I've still not seen any news of if this is gonna be coming to the UK - anyone here seen anything yet?

Also, whilst we're on the topic of bundles - I've just seen this in case any UKers are interested:

Kotaku - XBOX 360 Elite Halo Bundle

Only the standard Elite though :(

It's confirmed by AceyBongos, it'll be Game/Gamestation exclusive though. No price is announced yet, but hopefully it stays at ?250 like my source told me.

Sadly not, I don't think that type of info will be made available until it's on the shelf / someone opens it.

Maybe someone at the CoD event will get their hands on it though and spread the word. Although I'm sure we would have heard by now.

Whatever happens, no doubt it'll be posted here on NW soon enough.

aaaaaand my source was on the mark again :p

Their website is down just now, but VG247 have confirmed it. Annnnnnnnd Forza 3 is included with the bundle after all. Unlike the Halo 3 ODST bundle, the Forza 3 bundle does come with the 250GB hard drive :)

It'll be at LEAST a Jasper (65nm/65nm). If it's a newer chipset, all 360s around that point will start shipping with them. Valhalla is expected at some point this year but so far we've not seen it. Previous new chipsets started appearing around August/September so it could be any time soon or it might not be at all.

Either way, you'll be getting at least a Jasper so don't worry, they're very nice machines.

What is the point of making it Game/Gamestation exclusive, its a console bundle, should be offered in as many retailers as possible.

That's only the case for MW2, not Halo 3 ODST or Forza 3.

And it'll be because it's Limited Edition and IW have already gone on record to say it'll be a "true" limited edition. I know that comment was aimed at the night vision goggles etc, but it just shows their outlook on the availability. So there probably isn't going to be enough of the consoles to go around all the retailers. Game/Gamestation were probably the highest bidders on them or something.

I sure hope that 250GB drive isn't only used for these "limited edition" SKUs and that they start to replace the 120GB drives with them. That should give us a hefty price cut on the 120GB drives to clear stock. Good time to buy for me then.

Add to the fact that GAME bought GameStation some time ago...

Ahhh the good old days in Halo 2 and Halo 3. Teabag all the ****ers that tried to mess with me.

Now, these days you run and gun...you don't have time to teabag the noobs. With martydom and what not. :p

I prefer corpse humping (i refuse to call it teabagging), it makes such a wonderful target and tells me the kind of person I'm playing. Although, the other day I had a pleasant conversation with someone in Soul Calibur IV while we were fighting. The next time I played him he removed his mic, spammed me to death and teabagged me each time he won. That royally ticked me off.

Yes, if only it was that simple. At the moment you can only fit your own 120GB drive and even then it only works with certain models and needs an app to flash the drive. If you use any compatible drive that's over 120GB, the 360 will only see it as 120GB anyway. I imagine when the 250GB HDs are out a copy of the HDDSS.bin will leak and you'll be able to flash your own 250GB too , but any larger just won't be recognised.

I await for this as i did this with my 120gb :)

      Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.

      Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
