Hi all,
Anyone know where you can get a great deal on an Xbox 360? I'm looking for the wireless options ect.


Cheers

haha I got a s*** deal.
Console, 2 games and an extra s*** controller for ~$900 at WOW
This was 2 or 3 months ago.

Got it on 13months deferred payment though, so meh. Although, you'd think that after working in a call centre collecting on ge creditline accounts, I'd have more sense than to get one :(

Good fun though!

I think jb has that for like $800 now

i saw an ad for a 360 premium pack for $560 (around that figure).

I think it might have been JB hifi, but you have to trade in an xbox 1, just the console

we got an xbox360, extra wireless controller, 2 games and a plug n play recharge kit for 770 from kmart.

:O!?
fu :(

Might duck up to JB's at Taringa and check that deal out. Ta guys.

I was looking at a deal at Strathfields, it looks good at 1st but then you look closer. Ie, sign up to the Strathfield mobile 38plan for 24 months and you get a free Nokia 6020 and an Xbox 360 Pro pack. You pay $38 a month for the mobile plan and $9 a month for the Xbox.

You get $38 worth of calls and text a month included + the Xbox. Only prob there is, I dont need the phone, and if I did, you can get hundreds of dollars worth of calls and text for $40 odd a month so the mobile plan is ass.

If anyone else knows a great deal going, let me know.

I got mine for $585 at launch

You mean your mum did...

I launched one up his mum...

i hear Big W is apparently extremely cheap, however couldn't tell you how much they're going for

You mean your mum did...

No she just pre-ordered my first game for me.

got a premium system off ebay for 450 :D

modded the firmware too :P

Holy crap phatmike, well done.
PM me the seller if they have more man.

I was only slightly interested in buying one myself but phatmike that offer sounds fkn great. Was it a used private sale?

Harvey Norman recently advertised for 560 or somethin...WOULD YOU BELIEVE?
if places still got em for 800 thats pretty good for Hardly Normal.

can you still use xbox live phatmike?

800 is the special uber deal, hardlys had the same price

hey guys,

yeah i was watching ebay for about 2 weeks and was looking for a good 'buy it now'. I waited a bit too long on one that went for about 550 and was sorta annoyed, but when this one was up there for 450 BIN I got it and was pretty impressed :P

Arrived within 2 days fine, and worked for about 5 hours..got the 3 red lights of death. Bad luck I guess, most people have had problems with their 360's.

Chaos ensued with MS and the seller but he was fine and all good, sent it off to MS, got it back the next week and been fine since.

Xbox live is fine :)

the seller isn't selling any more systems, it was just a one off, a machine he bought at launch he didn't need anymore.

it sure is tempting to "mod" my 360 when games that don't get released until a month later over here are available to be acquired on the internets

it sure is, but is it worth the risk of microsoft waking up one day and the next patch from xboxlive completely f***ing up your system if it detects the wrong firmware on your drive. that is of course if you play games on live.

You can buy the 360 pro pack for AUS$550 from Singapore. I believe since this is the NTSCj version that's it's the Japanese one so is multiregion.

BoBa,

As I understand it you can only do that with the multiregion titles, otherwise you have to wait for the australian version, unless you have a jap xbox 360.

yeah, was just referencing to TDU which you can acquire the pal version on the internets already, and the release date here is the 28th. And could have acquired saints row and dead rising weeks ago also.

do you have the full version of dead rising yet boba? if so where did you get it?

playing a review copy =)

games are 9gig...

anyway, can't wait for lost planet, that demo owns.

capcom has created the best games of this and just past generation.

re4 (game of the gen imo), dead rising, and other cool s*** like viewtiful joe and killer 7

how'd you manage to get a review copy? I want one :P

Do Xbox 360's fukup a lot? Or is it ok to get em off ebay without warranty?

I haven't had any probs with mine, but the one at work does lockup a lot compared to my own. But i've heard some storries about the red ring of death, and presonally wouldn't get one without a warranty.

mine has worked perfectly and i accidently left it on for a week solid while i was on holidays about 2 months back.

but yeah like boba said everytime ive gone to a store and seen an xbox360 display the console has always been f***ed.

LOTS f*** up. I know that everyone at IGN has had theirs break, and of the 3 people that I know that have them, including myself, they have all broken...

I hope the new mobo or whatever they did to it though has helped it, since it may have been a problem with launch period systems they have fixed by now...

anyway, I bought mine off ebay, it f***ed up but the guy I bought it off had given me his EB receipt and I contacted him and he helped me transfer the warranty over to me with Microsoft. A coulple of half hour phonecalls to MS on my behalf, and one on his behalf and it was done..

still, worth the price I got it for.

you should all stop playing football with your 360's. mine has been on since i got it in launch week and i have never had a problem... i wonder if you can check uptime on it i would be the winnar

mine has had a couple of very rare weird freezes and graphical f***ups but 99.9% of the time it's been swell. It's only ~3months old tho and I use it pretty infrequently

how much you want for it reload ? :)

I just won a brand new xbox premium ( with invoice for warranty ) on ebay for $470 ... I'm stoked! :)

So what games should I get fellas ? I've pre-ordered Dead Rising.

Fight Night Round 3.

Geddit now.

dead rising for sure, should also get saints row and test drive unlimited

get Oblivion stinky unless you already have it on pc? Man thats cool how'd u win it?

Dead Rising
Fight Night 3
Oblivion (if you don't already have it on PC)
Test Drive Unlimited is apparently pretty good but I've yet to play it
Star Wars Lego II (nuff said)
Saints Row is apparently pretty decent too

Woohoo Stinky!
bring it out next camping trip and Glen will bring the projector yeha

Do'h got it home and hooked it all up and then realised it was missing the wireless controller :(

No games for me tonight. I called the guy and he was really good about it, He's gonna give me one tomorrow.

p.s. pete, I don't think any of us have a battery / inverter big enough to run an xbox 360 for more than 10sec :P

SEE! This is why you should have set it up first thing!!! :P
