Where's the best place to get a 250GB Slim 360?

I'm wanting to play Call of Duty and FFXIII at the moment, my friends all have xboxes and I wanna join in the fun

If you want to be the envy of your mates try this version instead:

Also you should pre-order the Kinect, it is going to sell out at launch in a couple of months:

Is Kinect really going to sell out at launch? I wasn't going to pre-order but I want it before the year is out.

Depends who you listen to.

MS, analysts and anyone generally in the know are reporting very healthy preorders and predict it to sell very well.
The hardcore gaming forumites are all predicting it to bomb massively and not sell in any large quantity.

I got my preorder in day 1.

Am sure it will sell well but the reports I've heard so far from people who have used it is that it's rubbish, shame.

Well at least we'll get a week whereby the Americans will have at it - still chance to cancel before our launch.

? Almost all the hands on I've read have been very positive... almost all the nagative comments have been from people who haven't actually had a go.

Take these comments from TGS about Child of Eden...

I've played the game quite extensively (E3 level with Kinect, and a brand new one with the stick). Embargo is on the 28th, but I can at least say that it takes about 30 seconds to get used to the slight lag while playing with Kinect (I'd say that the lag on my video in the OP is worse than what I played, or maybe I just didn't notice it anymore), and then afterwards it's quite awesome. And this comes from someone who hates Kinect about as much as anyone can.

I've said it over and over but playing with Kinect is a completely different experience from watching it on video. I didn't feel much lag on any of the Kinect games I played and what little that's there you easily get used to.

I also played it on Saturday and I was VERY concerned with the lag input, it takes a little while to get use too but WOW what an Experience. I was a million miles from buying Kinect but after playing Child of Eden (8 times) I'm sold. I loved the experience I had and I wanted more, I didn't want the experience to end. The motion combined with the music is something that I've never experienced before, I felt like a conductor in a beautiful colourful world. Mizuguchi has nailed it for me, day 1 baby! I can't wait for you guys to see the videos when the Embargo is lifted on the 28th.
