core pack in stock for GL1 postcode (gloucester)

In littlewood online it looks like there is stock.

But in bundle, plus it doesn't add up right.

"
Xbox 360 bundle 1
£399.00

Xbox 360 console plus Ghost Recon 3."

First of all if it is the most expensive xbox (which it does not state/make clear), it would cost £280, plus a £50 game, it should come too £330.

Are they allowed to overcharge like this?

I was talking to a store manager at dixons and he was telling me that he believes there will be a flood of stock a week or so before christmas.

I hope so cause I simply refuse to pay over the odds on somewhere like ebay and I won't be forced into buying one of these rip off bundles with games I don't want that so many shops have decided to milk consumers with.

no stock anywhere in liverpool

My bad says comes in 10 weeks, plus lxdirect (part of little woods), has the bundle cheaper.

Most people want premium package cause its worth the money for the extra £70.

You get the wireless, xbox 20gb hard drive, and wireless controller, plus you can play old xbox games, unlike the core version.

Shop around. Places like tesco.com and play.com are doing all games for £40 already. Don't pay £50 (unless you want to that is).

it is backward compatible but up to now only 200 games are available

upgrades required to hard drive when and if available to download from official xbox 360 site
(either via broadband straight to xbox or download to pc and burn to disc then install from xbox 360 drive)
lotsa people are going to struggle with this!

Is that right? you can only play old xbox games on the full system? - if you bought the hard drive separate would you be able to then?

Many thanks,
