    I don't think there's much money to be made on selling these things. Overall I think the discount was double what it should have been... so £67 cheaper than Amazon were intending to sell it at - which is great if you want one for personal use...

    Once you start thinking about the price you'll get for it (most people would prefer to buy through a shop with a guarantee and the 250GB version is out in November) then deduct any selling expenses and effort - it's not exactly a massive profit.
  • Woo hoo :jit's just been delivered - had a quick peep and it's the 12.1 thingy which apparantly means the newer version which hopefully doesn't get the red ring thingy (you can just tell how knowledgeable I am on these consoles :o)

    shame M$ dumbed down the elite package losing component/HDMI cables

    yup i have an 'old' 20gb pro which i keep as a spare in the bedroom
    its just not worth selling really
    if i could afford it i would keep the 2 elites for the larger HD and HDMI but i couldnt really afford it for a 2nd machine that will barely get used
  • Mine also arrived! With Game pack too. Just wondering who to give it to now...

    Thankyou very much for posting this OP!

    The Plush Doormat is proud to announce the arrival of 1 XBox Elite and Entertainment Package. Time of arrival: 10.03. Weight of arrival: approx 8kgs. Mother and bundle are now having a well-deserved rest.
    Thanks so much to Shoppaholic for letting us know about this. :beer:

    How did you get delivery of this, when your previous posting back on page 6 stated that your order was deleted and that you got no-where with customer services??

    Is there hope for us yet???

    I agree with you hun....my son wanted one of these and the rrp was gonna be a struggle...I do hope you get yours, failing that perhaps the ones who got 5 will sell you one for the same price they paid!!! come on...its almost christmas!!

    Anyone who really wanted one for a pressie, don't despair just yet, there will be good deals before Christmas. Maybe not quite as good as this, but I wouldn't be surprised if you see something similar along the lines of 169 pounds for a bundle deal of some sort, based on the sales we've seen already.
