HMV are offering 10% off first purchase with their store card. Think they do a Premium and GRAW bundle for £299, so you pay £270. Or, just get the console for £252. Just remember to pay the balance off within 30 days and just cancel the card.

if you sign up for a points card(free) you'll also get £15 of your next purchase.

Damn that's tempting :eek:

Is it possible to store several demos on the harddisk at a time as if I bought one now I'd either have to get the core pack + a game or two or just the premium...

Buy the premium you have 13gb of space on HDD plenty for demos, trailer whatever you want.

Grrr wish I had this knowledge the day before yesterday, got a premium on ebay for 225 and graw for 25 plus 15 delivery for both of them, would have been better toddling off to the shops! Oh well.

I posted that info in another thread not long ago.

Sorry if you missed it first time mate.

Cool, for some reason I thought I read somewhere that you could only have one demo at a time :confused:

I also spotted 360 games VERY cheap (pre-xmas nearly £20) at a competitors site.

Has anyone used this offer? I have been through the order process all the way to the final confirmation page and cannot see anywhere to enter the promotional code?

Thanks

When you view your basket, the box is near the top of the page.

No, a few people with cores downloaded one arcade game at a time as they couldnt fit more than that on a memory card. That could be what you are thinking of.

I currently have nearly all of the demos on my hard drive, and a load of trailers, saved games, themes and gamer pictures with about 4gb to spare.
