Game - Xbox sale [CLOSED]

They did the same thing last year but it covered all consoles then. This year was sponsored by...you guessed it Microsoft, so it was all X-Box stuff.

For the majority of the hours, most items were snapped up in the first 90 seconds. From what I saw, there were always 50 of each item at the top of the hour but I would love to know how many consoles they sold at £49.99 when midnight struck...

it's still ticking down at the top?!

Officially ends at midnite.. but nothing left to buy.
IF they did another offer at midnite.. it wud go beyound 00:00, so it has definitely finished.
There were 25 XBOX's.
Sponsored by Microsoft and was dated 24.07 , hence the 24/7 thing

Good Post, but I missed it They did the same thing as part of the governments ecommerce initiative, but the offers were hopeless! ie £5 an ancient game etc...

Your right! 23:00 would be last offer as they'd keep it up 1hr to sell out. Although they're selling within 2 mins. If a 00:00 offer came up, it would have to be up till 1:00AM so it ain't going to happen.

2 bargins in the bag but 5.5hrs till work - Time to call it a night

They also had some great PC games in store as well when I was in there today - Half-Life 2 for £14.98, Doom3 for £14.98, Battlefield 1942 triple set (original plus 2 expansion packs) for £14.98. I had to restrain myself really hard to not buy any of these .

clicked instantly on it as soon as the clock struck, put it in my basket then came up basket empty. So got nothing very disappointed. !

That happened on each of the three items I wanted to buy.

I was logged in ready and got to the 'Submit' order part within 15 secs of the turn of the hour... still nothing. Gutted.
