With a price-drop happening this past Friday, there’s been a fair few decent deals appeared both online and on the high street. Because of this, I’ve titled this post "the most XBox 360 console offers in the world…ever!" - and I’m not joking.
I’ve separated the deals out into three different sections - one for the Arcade, one for the Premium, and one for the Elite.
The XBox 360 Arcade is the most basic of all packages available, as it doesn’t come with a hard drive. What you do get though is a 256MB memory unit, a wireless controller, and five free games from the XBox Live Marketplace.
Titles included are Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, Pac-Man and Uno.
Game have a few different packages available for £129.99:
XBox 360 Arcade with Battlefield: Bad Company
XBox 360 Arcade with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
XBox 360 Arcade with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09
XBox 360 Arcade with Viva Piñata: Trouble In Paradise
Instore at Blockbuster you can get the system with a copy of Mercenaries 2: World In Flames for £139.98. They also have the Arcade together with any other game for £149.99.
Finally, Amazon have a few bundles of their own. Click here to buy the console by itself for £119.98, or to have a look at the other deals that have at the moment (including Gears Of War or Halo 3 for £10, or a selected title for £20 when you buy the system).
When the XBox 360 Premium was originally released it came with a 20GB hard drive. Not too long ago though Microsoft decided to bump it up to a 60GB hard drive, which means more space to store useless crap useful stuff.
This also comes with a wireless controller, a built-in upscaling DVD player, and an XBox Live headset.
Argos have the console with a copy of Halo 3 priced at £169.97 - click here for more details (click on the "Special offers" tab to get it).
Instore at Blockbuster you can get the system with a copy of Mercenaries 2: World In Flames for £179.98. They also have the Premium together with any other game for £189.99.
Pop in to Gamestation and pick up the console with a choice of 2 free titles for £169.89. Games to choose from include Dead Or Alive 4, Forza Motorsport 2, Halo 3, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, and Too Human.
Click here to get the system by itself for £159.98 from Amazon. This link will also take to you to a page where you can get Gears Of War or Halo 3 for £10, or a choice of selected game for an extra £20.
The top-end choice for XBox 360 gamers is the XBox 360 Elite. It comes all in black, and features a huge 120GB hard drive - the rest of it is essentially the same as the Premium.
I realise it can be a little confusing with all the different packages available, but I would recommend this one to the serious gamer only (the Arcade is suitable for newcomers, and the Premium is for everyone else).
Instore at Blockbuster you can get the system with a copy of Mercenaries 2: World In Flames for £239.98. They also have the Premium together with any other game for £249.99.
Pop in to Gamestation and pick up the console with a choice of 2 free titles for £229.99. Games to choose from include Dead Or Alive 4, Forza Motorsport 2, Halo 3, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, and Too Human. Alternatively, they also have a deal where you get the XBox 360 Wireless Network Adaptor and a 3 month subscription to XBox Live for the same price (instead of getting any games).
To buy the system by itself for £219.98 from Amazon, click here. This link takes you to a page that lists all of their XBox 360 Elite deals (including Gears Of War or Halo 3 for £10, or a selected title for £20 when you buy the system).
HMV’s instore deal of the week is the console with copies of Grand Theft Auto IV and Halo 3, as well as an XBox 360 Wireless Network Adaptor, for £269.99.
Phew! Hope I don’t have to go through that again any time soon…
We have a comment. It is lonely though...
