[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.

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

Regular Updates – Community-driven development with new features and fixes. WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Tor Browser 15.0.17 by Razvan Serea Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.
