Rumour: Sainsburys selling Wii for £99 and 360 from £99 on Friday

sam84uk

This is a bit off topic but it sounds as if there's a few of you on here who know about the Xboxs. I bought one for my husband in the January sales and got it for £69.99 (75% off, it was £280) but I have no idea how big the hard drive is on it. It doesn't seem to say anywhere on the box or in the instruction manual? It's white and has a detachable hard drive (which says HDD on the side), it has a wireless controller and headset.

Does anyone have any ideas which one it could be? Thanks

Yep, it's a white box and yes I bought it Jan 08 so I'm guessing it would have been from last xmas.

Went to Sainsburys this morning - Wii, with wii sports, controller and numchuck for £149.99.. but not advertised ANYWHERE !!

Went to PC world where they price match and got the exact same deal with a 10% discount !!

Also for the insurance, which was immediate replacement and accidental damage cover for £1.99 a month !! With a boisterous child it`s worth it for the time being !!

So V.happy with our pre-xmas buy !!

Fairly sure the 60gb model wasn't out in Jan 08, so my money's firmly on 20gb

How did you manage to get a price match when there was no advertisment therefore no proof of the reduced rate?

How did PC World check the price or did they just take your word for it?

Does anyone know what stores will be doing this ofer for the xbox for £99, as the only Big Sainsburys near me is Kirkcaldy Fife.
Thanks

Their doing it but they don't have any in stock.

The Xbox deal looks really good, but on closer examination the likes of Game still can compete with the game bundles.

I bought my 360 last week for £170, however I got it with two good games (Mass Effect is definitely a keeper, haven't tried Lost Odyssey yet). On another hand if you're looking at games other than those in bundles, Sainsbury's deal is a cracking one

Plus MS have been rolling out a new revision of the 360 since September, with slightly lowered power consumption as the graphics chip has been shrunk, so you stand to save in more ways than one.
