I agree that if anybody has a res then the old price should be honoured..after all the date thing on the website was confusing and misleading. I dont think they will refuse to honour it.

Why should it be honoured?!?
It's quite clear on the website that the "4 free games" offer is valid until 24th December.
There isn't (and wasn't) anything that said the £49.98 offer was valid that long.

In store it clearly stated "One Day Only"......

I was in a meeting yesterday morning and my wife was constantly texting me to see if I wanted one.
By the time I got around to responding she'd left the shop!
She reserved one, but to be honest..... I have a PS2 and, with the games I have coming at Christmas, I saw no reason to get it.

Anyone wanting to softmod their xbox should buy the "Xploder lite" from dixons/currys/pc world. It is £0.99p and allows yo to copy save games from a PC to a memory card.

You put your exploit gamesave on the memory card, then get a copy of splinter cell (about £2 in gamestation/cash convertors - you can also use 007 or mechassault but SC is far more common) and away you go. Easiest way to softmod (and cheap too :> ).

I bought an Xploder lite and a memory card, but to put the files but it's not letting me do it! The website doesn't have any information about it either. The manual just mentions something about an Mcode. I can't find anymore about it.

There is a guide HERE on using the xploder to softmod the xbox.

Thanks for the remote link wishingonastar. Is the remote all you need to play DVD/CD's, i.e. no modding required other than that?

The remote comes with a little infra-red dongle that you plug into one of the controller ports. It's all that's required to play DVDs (region 2 only though).

PS. A very useful feature that I find with the XBox is the ability to copy your CDs onto the hard-drive and use it as a mini jukebox.

What a lovely thought ,I am sure the children will love it:T :T

Thanks, we thought that they would enjoy it more than us. They also probably need it more than us, especially during Christmas time.

I doubt that Argos had 15,000 of them, so I guess that not everyone who has looked at this thread has bought one....

35 is quite a good amount of thanks really!

Does the Xbox have the ability to copy CD's onto the hard drive automically or is this a function available after a soft mod.

I've only had a brief look at my new one last night and didn't see anything obvious about ripping CD's.

Thanks.
