    Thanks to the OP, picked up two today in Bristol, one for myself and a friend. The guy who served me was very surprised at the price.

    Also, make sure there is a controller with it, there isn't with mine, but if you phone up, they'll give you one free next time you go in :)

    I'M ABSOLUTELY LIVID.
    I've just got back from the Huddersfield branch of GAME, i asked about the pre-owned XBOX, the till worker replied 'they're £35'. I told him about this article and he used a code he had on his till to which £19.98 was revealed.
    I said i phoned this shop yesterday to which the Manager spoke up and proceeded to LIE and say he told me on the phone they were £35.
    I went away to calm down because i didn't want to make a scene on my return i picked up a box and took it to the till.
    He went to the back.
    The manager appeared on another till with a piece of paper in his hand and then went to the back.
    The guy who went to get the XBOX came back and then scanned it, SUPRISE SUPRISE it says £34.99.

    VERY VERY DIRTY TRICKS.

    That's shocking, i don't understand how they can do that?Maybe they wanted it for themselves?I've always wondered that, if this sort of circumstance arose.

    Is there another store nearby you can try?

    Just called the Leicester Branch, told it was £39.99 "off the top of my head"; now stickered at £29.99, and scanning at £19.98!

    Off to get one ASAP for a XBMC project ASAP

    Got one yesterday from Leamington Spa branch of Game. Had to ask for the offer - staff knew about it though.

    Already got one system running XBMC - it is a great product! Can now stream videos to another room.

    Thanks to the OP.

    Many people's view of the world is down to their experience, perception and what they have been conditioned to,this isnt any old MSE reply this is a important and experienced MSE reply :rotfl:
