[Official UK] Xbox 360 Special Offers & Deals

[Nick Sheldon]

I preordered MW2 @ tescodirect, for ?32:))

[.KICK]

try thehut.com i ordered mine there for just under ?60 but thats the hardened. i do remeber seeing the normal edition for about ?38/39

and unfortunatly my brother wants the controller edition, so i guess i'll pick it up instore on the day

Site says ?44.73.

You're in luck. I found a place that's selling it for ?37.98. I've never heard of the place though, so I don't know what it'll be like.

If you want a more trustworthy place, Toys R Us are selling it for ?39.99.

Nope. It's ?44.73 there.

Coolshop looks okay, some guys on AVForums say its okay, can get 5% cashback too. Toy R Us I could do. Worth a try but I would use my Credit Card for extra security. Thanks.

Site says ?44.97.

Edit - Toys R Us adds ?4.95 for P&P (What a joke) and Coolshop payment system is messy, can't seem to follow through with the order! Timesout when I get to the MasterCardSecure code section. Any other choices?

A pretty damn expensive game.

Take a Look at this list of prices.

A pretty damn expensive game.

Because Activision know it's a giant cash cow now. And if Bobby Kotick - gaming's new #1 enemy (Jack Thompson has no power anymore) - has his way, the games will get even more expensive. He wants to charge ?75 a game; and the worst part is that he believes we're willing to pay!:angry::

[Emil Valsson]

People will just pirate more if that will be the case.

[Guest]

So you guys have been blocked by GAME for abusing the exploit? Ouch.

In other news, my copy of ODST was shipped by ShopTo today so hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow.

Yeah it looks like we're stuck with high prices, I am hoping future games won't be like this.

Yeah, I won't be buying games if they are ?75.

[MightyJordan]

Same here. I don't even buy games for ?40 at the moment. I always wait for them to go on offer, or I pre-order them if a shop is doing an offer on them, like Stoked (?24.85) and Tekken 6 (?29.85). There's also Gran Turismo 5 and Heavy Rain on the PS3 (both for ?32.95); all of them coming from Sho:)o. :)

I'm slightly p'ed that my Halo 3 ODST order got rejected from GAME though, as with an earlier ?10 voucher code combined with them offering it at ?30 for a short time, I would have got it fo:(?20. :(

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Not gonna go over the game price issues, they've been beaten to death on NW already. But expect to see them go up.

In other news, my ODST order was shipped from Shopto :happy:

My copy arrived from GAME this morning :)

On a different note, my friend's asked if I know of any good deals on 12 months live gold membership. I was gonna point him to the instant access ShopTo code but it's out of stock at the mo :( Anyone know of any alternative sites to try for instant codes or where to get the card on the cheap?

[GameOverRob]

eBay is generally your best bet that's where my my last three 13 month cards have come from for under ?30

[mad_onion]

I get mine here.

Do you use any particular seller?

I get mine here.

Shame - the 12 months are out of stock there:(( Brilliant price though.

Just look on eBay for some, make sure their seller rating is good and that they e-mail you the code. Its pretty much easy to get one cheap on their. Just don't go for some guy with low sales.

[GameOverRob]

Yup, pretty much what Peter just said both have been from three different random people with 99.99% ratings or over

3 more arcade games going down in price to 400 points;

I just made a post regarding this in the "Super Elite Confirmed" thread, but seeing as people probably won't be looking in there for offers, I'm posting it here too. This is the best price I've found so far:

ShopTo - Forza 3 Super Elite Bundle - ?239.99

Remember folks - this is a 250GB drive, plain black elite with 2 wireless controllers, a headset and a copy of Forza 3. Great value for money considering the normal elite on it's own (with a single controller, headset, 120GB drive and no game) sells for ?189.99 there.

Nice deal, but I don't think I need 250 GB otherwise I might sell my current 360 and upgrade to a nice black one. I'm not gonna be a sucker for the games on demand, no resale value, high prices etc.

Great for people who need a console thoug:):)

None of which I would like. :(

I'd be more tempted with this bundle: http://www.game.co.uk/Xbox360/Hardware/Har...nd-Halo-3-ODST/
