Cheapish XBox 360 Premium "Packages"

billymac

As you probably know HMV are selling a Premium package including the Console, extra controller, PG3 and Table tennis for £299.99 however various tries have been made to get the % discount codes to work on that and get the 12% Quidco applied which should not really apply to consoles but sometimes seems to work. HMV rejected orders the last time the 15% discount voucher was tried.

For those who don't want to take the risk of getting either the 10% HMV discount and/or the 12% Quidco declined I've worked out how you can get this package by a different method for £257.68. It would also allow you to pick the games you want and not be stuck with the two in the package. Here's how I got there (bear with me, it's quite a drawn out process):

(i) X-Box 360 premium through Boots just now is £279.99 - 10% discount through voucher (£28.00), 12% back in boots points which can be used in store (£33.60 applied based on price before discount) and 6.5% Quidco cashback (£16.3 leaves a net price of £202.01.

(ii) Extra wireless controller £27.99 from CD-Wow using special link in the accessories thread less 5% Quidco (£1.40) leaves a net price of £26.59.

(iii) Project Gotham Racing £14.99 from Powerplaydirect less 4% Quidco (£0.60) leaves a net price of £14.39.

(iv) Table tennis game is £14.99 from Play less 2% Quidco (£0.30) leaving a net price of £14.49.

Hope this helps someone - I've just gone through this on behalf of my neighbour who is looking for the best deal for Christmas so thought I would share the results just in case it helps someone else.

The other option she is considering is the same as above but with Pro Evolution Soccer instead of Table Tennis which can be sourced from HMV for £26.30 after deducting available discounts (£5 off £35, you need to add something else in to the basket as the game is £34.99) and 12% Quidco. That package mix adds to £269.38 which is a decent saving on the usual £299.99 charged by Game, etc.

Thanks billymac

Can you assist on where the link is in the accessories thread? I've searched and can't find anything.

Sorry that post is actually on HUKD (the dangers of simply cutting and pasting). I'll not post a link just in case it's not allowed - do a search on the HUKD Hot Deals forum for 'XBox 360 : Cheapest Accessories' and the details are on the first page.

Thanks OP - gone for this. Looks like it's gone through fine and should come in as you say at £202. Now I can choose the games I want. :dance:

Sorry to ask a silly question, but to which voucher are you referring to?

Pity the PG3 price has gone up; an alternative for anyone looking for both PG3 and an extra wireless controller is at JLP http://www.johnlewis.com/Computing/Gaming/Gaming/Games/1971/230403880/Product.aspx.

The price is £49.95 however there are a few vouchers available for £10 off and free postage (think you would need to add something else in though as these are spend over £75) and you would get 3% Quidco cashback.
