[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

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.

    • 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!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
