    A fiver bet says that by Christmas they'll have over-heating issues again.....
    Personally I'm going to stick with the one I already have.

    Chances are - as it's a new piece of hardware, there's gonna be problems. Although someone on the xb forums mentioned there are issues about the heat it gives out (american-released models), and in fairness as someone said on there - it's better that the console is sending heat out thus preventing the internal parts to heat quickly.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    That would be very good offer.

    If I'd get 1, I could sell my old one :D

    I can confirm that Sainsbury's will be selling this for £139.99. I work for them and have just checked. It should also be online if you don't fancy waiting in a massive queue!

    Hope this helps.

    If this is true it's an amazing deal, wonder how many Sainsburys will get in know, can't imagine they will have many.
