    agree totally with kenny and would add that i will have my x box360 connected to my 40 inch tv and home cinema system. Whilst it is possible to link your pc to these it looks a complete mess to have all the wires lying around.

    Ive been searching for decent money off the 360 but have come up with nothing better than whats been mentioned here already. Hopefully something will appear!

    I can't find anything better either.

    The same Xbox 360 Full + Game + Controller deal is on the Dixons, Currys & PC World websites. I'm keeping my eye out for a bigger discount code :)

    I've just taken the plunge and ordered a HDTV and the X-Box 360 with Project Gotham Racing 3, as mentioned earlier in the thread.

    The discount codes have saved me a total of £75 in delivery fees, and another £125 in relation to discounts (I ordered the TV seperately from the 360).

    This has to be one of the best threads I have come across in terms of saving me money - I know I've just spent a fair whack but to save £200 is absolutely fantastic so thank you to all who have contributed here.

    Dont want to sound negative but...
    I think you are confusing the core console. This is the cheaper version that nobody is ordering. Amazon link to it..

    24electric deal is OVER the RRP of £210. They are selling the core version for £244.

    PCWORLD: £290 delivered so £80 over RRP for the core console.. but you get a wireless controller (worth £30) and a game (£40).. so still paying over the odds.

    ARGOS: £350. So £70 over RRP for decent version.. with 2 games (£80).. so saving £10, but one game isnt one that anybody wants.

    Also, if you go to asda online you can pre-order games with 15% off till Monday night. So games are £34 each. Therefore cheaper to buy a console for £280, and buy games seperately :)

    Oh, and DONT buy the core console. You NEED the HD , which is £70 on its own , or you cant play Xbox games, or save games etc. Plus u get extra stuff free.
    Be nice

    BEWARE - most places have now SOLD OUT of their PRE ORDER allocation of full system consoles!! A few have some left but make you buy a game and controller too...

    Best deal I found was cashback at https://www.rpoints.com and a £5 discount voucher!

    the boots offer has now closed :(

    Have just put my order in at currys using the £25 discount and going through the egg card link, which will hopefully give me 10% cashback (whcih would be very nice) otherwise greasy palm do 1.5%. not sure what the other cashback sites give.
    I'm thinking it's pretty unlikely that I'll be in the first batch of deliveries, seems everyone is stopping doing preorders on the full console. bah!
