    Thanks for the heads up about Morrisons. I got a 250gb xbox for £150 and kinect for £85. Even cheaper than amazon which has been the cheapest to date.

    Thank you Lugh.

    Ive wanted an xbox for ages but didnt want to spend as much as they currently cost. The best Ive seen for the 250gb is £169 on Zavvi and I was tempted to order until I saw your post. I did however have a price in my head that I wanted to pay (about £150) so was holding off until I got if for the price I wanted.
    So I went down to my local Morrisons and they had them in stock for £150, even the staff seemed a bit surprised about the price!

    Apparently the offer ends on 18th Feb. And dont expect a huge in your face display - they were displayed on a relatively small red cardboard end unit in generic boxes, lucky I found them on my second walk around.

    I am very happy for 2 reasons - I now have an xbox and it was a bargain!

    It pays to be patient!

    Why August I wonder? Wonder also if it's worth phoning then to find out if they'll delivery before that date?

    Check this out if you're after an xBox.

    Not checked the code so can't guarantee it'll reduce to this price.
