[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.

    • That is $130 more than I paid for my 4TB a year ago. How is this a deal?
    • JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows by David Uzondu JetBrains has announced that JetBrains Air, its Agentic Development Environment (ADE) is now available for download on Windows x64 and ARM. You might not be familiar with JetBrains Air. It's this new desktop app that the company launched back in March 2026 to let developers hand off tasks to AI agents instead of writing every line manually. You can see it as more of an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) rather than a traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The latter builds its features around a central text editor, while the former arranges everything around the AI agent itself. Here's how JetBrains describes it: Air was born from the ashes of Fleet, an experimental editor that the company quietly killed in December 2025 after realizing that competing directly with VS Code was a losing battle. The company repurposed Fleet's lightweight, modern architecture to build Air, transforming a basic code editor into a workspace for running multiple AI agents. When Air launched, it was only available for macOS. It wasn't until earlier this month that Linux users got a chance to play with the software. Now that Air is on Windows, you can do things like map out a complex feature in Plan mode and watch an AI write the implementation plan to a markdown file before writing any code. You can iterate on this plan, add references to specific classes or files, and choose whether to run the agent locally or inside an isolated Git worktree. Running agents in parallel means you can have Claude refactor a database schema in one branch while Codex writes tests in another, leaving you free to do other important things. You can even set up a pipeline where Claude writes the code, and Codex reviews it. At the moment, Air is free. If you have a JetBrains AI Pro or Ultimate subscription, you get full access to the built-in agents, though there's also the option to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to run APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If you're interested, here are the download links for both x64 and ARM64.
    • Depending how you’re wiring it internally, but try to put it inside conduit, that way in the future you can more easily replace cables, compared to running inside studs alone At least cat6a too
    • I bet Meta has lots of info on you anyway, gathered by other means. And Google, and Microsoft, and every other tech giant. If you use some form of modern electronic device, they own you already...
    • I'm using Windows 11 Pro 25H2 on "ancient" hardware, too: - Core i7 3770K - GTX 1050 2GB - 16GB DDR3 1333 MT/s It runs flawlessly, not a single issue. I also have it on other ancient setups, but I don't remember the exact specs right now (Intel 4th. generation).
