xbox availability updates 2 - please post stock availability here

Babbler

My local game had a premium in store for £369 but made you buy 2 games (koing + some other Id not heard of) and a 3rd game of your choice. Could I get the machine and take the games back for their full price (£49 each)? That would make the xbox 360+1 game I want for £269!!

Currys Craigavon have signs up in store saying they have Premiums and Cores (and Pink Nintendogs DSs and Nintendogs games) in stock now.

At best they won't give you full RRP for a game you gave less than that for, if you speak nicely to them, they might refund you the discounted price. Failing that you could flog them on ebay!

Also, check individual game stores as they decide their own bundles, quite a few game stores are doing the King Kong + premium for £299.

If you do buy a bundle, simply take the games to blockbusters, they give better prices on the games, and also allows you to either buy the game you want or rent it.

You could also trade in your old xbox system in at get about £45-£50, well worth it if you dont use it anymore.

Be advised though, many blockbuster stores in the south east have very limited or no stock of 360 software or hardware, so ring first to find out!!

i work in an Argos store served by thye basildon warehouse. We have been told to expect delivery of 360's on wednesday and it will consist of a max 2 premiums and 2 cores. The first stores to get delivery (this week) are stores servered by the following warehouses:

Basildon
Haywood
& Magna Park

Other warehouses will follow in the comming weeks. They are now planning to supply 360's both by store pick up aswell as delivery.

So if you live around these areas keep checking for stock as im sure they will go like lightning.

from the previous post on availability - apparently HMV dont ask for receipts if you are exchanging games.... worth pondering
