    Is the premium pack the latest/best XBox out at the moment? Is it the one with the large hard drive? €399 in Smyths with those 3 free games is a great deal....so much so that I thought it was an old version of the XBox???

    Nope the Elite is the top of the range, then comes the Premium..

    Forget the bundle info and the dollar prices obviously.

    How much is it in Virgin?What games come with it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    I'm on a bit of a budget at the mo so does any1 know where the cheapest 360 premium of all is????? Dont want core(unless an absolute bargain) because of cost of hard drive, wireless controller, component cable etc...
    Will buy pre-owned . Willing to take a chance with reliability.Dont like ebay....

    Personally, I wouldn't.

    Even if you have to wait a bit longer, try and get one of the newer boxes.

    Do you say that because of the hdmi output or because the newer ones are more reliable???

    Because presumably/hopefully MS (if for nothing more than financial reasons) have improved reliability.

    And check out the 'I don't f**king believe it' thread to see that people are trading in fubarred consoles and retailers are taking them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    I'll ring around next week.It would be great 2 get a pre-owned 360 with hdmi output but i'd have to get real lucky.By the things i've read about reliability, i cant be taking much more of a risk with a used one. I may still get a new arcade model yet though..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,568 ✭✭✭savemejebus


    Virgin - 359 for premium console, forza 2, extra controller and Halo 3 (if you ask nicely the manager will let you swap forza and the extra controller for any other game) - Ok deal

    Best deal i've seen is also in Virgin. The Elite with the same games deal for 440. Great value

    Thanks.:)

    That's not to bad,Forza will be fun and I'm sure Halo will keep me occupied until I can get something better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    Thats made it tricky. You can get a premium with ANY two games for 360euro in harvey norman or a premium with forza2, halo3 and another controller for 360euro in virgin.Hmmmmm what would halo3 be like for a complete newbie to the whole halo thing???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    Does any 1 know if that virgin deal mentioned above is still ongoing???thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 91 ✭✭hurleyd


    Was in HMV today and they had the premium console with Halo 3 and the new Need for Speed for €350.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    So waht are the best deals on 360 console at the mo????


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 249 ✭✭Hypnotoad

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    360 in argos with halo3 and forza 2 I THINK

    so many bundle deals i get confused.

    think theres a good one where you can get halo and any game you want for 360, not sure though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 947 ✭✭✭LanceStorm


    trying to figure out if the xtra vision deal is a good'un??

    400quid
    Xbox Premium & Halo 3 & Forza & Some other racing game
    & extra wireless controller

    sounds reasonable yeah?

    all im really looking for would be Xbox 360, Halo 3 & Extra Controller tho...!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,993 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken

    The excellent deal in virgin for 360euro has ended so now the best deal is in GAME or Harvey noman although i think the stock in Harveys is rather old so make sure that it has atleast a hdmi port
