[Official UK] Xbox 360 Special Offers & Deals


Recommended Posts

Hello...

I'm looking at purchasing a new 360 as the one I have is mostly used and housed at my nephews. Now obviously the new S model is available so that seems the obvious choice, but the prices are a little crazy and I've heard the older HDD units don't work with them - now I have 2 older style HDD's lying around with various saves and DLC so it seems silly to waste those.

Guess what I'm asking is, what's the best and cheapest 360 to get that I can use my existing hardware (pads/wireless/HDD) with?

Probably a 4GB Slim from Tesco, which I believe they are selling for about ?130 and then have a look at this thread for putting your old HDD in it: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/932612-how-to-put-an-old-xbox-360-hdd-into-xbox-360-s/

But personally if you could be patient enough I'd wait till the kinect + console bundles come out in November.

Thanks, .Rob but I'm in no way interested in Kinect so I won't be bothering with it at all. I'm an old fashioned gamer that likes to sit with a pad in my hands, I blame my age :cry:

Or do you mean wait for Kinect to hit and the standalone bundles will drop in price?

Either way, thanks for that link

but you can get the new 4GB console for ?140.

If you wanna do the hard drive trick to use your old one in the new 360 then I would recommend doing that. The new 360 is so much quieter and it probably doesn't break as easily so it's a better investment really.

Found out about the avatar item. We'll get the code emailed in 4-6 weeks.

Took advantage of that ?23.99 subscription offer. How do I cancel the auto renewal? Should I even cancel it before the cheap renewal?

No, don't cancel it. You have to wait for it to renew at the low price, then you can take your card off.

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Looks almost like what our office provides us, excluding the leg rest for obvious reasons 😴
    • Forget the iPhone. What about Android? Most Samsung Galaxy phones sold in the USA are manufactured in Vietnam. Asian countries have the infrastructure that the USA doesn't have. This is why most electronics are not made in the USA
    • The RAM would still probably be more expensive than what they were paying last year.
