Do you want brand new or second hand?.
My mate could be selling his and it's less than 2 months old. He got an accessories pack with it but I'm not sure what games he has or price as yet. If your interested I can get some details for you?.

Lee,
I have just spoken to him. He is only selling as he now has an Elite 360. It was bought on the 19th October, is mint, as new and you can have the receipt. Comes with the Bluetooth headset, 2 real triggers, usb hub and whatever comes in the standard box. ( I have no idea). He also has two games that he will throw in. Metal Gear Solid 4 and Resistance Fall Of Man.
He is looking for £300 for it. If your interested.

When i got mine from HMV i just asked to swap the game and they were fine with it, so you might be able to swap fifa or wrestling for something you want if you ask?

My brother got one from HMV last week £300, 80gb ps3, batman on bluray, bluray remote, cod waw and fifa 09(he wanted it) but they do swap games. The best deal around I think.

That's a pretty good deal from HMV TBH, can't see it online but your local store might have offers.

Real triggers are these things that extend the 'R' triggers at the back of the control pad. They're only about £4 to buy.

i already have a 360 as there has always been a better selection of games imo, but now i fancya blu ray player and there looks to be fun games like little big planet so seems like a safe bet

Lee, he has dropped his price a little.
If you still want new, fair enough and I hope you get one sorted

Thats the pack mt bro got but the remote was in a seperate package so dont think its part of it. Its only £15 on play.com so you could buy it seperate as thats a good deal even better when its games/films you want.

You'd be better off buying 2nd hand.

why? an example of a second hand one further up the page is only £50 cheaper and has 2 games i dont want and no films 
i'd prefer to pay extra for new for the piece of mind.

Plus the added security of bringing back to the shop if something goes wrong and for only £50 difference id buy new too, never know how it was looked after etc. No dig to you mate allan just saying what I myself would prefer.

Yeah fair enough if you were buying off ebay but you can take this one back to shop as the receipt will be given .

Is the BD remote actually important?
Just use the wireless controller interface? Doens't take too much longer than using a proper remote, if any extra time at all

The controller turns on in literally a second. I use my PS controller to watch blu-rays and it's really quick and easy. I wouldn't worry about getting a remote.
