Have heard from a reliable source (Sainsburys management) that on launch day, sainsburys will be selling the xbox 360 elite slim for £139.99, the same price they are selling the old model at currently.

This will be the console only (no extra games)and will only be on for a limited time and only likely to be the opening weekend, but not confirmed exactly how long. Really need to talk my wife into letting me have one now!!

A MASSIVE THANKS TO adamrwood ON HUKD!

CONSOLE RELEASE DATE FRIDAY 16TH JULY

THIS DEAL WILL NOT BE HAPPENING.
THE CONSOLE WILL BE £199.99 OR £209.99 WITH A GAME (5 GAMES TO CHOOSE FROM)

    Should have more info tomorrow, staff will be finding out if the info is correct.

    £126 with staff discount & staff might be able to jump the queue as well!

    ahhh...yes, the queues! I remember queuing for my first ever XBOX - for 6 hours!! This certainly does sound like a great deal though.
    It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it.

    A fiver bet says that by Christmas they'll have over-heating issues again.....
    Personally I'm going to stick with the one I already have.
