    ala http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055664327 ?

    No, because it's GAME, not Gamestop

    It is. Just got an email from gamestop saying its available to preorder from tomorrow morning.

    The wording of the email is:
    Exclusive to GameStop!

    Two incredible new Xbox 360 bundles available for pre-order from tomorrow, Friday 25th of September, at 0900!

    * Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 branded Super Elite console.
    * Modern Warfare 2 game
    * Xbox 360 250GB hard drive.
    * 2 Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (black).
    * Xbox 360 headset (black).
    * Xbox LIVE Silver Membership.
    * One-month subscription to Xbox LIVE Gold.

    These limited edition bundles are exclusive to GameStop so you won't be able to get them anywhere else!

    So my interpretation is that both Game and Gamestop are selling the console but you get different trinkets with both.

    No details on price, but the email states:
    Both of these bundles are also eligible for extra credit when you trade in your games! See below for more details!

    So the trade in offer isnt a problem as long as you can get games on the list quickly (last itme the list changed at the start of the new month)

    In fairness, you could apply that to pretty much anything saying that it will be out in the future but just not yet

    I dunno, I'm no psychic! I just think it's a bit stupid saying there's a 1TB drive coming when you've nothing more than that.

    2.5" drives don't come any bigger than 500GB at the moment and there isn't even a 500GB one for the Xbox yet.

    Game is doing an identical bundle but you can get it with Forza if you prefer as well.

    i heard rumors myself about a 1Tb xbox 360 hard drive coming out.

    i think the 250gb is to test the water before diving in with a 1 terabyte hard drive. good idea as going from 120gb to 1tb would be just mad. especially if people dont wont bigger hard drives. the 250gb is just to see the response. if alot of people buy it they will release the 1tb. probably at around the same time natal comes out.

    also 1tb 2.5 hard drives may not be that far away.

    Fair enough, I'm not denying it's possible, it's just that the price for 120GB is so high, even though you can buy a 500GB drive for around €100, that anything bigger would probably be ridiculously expensive. Maybe not but that's what I would think

    But hey don't quote me, I wouldn't be surprised if we're told a price and then suddenly have it changed. I hope it stays at 300 cos I'm getting one!

    Kinda off topic but why is everyone giving out about the 120gig price?? i bought mine and my brothers in HMV for 40 euro each, thats not bad at all. 120 is more that enough for me, i dont run games from my drive and i dont store music (i use media center)

    That was a special offer they're back at 120-130 now which is ridiculous for a 2.5" HDD you can buy a 320 for €80

    OK I was going to order my one in GAME for 300

    But if I paid the Full 300 for the console.... would they be able to come and say that the price has changed ?

    I saw a box in GAME saying the price for Forza 3 and COD for 299.99

    so I believe thats the price, so they cant change rigth????????
