Cheap Games Console deals discussion

fozzeh

The PS3 ones has been on for a couple of weeks now...I cheekily asked today and they did say that a very good deal will be coming out in the near (4 week) future. I'd guess something like what's there (1 new game, 2 older, 250gb) but better! Will just have to wait and see.

RE: the amazon deal (150 with 4 games + controller)



Xbox arcade + extra wireless controller
Pure + Lego Batman
AND 2 latest games (including Avatar – the game, Borderlands, Dragon Age, Left 4 Dead 2)


IF YOU WANT TO SAVE MORE MONEY WHY NOT TRY THE FOLLOWING


trade (example games: left 4 dead/dragon age) you can trade everything (except the console of course!) and make back either 65 pounds in cash (games and extra controller) or 83 pound trade in CeX (www.cex.co.uk) to either spend on alternative games (CoD5?) or anything else – in practicality this means you can get a brand new xbox console for 70/80 pound and have left over cash/trade to get games/gifts people might actually want (as opposed to the selected games offered by amazon!)


hope that helps some people in some way!

I just got the PS3 from pixmania, using a £6 off code, for £222.80 including delivery. Not too bad, would have got a bundle but my OH isn't keen on any of the games!

One of the items offered at Amazon on the bundle deals page is the "Wireless Entertainment Pack". That includes two games and an extra controller.

Get that as one of the "two free items". You can then choose another game as well.

Make sure you only add items from the actual bundle deals page though. There are lots of different Wireless Entertainment Packs at Amazon.

The discount for the items is only shown during later part of the checkout process. For some reason Amazon doesn't apply their discounts to the basket.

Just ordered one for the boys, the wife is going to kill me!!!!

Make sure you take note of the blurb under each game offered on the bundles page - some of them will not be with you for Chrsitmas, Halo 3: ODST being one of them so be careful.

Cheers for the heads up!!!

May not be nationwide but might be worth a check all the same.

Gamestation store locator

If Gamestation don't have any Xbox 360 Arcades for the price I've mentioned above then try ShopTo as they are presently selling these for £109.94.

can anyone tell me if this is a good deal please

xbox 360 elite 120gb
plus forza 3, halo 3, lego batman and pure
£199 at tesco

it seems like its value for money but as i am an xbox novice buyer i thought i would ask here first (its for ds who is 14 if that makes any difference)

thanks

Pretty good deal, though Forza3 is the only very new release there.
Similar to some deals at Game. Its been a while since I saw an xbox deal which looked like a steal, so its more a matter of whether the bundled games are ones you wanted in the first place.
