Spec me an XBOX 360

Etaqua · 18 Jun 2006 at 19:44

I've been out of the console gaming scene for quite a while now, since I sold my PS2, and I'm looking to get back into it.

Basically, I have ~£330 to spend on an XBOX 360. I'm going to be connecting it to my monitor, so I'll need the VGA HD AV cable or whatever it's called, which is £20 (unless you can find it cheaper!), so really, the budget it £310.

I'd prefer the Premium version, and two controllers is a must (wired or wireless, no preferences really), but if I can get better things for my money, I'll settle.

Note: I'm not going to the bay for this, can't use it.

TIA.

Etaqua.

You can get a cracking deal on the 360 premium + oblivion for cheap.

Another competitor give you the outfit free with the console.

Only trouble is you can't mention competitors.

I didn't know OcUK did XBOXes :/

Yewen · 18 Jun 2006 at 19:59

They used to, but the competitors do PC bits.

Works the other way round aswell.

i picked up a 360 premium, wired controller, GRAW, PGR3 all for £330 as i bought preowned.
plus the HDD came with a load of stuff already on it, so that was a bit of a bonus

There's another problem with that, The Outfit is extremely poor.

Its FREE, if worse comes to the worst, trade it in for about £25

Etaqua · 18 Jun 2006 at 23:40

Well, I've bought the one Yewen was talking about, and incredible bundle that saved me £70.

Plus, if I don't like Oblivion, I can trade it in and get Dead or Alive 4.

Yewen · 18 Jun 2006 at 23:48

Glad I could be of assistance.

If you need to get rid of Oblivion give me a shout.

Etaqua · 18 Jun 2006 at 23:51

DOA4, Halo 2, Burnout are all to come. I've just got to pay off the loan I took to get all of this stuff...

Yewen · 18 Jun 2006 at 23:59

I will play you online at DOA4. Cracking game.

NokkonWud · 18 Jun 2006 at 23:59

A lot of Xbox owners will gladly swap it for something they've completed.

Have you got the year long Gold subscription?

Yewen · 19 Jun 2006 at 00:27

Yeh I do have, not put it in yet as I still have a few days on my free month, and a 24hour card from fifa wc.

Etaqua · 19 Jun 2006 at 17:01

Ah, nice. I'll only be able to play for a month. I spent all my money, and some of my mum's on this. Just means I'll have no money for 4 weeks.

It'll probably be about 2 months until I can get enough money to pay for the year long subscription!

i got mine FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

got a new mobile phone contract and it came free of charge

Etaqua · 19 Jun 2006 at 18:08

Lucky git! :eek:

In addition to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, I just bought DOA4 (I'm coming to get you, Yewen. Don't hide, I'll find you, and kick your arse with a skantily clad woman), and Halo 2.

My collection is growing.

My wife got a new contract with T mobile and got me a free XBOX 360.
Phone was Motorola Razr V3, £30/month for 450 mins and 900 texts (T-Mobiles Flext thingy).
Had to give up the 9 months half price line rental tho, but that only amounts upto £135.

Good deal, especially my wife paid
