[Official UK] Xbox 360 Special Offers & Deals

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!]

We should get more of these types of deals imo. Good stuff.

[Ironman273]

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...

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Well even if people don't reply to the topic there might still be lurkers interested. Besides it doesn't hurt to post it.

[Ironman273]

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.

I spotted the quidco thing on hotukdeals a few mins ago, I wish i'd posted it on hotukdeals as i saw it about 4 hours before it got put up there!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Don't worry I'll give you a +1 cause I know you found it first :p

[GameOverRob]

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.

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

[MightyJordan]

Hmm, I'm pretty sure I'm subscribed to the newsletter, but I haven't got anything like that. Could you please post the link to the offer?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Can't post the specific one from my email because it looks like it uses unique ID tokens.

But... http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/#Deeplink3

[MightyJordan]

Yep, it definitely looks like it. That link you posted just redirects straight to the home page.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Yep, it definitely looks like it. That link you posted just redirects straight to the home page.

Yeah it was supposed to :p On the home page navigate to the 3rd slide.

[MightyJordan]

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

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Yeah it's for XBL Silver members or people who haven't signed up for XBL at all :p

Read the T's & C's man lol

[akav0id]

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

http://dl.dropbox.co...n/XBLGOffer.jpg

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

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Yup, someone already mentioned the deal in the topic too, but without any info or instructions.

Thought I'd make it easier for people & post the email / links :)

[Livin in a box]

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.
