Xbox 360 Premium + 4 top games + Extra Wireless Controller - £269.99

Amazon have an amazing offer on the Xbox 360 Premium package until 30th May. For £269.99 you get the following

Xbox 360 Premium Pack
Xbox 360 Entertainment Pack - (Consists of Project Gotham Racing 3, Xbox Live Arcade Vol:1 and a Wireless controller)
Gears of War
Crackdown

This same package is £289 on Play.com, and that WAS the best Xbox 360 deal going until Amazon started doing this. It is only available for the next few days though. At the moment you can't get any better - Its a steal :-)

If you havent bought yourself a 360 yet - do it... Awesome

    Or you could sell the games and keep the extra wireless controller.

    You could, but £229 aint a bad price if all u need is 1 controller and can't be bothered with the hassle of selling the games.

    Plus there are often codes out there for Boots if you look and opportunities for extra avantage card points etc

    And 3.5% quidco:beer:

    So, if you play it right with the codes on the other forum and add up the value of your quidco and advantage points you should be able to get an xbox premium under £200?

    If you put all items in basket, apply code and choose 1st Class Delivery the total is only £272.94!

    And why not add Pro Evolution Soccer 6 for another £19.98.
  • Grrrr, i just got the play.com deal last week... which was twenty quid more >:(

    Bahhh, thats just typical - LOL.

    Was going to buy a premium from boots when they had them in at £249 on Wednesday. They were out of stock so didnt order one. Looks like they have only just introduced that.....

    Looks like they are getting ready for the 360 Elite

    I wasn't saying that buying from Boots is bad, I was just offering another suggestion:

    Looking on ebay:
    Crackdown is going for around £20,
    Gears of War is going for about £20,
    Live arcade about £5,
    PGR 3 about £10,
    Wireless controller about £20,
    1 month xbox live card about £5
    Total: about £80.

    So £269.99 - £80 = £189.99 for a Premium 360!

    So did I:mad:

    Still, £20 is not massive in the grand scheme of things.....

    Triple points on Boots this weekend as well so thats worth nearly £30 alone!
    I reckon all in there isn't much in it and you haven't got all the ebay hassle, fees, postage costs etc

    Like you said - just another suggestion. The bargains are getting better so I'm holding out a bit longer. Would be interested to know exactly what deal anyone gets from Boots with discount codes, points, bonus points etc as I've only really glanced at the offers
