xbox console + 4 games £49.98! (merged) All gone now ; (

sfboy

I bought this package from Birmingham pallisades, they now have the box but not the games. It's advisable to reserve online as, by the time I got there , they were all sold out (I reserved mine thankfully). Excellent deal and you actually get some decent games! I was going to pay 40 quid just for the xbox on ebay, thankfully I didn't. Note that xbox no longer features in the main catalogue.

It's a shame that people buy them just to put them on ebay... puts many people off a genuine bargain.

The xbox can be manufactured for far less than £99 and MS have been making a profit on them for a long while.

What are the best games for a 10 year old lad

My 10 year old is playing the Fable game that comes with this set and loving it. Also picked up Fifa2004 from WH Smith for £1.

Argos still has at least 3 boxes and games in each of the Bicester, Oxford Botley Road, High Wycombe, Milton Keynes, Oxford Town Centre and Banbury town stores if anyone wants to go in and get one.

Here's an interesting article of what cost what to build.

Can't see anything about the original xbox, perhaps MS will soon be downsizing it the same way Sony did with the PSOne.

Still availble in my local store, but didn't have enough cash

The good news is that they aren't going strong on ebay anymore, so a chance of a good bargain perhaps?

Microsoft stopped production of the Xbox in August 2005 so production costs will be irrelevant.

NVIDIA ceased production of the Xbox's GPU in August 2005, which marked the end of Xbox production and the quick release of the Xbox 360.

Guildford North has them in stock. I have mine reserved until close of business tomorrow whilst I decide whether to go for it or not.

$99 is about £51 (xe.com @ 11:41)
