Hi guys been a lurker on here for ages and I think have just found my first bargain, http://www.gamehungry.co.uk/xbox-hard-drive-p-403.htm for £89.98, amazon are doing it for £99, hope its of use to someone..oh oh just seen they have a couple of cheap harmoney remote controls on there as well

That product is an absolute ripoff I'm sorry to say

You can get the components to build I would think around a 250gb drive for the same price and have some change left, it will be a little bigger but do exactly the same job

Avoid it at all costs!

Seems like an excellent deal. I saw these instock at both Gamestation and HMV this afternoon so looks like the bundle isn't restricted to one chain.

The Xbox 360 Premium (which really is the only one worth getting - sure the Core is less but no hard drive, no wireless controller, no Live sub, no Live Headset) package with the excellent Ghost Recon : Advanced Warfighter.

Premium on its own is £280. Ghost Recon is £40 on Amazon so it's a good £20 saving and well worth getting if you've not taken the plunge yet.

How would you connect it to the console, as USB has been programmed to be read-only without any write access to it (from what i've read). As i had this idea also.

Theirfor, buying a USB 250gb HD would not work as you cant save games / download demos etc to it.

Tesco have boxes on display for the xbox 360 premuim that scan at £209. The boxes are white and about the size of a small shoe box. Be aware that some stores have a larger / thinner box and that one scans at £279. Its looks like the premium pack box has the barcode for the core pack.

I got the premium pack today at the Solihull branch and even got the game Elder Scrolls - Oblivion for £20 as part of a promotion. The Solihull store has removed these boxes from display now.
