[Official UK] Xbox 360 Special Offers & Deals


Recommended Posts

As I've found out, the cheeky buggers. If it weren't for the fact that I had to end up paying the difference for my new headphones with my parents' PayPal account (don't worry, they know; and I'm paying it all back when I get my EMA on Saturday), I'd have been overdrawn by now.

Your always buying headphones :p

Your always buying headphones :p

Technically, I'm exchanging here. But yeah, this will be the sixth pair of headphones I've bought (I've had two or three others before, but sent them back as they weren't that good).

Happy birthday, BTW! :)

Right, Very are officially a bunch of ****ers and by far the worst company I've ever ordered from.

The Microsoft Points came today, and they've charged me the full ?19 with no ?15 refund in sight. I logged into my account to check the order, and guess what? The account no longer exists! :angry: My second account exists though (which I used a different email address for), and the order appears on there with just the free delivery code there. I didn't even confirm the order on the second account, the thieving gits!!!

I've arranged a return, so I have to wait for someone to pick it up now. I haven't opened the points, thankfully. If I could find a way of opening it up, using the code, and then resealing it again to look like it'd never been opened, I'd bloody do that right now. :p

Will they be charging you for that?

Thankfully, not. I saw on my Twitter feed earlier one of my mates is ticked off at Very as well, but not for the same reason I am...

very.co.uk can die in a fire too. A month for a ?20 PSN card? Sorry. It's a piece of f***ing paper with a code on it.

Hey, I was thinking of getting an Xbox 360 soon and I currently have saved up $116.68. I want a reliable console that I can use to play movies and everything since I have a Zune subscription. I heard Jasper models are most reliable, but I also want a fully functional model that isn't banned from Xbox Live. I want one that's very expansive so if I ever do start to like to game more often, I could add on to make it as good as an Elite model with the large storage and all. But anyway right now I think an Arcade would do. Does anybody know of a place I could get one that's like that? I don't think I care too much about if it's not completely new and is on eBay, as long as it's in good condition and is reliable so I can have fun with it, I'm happy.

Until Microsoft offer USB memory stick support you will also need a memory card or harddisk to use with an Xbox Arcade, as you wont be able to save games. The offers now days for a console with hardisk and games are very reasonable and well worth taking up.

Just fyi, but this topic is for UK members only.

USB support is coming this week (the 6th) which will let you use up to 32GB space with 2 devices. MS have partnered up with SanDisk to sell licensed memory sticks too, but you can use any brand you like.

I think we need a mod to edit the title to say that it's UK offers. Then maybe someone could start up a US version? Same with the PS3 and PC ones as well (the PC one would be the other round though, as the one currently up is a US one).

I can edit the title to whatever I like right now. Don't need a mod. I'll add a prefix with UK tags.

Members have wanted a US topic for a long time - since I created this one basically. Useless us being part of it since we don't know the e-tailers inside out like we do in the UK.

Would require someone with a lot of buying knowledge to start it for the US members.

I'd buy new, less hassle if anything goes wrong, and it won't be banned, opened or a refurb.

I would post up 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction at the same price but they are both showing as sold out. You are able to add them to your basket but you get a message in the basket saying:

Products marked with *** are out of stock or there are not enough in stock to fill your order.
Please change the quantity of products marked with (***). Thank you

Could be worth a try, but I doubt you'd get them on release day?

Add 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa to Basket Link

Add Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction to Basket Link

^ just a tip because I talked about it with Evoman over the weekend, but Fable 2 GOTY is ?10 at Gamestation & Gameplay right now. Comes with all the DLC so it's the better buy.

Mass Effect ?7.93 at The Hut

Yeah sorry DM I forgot to post it!

Anybody have any idea if the supermarkets are going to be doing Fifa World Cup on the cheap like they have the past few Fifa games? Really don't want to spend too much on it but really want to get it.

My brother's in the same boat.

    • TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 by Razvan Serea TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click. Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files. Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual. TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features: Copy/move to your favorite folders. Save reports as HTML and CSV files. Select files with the same extension/folder. Remove the selected files from the copy queue. Features added since version 3.17: Enhanced speed graph. New multi-threaded copy engine. Support for copying to multiple targets. Queue system for managing multiple copy operations. Support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. TeraCopy entry in the modern Windows Explorer context menu. Integrated toolbar in the title bar. Why receive LocalSend transfers with TeraCopy? Handle file conflicts: Skip, overwrite, or rename files when a file with the same name already exists. LocalSend always creates another copy, which can waste time and disk space, especially when resuming an interrupted transfer. Filter unwanted files: Apply ignore lists or remove files manually before accepting a transfer, so unnecessary files are not downloaded. Better performance on fast networks: In tests over a 10 Gbps connection, TeraCopy received files several times faster than the standard LocalSend app on Windows. TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 changelog: Fixed a bug where Overwrite behaved as Overwrite All during same-drive move operations. AdvancedInstaller fixed the installer’s security vulnerability: EXE Bootstrapper resolved the %appdata% location incorrectly for the System account.

    • First exciting thing to come to Windows in a long time ! This is the kind of things they should focus on, instead of cramming as much AI as they can in everything.
    • New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs by Taras Buria AMD is rolling out yet another graphics driver. Version 26.6.4 is now available for download, bringing two important fixes. One is for those still using Windows 10 and having trouble installing driver 26.6.2. In fact, this patch is coming from the recently released hotfix, so it is not new if you are already running version 26.6.3. The second fix is for RX 7000 owners. AMD recently brought FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen graphics cards, but there was a bug with certain games crashing when using FSR 4.1. I experienced this issue with Forza Horizon 6, so today's driver should take care of that. Here is the official changelog: Intermittent install issue seen when installing AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 on Windows® 10 systems for Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Intermittent application crash may be observed in some games with AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 enabled on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics products. Known issues include the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield™ 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield™ 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield™ 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. You can download the AMD Radeon driver 26.6.4 from the official website here. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Amazon may use OpenAI and Nova models after Anthropic reportedly raises costs by Karthik Mudaliar Amazon is reportedly considering to use OpenAI models and even its own Nova family of AI models after Anthropic raised the cost of using Claude inside Amazon services. According to a report from The Information, Amazon is weighing its options to reduce costs under a new arrangement with Anthropic. But back in April, Amazon said it would invest $5 billion more in Anthropic, with the possibility of adding up to another $20 billion if certain commercial milestones are met. That investment actually came on top of another $8 billion Amazon had already put into the Claude maker. Anthropic, meanwhile, committed to spend more than $100 billion over 10 years on AWS technologies, including Amazon’s Trainium chips. Amazon isn't just a customer of Anthropic but also one of the most important backers and cloud partners. This is why it makes it interesting that Amazon is considering other alternatives to handle its internal workloads. Although Amazon has been building its own options for a while now. Its Nova family of AI models was announced in late 2024 for Amazon Bedrock, with models aimed at text, image, and video tasks. Amazon pitched the model around cost and latency at that time. With that said, OpenAI has also become a more realistic option recently for AWS customers as well as for Amazon itself. Earlier this year, OpenAI brought its latest models and Codex coding agent to Amazon Bedrock, after changes to its previously more restrictive Microsoft cloud arrangement. This allowed AWS to serve even those customers who wanted other alternatives from Claude, without having to move workloads out of Amazon's cloud. Evaluating alternatives could also be due to commercial pressure and not necessarily a sign of a damaged partnership between Amazon and Anthropic. Whether or not Amazon is actually considering switching entirely to OpenAI's models or its own Nova models remains unknown at this moment.
