That's a pretty good deal if you're new to the 360. It's a good competitor to the PS3 Slim. More than double the hard drive capacity, double the controllers, and it looks much better. If I were torn between those two, it'd be an easy choice. :p

It's not a straight conversion to dollars. Expect MS to price match the PS3 Slim (Y)

?250 is how much Sony are asking for the PS3 Slim. The Elite already costs ?200 in the UK. So for an extra ?50 you ga brand new AAA gameke>, extra controller and 130GB extra HDD :yeFANTASTIC/b> offer.

I think honestly microsoft removing the HD COMPONENT Cables from the current elite was a BIG MISTAKE. Thats what people hated about sony, pay $600-500-400-300 and you still did not get HD Cables, atleast with the Xbox, after the arcade, you got HD Cables. And now, No cables, they made a BIG Mistake and focused on being or matching sony then keeping what they had going for them.

Also, they dont make the Component Cables separate for retail, so I dont know what they were thinking if they expect people to buy HDMI. Some people dont have HDMI ports and still have Component.

Anyway, I hope its $400 because that sounds good for system, 250gb hd(for games on demand probably, good nonetheless) 2 Wireless Controllers and HDMI(not a big whoop).

Well I don't tend to buy things in the UK with dollars.

Well I was talking more over to the US side :p :) . Since they're releasing 360 at that price in UK, I'm pretty sure the price here in US should be over $400.00. Arcade model cost $199+2 controllers $100+HDMI $5+Game $60+whatever left is for the HD(also I'm not sure how much discount you get with bundle). If the cost is under $450 then the HD price would be significantly lower than I expected.

No Forza 3 in bundle? :(

Strange move, I thought they'd be doing this to rival Sony's 250GB game bundling diarrhea.

Still with the separate hard drives costing an arm and leg this is still a great bundle for a first time buyer to save money in the long run.

Will you stop creating confusion in this topic ffs!

It's not as simple as just converting the currency. If that were the case then the Elite would currently be ?180 here in the UKand it's not!!>

Just sit tight and wait for MS to announce the updates this week. Whose to even say they'll sell the 250GB stand alone?

Details are vague as my source is getting his details from someone else at a London retailers conference. He didn't mention anything about built in wireless, but seeing as the Canadians are already getting the wi-fi dongle bundled then there's a possibility I guess?

Easy.....

I didn't wrote anything that crazy did I.

There is what a difference of ?20 between the elites in US & UK.

Then you could've waited to post the announcement.

Sorry about being rude:pint:t:hug:g:

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
