You can get core systems in Toys R us. They are doing a bundle deal though that means you pay well over the odds and get a load of s**t you don't want with it. lol
I've been trying to get a scart lead, there's no chance before Xmas. Good job I've borrowed one off someone who's console didn't turn up. lol

"After going all out on the Japanese launch of Xbox 360 over the weekend, hiring dancing ladies, prancing elephants and over two hundred day-glo green dwarves to ring in the next-gen early sales figures are starting to trickle across the internet. And, let's put it this way, Peter Moore probably isn't likely to be whooping and punching the air too much this morning.
Reuters is reporting that Famitsu publisher Enterbrain has released results of their independent study, finding that only 62,000 Xbox 360s were sold on December 10 and 11 - less than 30 percent of the total estimated 159,000 units allocated to the territory.

By way of comparison, this figure is less than half the number of original Xbox's sold during its Japanese launch weekend in February 2002 - the total number then reaching 123,000. Enterbrain is attributing this slow start for the 360 in Japan - the second biggest videogame market in the world - to the delay of Dead or Alive 4, now scheduled to arrive December 29. The report notes that many customers cancelled their pre-orders after the slip was announced while others postponed the purchase of their console until after the game's release. Further adding insult to injury, Kotaku.com is reporting that retailers, who're contractually unable to return unsold stock to Microsoft, are slashing prices across the territory. The 38,800 yen console has seen a price drop as low as 18,800 yen in some areas - that's roughly 182 GBP, fact fans.
