Since disabling email updates on immediate forum replies - who needs the stress! - I've actually found that making this thread a sticky has decreased its visibility, to me at least. Seeing the US Deals thread being updated alongside the stickied UK version has made me realise this.

Still got my 360 S pre-ordered at ShopTo at £184.85, with my fiver off making it £179.85 (from predicting the football), is that the cheapest? I've heard a rumour that Sainsbury's will be selling it for £140, anyone else heard it?

/me just got from the year 1,002,009 and can confirm the 360S is being sold in Sainsburys for £139.99 which is slightly less than a million years :p

Mind you the new virtual reality 360 is amazing there, its just like the holodeck from startrek.

Sainsburys did sell the Wii (motion plus + resort pack) cheap a couple months ago, but ?139.99 seems far too cheap.

Wish I hadn't pre-ordered from GAME, awful company, still ?199.99, don't have a choice as I've got a bloody gift card :pinch:

You so funny John :p

No but seriously, it's not happening, and certainly not with a supermarket. This type of deal would be something to expect from a retailer like Game/HMV etc. Even then it wouldn't happen. Undercutting the competition by ?60 would prob require sexual favours ;)

..and even if by some miracle supermarkets DID offer it for ?140, you'd get the likes of Game/Gamestation employees buying up all the stock on behalf of the company an then selling them at the R.R.P in their own stores

Well if it is ?140 on release day in Sainsburys I will deffo buy one

Yeah, it's really tempting, but I have to resist. There's absolutely no point for me to buy one while my current one still works perfectly fine.

Have GAME ever sold anything cheap on release day?

Do they even have the buying power now for hardware? Most places have at least twice the number of Sainsburys as GAME stores.

If they do sell cheap anywhere, independent retailers will be buying them, like they did with MW2.

Just found this amazing offer...it's on eBay from a very reputable seller and it is:

Xbox 360 Arcade brand new

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Ethernet cable

Power cables

Component cables

All booklets

No controller or HDD unfortunately, but these are pretty cheap now.

All for ?99.99 or best offer...delivered. Just go here.

    • Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says by David Uzondu Image via Tidal Tidal has announced an AI policy aimed at protecting artists and their crafts, as AI music generation tools continue to improve both in speed and quality. According to the music streaming platform, AI-generated music will be accepted, but these tracks will be held to a "higher standard" of content integrity. Next month, the company plans to auto-identify and tag these uploads. Listeners will spot a special icon next to content that algorithms flag as 100% AI-generated starting mid-July, and the platform hopes to expand this tag to partially generated songs as detection tech improves. Any AI music that exploits an artist's voice or likeness will be taken down, and Tidal will immediately block tracks associated with fraudulent activity, which includes artificial streaming and deceptive content that interferes with real creators. And finally, music that's 100% AI-generated will not be monetized. Tidal said there is "ongoing debate" about whether certain licensed synthetic models deserve payouts, so it's possible that this part will change in the future. Streaming platforms are absolutely getting flooded with AI-generated music because of how easy it is to pump out endless tracks every minute. To give you an idea of how "bad" it is, Deezer alone reported that synthetic uploads now make up about 44% of its daily intake, which translates to roughly 75,000 automated tracks hitting its servers every single day. Interestingly, Deezer found most people cannot tell the difference between human and machine creations, with an Ipsos study revealing that 97% of listeners failed to spot the AI-generated tracks. Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music. The Swedish platform partnered with Universal Music Group to test "legal and controlled" generative AI tools that let subscribers remix songs with AI.
