You don't happen to know if they do have the same deals in store do you?

if you can wait a while...

Xbox 360 Processor Change

"The only difference is that the system will run cooler and quieter. Performance will remain exactly the same. Is waiting 6 months for those benefits worth it? That's up to you. But it's not like the new chipped systems will be superior in their functionality or anything."

Cooler might mean less hangs though.

"[xbox 360] makes as much noise as rush hour traffic".

That made me chuckle, brother.

i wouldnt, unless your willing to spend 500 quid and have to wait another 6 months for some decent games to be on it.

if you have a toys r us near you they have by far the best deals on there site for the 360 but alot of the time they show up as out of stock so i could be worth giving them a ring or popping in. game seem to have the best in store deals and asda or tesco could be worth a try aswell. 350 quid from game in nottingham got me a premium console, pgr3, table tennis, graw, fifa 07 and an extra wireless controller.

Went to get one today & they had fook all games in

Read the T&C's & the only game excluded from the deal is GOW ltd edition, didn't say anything about COD 3

Going to try the Lincoln store & see if I have any luck there

today was abit of a gamble though, still a national holiday and probably no stock deliveries since crimbo, you should get what you want by the weekend. if you still want GOW just dont get the ltd edition one then. COD 3 is hardly a downgrade though and something im going to get it january

I'vce decided I don't want GOW anyway, doesn't really appeal to me I don't think

COD3 does though, as does Tony Hawks which will probably be my other choice

looked on the gamestation website they are doing xbox premium with entertainment pack, smackdown vs raw and any other game for £305 this is a good price surely? and what are gamestation like for handling refunds/exchanges should things go pear shaped? as ideally id buy a console from game/virgin

i keep saying this, buy it from tescos, fairly cheap (maybe not THE cheapest) but unparalleled levels of customer service
