Best XBox Elite Deal

minniemischief

Hi

My son wants an xbox360 elite for christmas - I would be grateful for any info re the best deals. He is only 8 so some of the deals that include games aren't suitable as the games are often 15+.

...GameStation and play dot com seem to have the best prices on new consoles at the moment. Also, GameStation sell preused consoles at a fraction of the price if thats any help...

The Amazon deal is good at the moment if you go for the bundle deal with the controllers and games... it's worth remembering that when you buy an Xbox 360 the warranty is totally vital. Buying second hand/ebay is not worth the saving.

I've had 3 xbox 360s now (2 pro and 1 elite) and used the warranty on every one of them and twice on the latest one... it's worth it's weight in gold. I've also extended the warranty on the current one and used that.

not bad as you are getting two Wireless Controllers so he and a frend can play at the same time. (btw pure is a driving game.)

or you can go all out for your sun with this one.

This deal expires Xmas eve and it may well come with an extra controller as well as Pure and Lego Batman are bundled with an extra controller in a sealed box in this type of deal at the vast majority of retailers.
