    Hi, where did you do the Trade In?

    I've got an old XBOX with a pile of games, (unfortunately I didn't think far enough ahead and binned most of the boxes and just kept the discs in a big CD holder, DOH!!).

    Been tempted by a 360 for ages now, just depends on what I could get for my old lot I suppose.

    ps. according to my bro who is a manager at a high street gaming store and a geek, microsoft will be releasing a new 360 before christmas 2008 along with sony and their new ps3
    i read they are considering adapting the blu-ray players so maybe it will be an elite with blue ray built in?
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)

    Anyone got any info on the apparent reduction in price by £50?
    Also anyone know what the best packages are? I don't expect there'll be anything like they have at Xmas, or would there? Perhaps I should have just bought at Xmas....? Oh, ho hum.....

    I noticed today that Gamstation have Xbox 360s pre-owned for £169 with 2 pre-owned games.
    I don't know anything about the consoloe so I can't tell if that is a good deal but they have Black ones and white ones

  • Anyone have any updates on the 360 pricing situation...?
    How about cheap games?

    Not completely true. Yes, they are profit motivated. But most game consoles are actually sold at a loss by the developers. The assumption is consumers will purchase complimentaries, such as games and accessories, and it's here where the margins and real revenue are made.

    Just thought I'd throw that in :)
    Carax.

    The best deal I've seen for the console is at gamestation...get a certain price for the console with one, two or three games.

    Only good game deal I've seen is The Club and Condemned 2 free when you subscribe to FHM...
