    its a long shot but maybe you could get another charger from your local Freecycle group or if yours has a Freecycle caf! then maybe you could borrow a charger to test your theory?

    Also our local game store does re furbs so maybe it might be worth giving them a ring to see if they have a charger?

    Unfortunately the only friend with an Xbox 360 has the non-slimline version, so that was my first plan out of the window! I'll take a look at freecycle though, thanks for the idea. Ours isn't great, always full of 'wanted' posts more than anything else, but it's worth a try!

    You could order the new white Xbox one with sunset overdrive game from sada direct same price with fifa only black console

    pay with PayPal and get £40 off so £309 :)

    Cheers, if the freecycle thing doesn't work or it's the console that's blown, this sounds like a promising option!

    why is this bad?

    could you do a sada v morrisons offer?

    Does it have to be Smirnoff? Sainsburys had Green mark vodka one litre bottle yesterday one litre bottles for £15 and mysupermarket were giving £1.50 in cashback

    Green Mark 1L vodka in M has extra points, can't remember straight off if that's better or not, is the Green Mark vodka in Sains the same as the one in M?!?:think: Therefore, Mvs S (?), and can we get Match and More or can we go through msm online for M?

    Why is that?

    Amazon charge a restocking fee unless the item is faulty and I think I'd also have to pay the return delivery charges, so I'd be out of pocket.

    Hi, as for Xbox prices, theres been loads recently on HUKD. There was one with Alien, Forza & Evil within for £305 from tesco using a new customer £20 voucher. The games could be sold to CEX for £95 so total for Xbox alone = £215. Keep an eye out over there.

    Thanks, I'll have a look over there and see what I can see. I don't use it very often though, do you know if there is there a way of putting an alert up based on key words, eg 'Xbox'?

    Check your receipt, it didn't compare.

    Excellent.

    I've got some very ancient comfort I stock piled form the days when MOCs and clubcard points were abundant and some of the bottles have formed a solid lump, I think I need to be ruthless :D

    I just give them a good shake every few weeks to stop them clumping up

    Nice maths - I think I would still be happy with the conditional spend only being worth £1.49 in reality
    at least my Morrisons conditional spends only expect me to spend £20 - my sainsburys ones are for a £40 spend and my Tesco ones for a £70 spend

    I think there will be people who like my approach that tries to make cond.spends virtually worthless:rotfl::rotfl:. I've no idea if my maths is correct or not btw:o:o:rotfl:.

    My DS's xbox 360 also recently died, so we went halves on the newest 500gb xbox 360 from Asda. No idea if it was the charger or the console.

    He bought himself the xbox one on launch day last year with money he made flogging the stuff he no longer used as car boots (we spend many many Sundays at car boots last year!). However, you cannot play with other people across the xbox platforms, and 95% of his friends do not have the xbox one, so he can't play with them.

    If your hubby plays a lot of games against other players, and they do not have xbox one, he may be better buying the new 500gb xbox 360 console.

    I had wondered whether he'd prefer a new Xbox 360 instead, but he only ever plays when his mate comes round, or on his own as practice for when his mate comes round (although he insists that he doesn't and that his FIFA 'skills' are due to his natural talent :rotfl:)

    As he's only playing offline I'd assume that either console would be ok?

    Please can I ask is this the white version and which size- I think there was two versions at least with bonus points but one didn't seem to be matching this morning

    The Comfort I think is the Tropical Burst version from memory or the Blue Skies version. Both of them have points the same as each other. I checked and each of them is £2 in A.

    EDIT: I've highlighted your post. Oh! So one of them has stopped comparing?:idea::eek: Or now has same price at A (£3.70:eek:) in the system?:(
