    Both deals are pretty awful - avoid the first one as the games are worth almost nothing and the controller is probably rubbish!

    The second deal is half decent however I would wait until the end of the current offer because last time they did the offer twice and the secoind time the £99.99 also included a £19.99 Tri Format steering wheel for free (In addition to the mega pack)

    Yea the first one is a pile of crap.

    The second one is qutie good. As the control/dvd remote you get is offical. Doubt we will see a deal as good as the one at christmas again, purley because the demand wont be there, plus nothing has been stock built ;)

    DS really likes the Halo game having played it at a friend's house, have considered getting an x box, but if these aren't particularly good deals what would be a "good" price?

    Thanks!

    The second one is good but it dosen't seem as good since they did it before Christmas with a free tri format steering wheel (If you understand what I am saying :))

    Go for it though if you want one...I got a few and the bits I didn't want went straight away on eBay :D

    Thanks Johntea! Will wait a while then and see if any better offers come along, ds already has a PS2 and is eagerly awaiting the PS3 (and will be waiting a long time unless I happen to win the lottery - and I mean more than £10.00 - he he!).
