We are thinking about buying our children an Xbox 360 but want to know the cheapest place to buy it from. However, I am a bit wary of buying it from a (possibly cheaper) online shop that I have never heard of just incase something goes wrong with it.
Does anyone have any recomendations?
Many thanks
Clare

    Thanks M5rcc
    What I forgot to say was that it has to have a kinect sensor - sorry I am a real techno phobe!

    May be worth trying Gumtree in you local area for the Kinect to save a few pennies.

    If she's timid of online shops, don't you think she'll avoid Gumtree like the plague?

    Thanks for all the replies.
    Mrs A - thanks for your idea but M5rcc is right, I would not want to buy an XBox on Gumtree.
    Even though I buy a lot of things online they are never electrical or things that 'work' - I've been put off by friends bad experiences.
    Have spoken to Morrisons and they sell an XBox kinect with fifa 12 for 240.00,this is the best price I can find - unless anyone knows different?:)

    Is that the 4Gb or 250Gb console?
    How do I add a signature?

    What is the difference, both productwise and price?
    Sorry to sound so thick but this is new territory for me!

    Morrisons deal is the 250gb, I bought one today for £140, the console alone is £175, forza £30 and £65 discount.

    The standard 4gb is much cheaper, amazon have a deal for the 4gb, kinnect and kinnect adventures game for £209, you can also buy another selected game for £20. This may be all you need

    I had to get the 250gb as my teenage son uses it for online gaming/xbox live, etc and I believe you need alot of memory for this but I would think that the 4gb would be enough for family use.

    As bevy says, it depends if it would be used online and if so then get the 250GB 1.

    Sites to look at are amazon.co.uk, game.co.uk, argos.co.uk etc

    Amazon had a good deal the other day that was posted on hukd but it was just the console and not the kinect.

    amazon for £209 with kinect

    amazon console for £149
