Best 360 deal?

[cK]

I'm contemplating getting a 360 but don't know where the best deals are.

Anyone got any links/info?

 

[ADY 554D]

wait for the elite to come out now..

 

[cK]

How long until the elite comes out and why? whats the difference? is it a completely new console?

 

[jamesp24]

itsjust got hdmi and its black and a bigger hard drive,which you can get for the original 360 anyway, not sure afew months yet.

 

[cK]

I dont know if its worth me waiting because it's not really going to benefit me. I've got a 42 inch plasma downstairs but the 360 will mainly be on my tv in my bedroom which is just a normal one.

Anyone got any links? Wanting to buy brand new really and can't really afford to spend £350 but thanks for the offer.

why would u have the 360 on a normal crt when u have a plasma downstairs? :s

 

[cK]

Because there are other people in my family that watch the tv downstairs and I can't hog the tv all the time with a 360. Granted I would occasionally use it on the plasma downstairs when I could but most of the time will be on my normal crt.

£269.99 inc 3 games.

Can that price/deal be beaten or is that as good as it gets?

Im thinking about getting a xbox aswell but always tempted by the ps3.

Im thinking ps3 more though because i feel it has better games to offer well has a few that i dont think xbox will have.

I thought xbox was HD ?

Ive been told that there is no difference in graphics between the ps3 and xbox also the xbox is much cheaper.

Finally the last thing that makes me want a ps3 more is the fact i keep reading stories on how xbox consoles just die on people



Im confused on what console to buy :S

Xbox 360 I would wait for the revised elite.

PS3 is great, however can you really justify that money for a games console, i know it has blue ray - but that's not the point.

I would wait some months until the prices have gone down and then decide.

 

[T3RRY]

True^^^

i have both and both have their good qualities.

ps3 is quieter, looks nicer, better controller with motion sensors, built in wireless, 4x bigger useable hdd, comes with HD movies capability built in.

360 better online and more games

both got the same graphics and playability with games.

that is the point though, a lot of people are going to be thinking about high def movies now they all have these big HD tv's and to get a console that does gaming and is considered as one of the best bluray drives on the market for the cheap price of £400 is a great buy.

Its actually pretty cheap when you consider the bigger hdd, the built in wireless, the wirless controllers you don't need to buy a play and charge kit for, motion sensing controllers and its much quieter.

Its a steal at £400 (some places lower) and to get a similarily specced 360 would cost more than that so hows it too expensive, what utter rubbish.

Completely agree Add Linux into the equation and you have a excellent media player.

 

[GazCB]

PC gaming is the way forward!

Sorry to steal this thread, Will the new GTA come out on Xbox?

 

[cava83]

Fair enough

If you look at it as a complete solution, then it is not too much, but I already have a top of the end DVD player which cost a lot, do I just through that away if I get the PS3? I am talking just in a gaming point of view.

I will definately get a ps3 over an xbox 360 as the control pad feels much more natural to me to use it is a great console though. (when it goes down more)

It is not utter rubbish, simply saying it is quite a lot of money, if you can buy it without worrying about the money, fairenough. but not all of us can afford to spend money on every games console that comes out

Thanks,

Gabi

Better controllers is highly debatable, infact I'd say that was horseshit IMO!

Ditto^^ flimsy controllers with no force feedback and "motion sensors" that dont work properly and are never used

 

[FincH]

PS3 controller is the biggest load of crap I've ever had the dis-pleasure to behold.

It's worse than the original Xbox controller. Feels cheap, flimsy and stupidly light. Montion sensors are shite and no force feedback; wtf was in the prawn crackers?
