DrunknMunky Veteran Posted September 16, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted September 16, 2009 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. http://twitter.com/AceyBongos/status/4025730261 http://twitter.com/AceyBongos/status/4025757184 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted September 16, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted September 16, 2009 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.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted September 17, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted September 17, 2009 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 :) http://www.vg247.com/2009/09/17/250gb-360-...-at-250-for-uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kushan Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Sweet stuff there DM - as always :yes: Is there no way your source can find out which cpu it's got inside? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 What is the point of making it Game/Gamestation exclusive, its a console bundle, should be offered in as many retailers as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted September 17, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted September 17, 2009 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.

Emil Valsson Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 The Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console will be sold in Europe, the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia), UK, US, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Australia, and New Zealand. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/press/2009/0915-mw2.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman273 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Well, never mind, I missed DrunknMunky's Forza post. It's good to see the bundle branch out, although it sucks the Forza bundle is Europe only. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scokem Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 It'll be the Forza 3 package for me - it's a non-custom paintjob which tbh I'd prefer. Plus it comes out sooner :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted September 18, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted September 18, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emn1ty Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4rk5ky Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
