offers & Deals

Cheap games everywhere and a lack of money due to present buying.... EPIC FAIL.

I agree. Just too many good games and not enough funds.

At least there is a slow down on games until end of January so we can pick up some before they start coming again!

Yeah it's true, just looked it up on BBC news. I don't think they've went completely bust, from the looks of it they're going to stay in business, but need to make some quick cash (i.e. sell off a few stores, sack a few people, etc.).

Offload some cheap games ;)

I don't know why everyone is so surprised about Zavvi going into administration. I posted the news December 2nd. It was bound to happen when their supplier got into trouble.

Yeah I can't see why people were so surprised. Business' such as Zavvi use an extremely prone boom and bust model, they make 80% of their sales in the run up to Christmas (November / December). With Woolworths going under and taking with it EntertainmentUK (EntertainmentUK was the only profitable part of Woolworths) which was Zavvi's distributor, forcing Zavvi to close its web site it was bound to happen.

Still shame to see them go, they have only recently opened up a massive shop in the new Liverpool One shopping centre, but then again it looks like that shopping centre is about to lose a fair number of shops. :(

The one in Glasgow (there's two actually iirc) but the flagship shop is 3 floors high. It even used to have a coffee shop in the book section. Not sure if thats still there though, I only frequent the games section :p

There's really no rush to buy L4D. It's a good game, but it's not like you guys are missing the game/story of the century. Go down the arcade and play House of the Dead. Almost the same thing :p

Ok, so slight exaggeration there but still ;)

If your local Woolworths hasn't closed yet definitely take a look! Mine closes tomorrow, popped down there today and they had quite a few games left (behind the counter in a draw - had to ask the person at the desk) all for 50% off. I got:

Gears of War 2 - ?17.99

Fallout 3 - ?14.99

Call of Duty 4 - ?12.50

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - ?8.50

Eternal Sonata - ?4.99

Lost Odyssey - ?4.99

They had Guitar Hero 3 with Guitar for ?29.99 too but I had no money:(eft :(

    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
