[Official UK] Xbox 360 Special Offers & Deals


Recommended Posts

Buy.com is currently offering 12-month Xbox Live Gold cards for only $35 -- a substantial savings over the usual $50. Well, technically, it's only $34.44, so the deal is even better. There's a limit of three per customer, which adds up to three years of Live for just over 100 bucks. Not bad.

[Thanks, Richard!]

I haven't paid over $30 in a while. There was a sale on Amazon and Newegg for $30 not too long ago. It's expired already, though. I stopped posting the sales I came across because it didn't seem like people were interested...

Next time I come across one I'll start a topic "Latest Xbox Live deals" (or you can change the topic of this one) and then I'll just dig it up anytime a new one comes along.

Do they ship/work in Australia?

I priced these in store today (since I got a 360 a couple of days ago), they're nearly $80 here for the year for some reason.

Australia gets the short end when it comes to prices. :laugh:

All Live codes work in Australia I believe (90% sure). Microsoft Points on the other hand are region locked.

Threads Merged for now (even though I know the thread I just merged was not UK specific).

If you guys want to do a Live Deals thread later on that is cool, but this last one needed to be sorted out and never was so I just merged it with this one.

Next week's Xbox Live Deals of the Week:

Defense Grid, 400 Points (?3.40)

PB Winterbottom, 400 Points (?3.40)

Rocket Riot, 400 Points (?3.40)

Darwinia+, 800 Points (?6.80)

Chime, 240 Points (?2.04)

Poker Smash, 400 Points (?3.40)

Play.com are having their usual summer sale, a few good deals in there.

also Game are doing the Limited Edition of NFS: Hot Persuit on pre-order for the same price as the normal one.

It doesn't work. It says it's not available for me. Probably for the best anyway, as it looks like you have to put your card on there, and after the month is up, it auto-renews each month for a fiver.

Well, at least I know when my membership runs out: exactly one week before my birthday. :p

XBL Gold for £1 offer. Sent to subscribers of the newsletter, but for those that don't...

The xbl gold month for a quid deal has been on the xbox dashboard since the 15th June.

I know because I accidentally purchased it by pressing A twice

Previously it was a 3 months for around £7.50 or so deal

Is ShopTo the cheapest place for a Xbox 360 S at ?184.85?

And can someone help me with my 360? MS sent it me back for being 'tampered with' (gawd knows, honestly) and now I don't know what to do. I'm not paying ?80 for MS to fix it and get another refurb unit, so I'd like a new one...or maybe an Elite, I'm not too sure, but I'd prefer a the 360 S. Does anyone know what I should do? Thanks.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • 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!
