Without wanting to sound like a damp squib... who has that sort of money to spend on each child at xmas anyway?!

More money than sense... children need to realise they cant just have the latest thing, especially at £700!!!

motorguy

absolutely - NOT going to spend £700 on an pack the basis of which will be in every store for £279.99 mid january.

If you check out who's paying the £400+ for xbox360's on ebay. Most have (0) rating.
Are these false/spoiler bids? Sellers setting up a scam offering to 2nd highest outside of ebay regs.? or just Mr & Mrs Ebay Newbie who are buying for xmas?

Give it a week, let the crazy people buy their boxes and snap up one at a true price.

At the end of the day - It's a TOY!

I've just seen a core pack on eBay that some newbie scammer had rocketed up to £1000.

I preordered with Currys on 28th September and had an email today with the tracking numbers via DHL. So I can only assume mine is coming tomorrow.

I sincerely hope you get yours pgilc1.

If it's a toy then I'm a 24 year old child who plays with toys online a lot.

motorguy

thanks daveboy. fingers crossed!

Definitely W1zz, plus as more of the speculators buy them and list them on ebay then the price should drop to a more realistic level....

motorguy

Hey DaveBoy - you're the man! your best wishes paid off - play247 have changed my order status to 'posted'!!

If you are planning on a Xbox 360 for Xmas give it a good run in beforehand. Read this re the launch in the US and the problems that have been encountered by gamers over there, best not to be disappointed.
