    Seems like a pretty damn good offer if you like those games and need the wireless adapter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,306 ✭✭✭blahblah06


    Ye its actually the only place who let you pick and choose the decent games. I think the adaptor will be a great add on. I could have added 15 euro and got another game like colin mc crae 2 instead of the wireless headphones

    ive just noticed theres no hd cable. is that normal ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,509 ✭✭✭Damo 2k9


    Seems like a good offer anyway, i dont know much about the hdmi cable coming with the xbox or not :S


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,400 ✭✭✭Vyse


    Don't think the Elite comes with HDMI cable anymore. Should come with a component cable though which will let you play through HD. Most HD TVs should have a connection for component.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 662 ✭✭✭Liber8or


    Xtra-Vision are doing:

    Xbox 360 Elite + One Game for €249.99
    -Games are : Halo 3: ODST, Forza 3 or FIFA 10.

    Xbox 360 Elite + Extra Controller and Lego Indiana Jones and Pure for €279.99

    Hope this helps you with your decision!

    I don't think the elite comes with a HDMI cable. Tesco do them for €6

    As mentioned on another thread:

    HMV are doing Xbox Elite 360 + Fifa 10 + Forza 3 for €225. Think it will be hard to beat that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 261 ✭✭Liathroidi Dana


    Wow I didn't know Elites were this cheap now.. I thought they were at least 300 standalone!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,715 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    I got an Elite last week in Smiths with Forza 3 and Fifa 10 for 249e.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Had my Xbox four years now. It's starting to scratch my games though so I'm going to need to invest in a new one. Can my hard drive on the Xbox work on the Elite?

    Got a new Elite 120GB in NI a week ago, it only came with composite cable, no component or HDMI. Though HDMI cables can be got pretty cheap now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭thebman


    and just to be clear, expensive HDMI cables aren't better than cheap ones so get cheap ones.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,634 ✭✭✭jenno86


    If you're getting an HMDI cable make sure its gold plated! ;)

    Remember you can immediately trade back in the games (for credit) I bought an elite + NFS shift + FIFA 10 in GAME for €249, but they would do an immediate trade in on the 2 games for €30 each.

    When you also take into account the GAME card reward that's down to about 180 for the elite itself.

    Yes the old hard drive will work on an Elite. I just bought a super elite and have plugged in the arcade 20GB hard drive while i wait for the data transfer cable from microsoft.

    1 Controller
    Wired Headset
    12 Month Subscription Xbox live
    3 Games, (2 in box,think its Lego Batman and a Dirtbike game and 1 of your choice)

    Pretty good as its only goin for £179.


  • Registered Users Posts: 159 ✭✭colinod


    Got the 120gb xbox elite earlier with Pure, Lego,FIFA 10,headset, ethernet and 2 controllers for €240 in gamestop


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 122 ✭✭The Aviator


    Yeh that seems good for a first time buyer because it includes the wireless adaptor which i already have!

    But if anyone is looking for a new bundle i think the modern warfare 2 bundle with 250 gig hardrive , 2 controllers , and the game itself is the best deal for 300 quid!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 314 ✭✭Alzar


    Hello all,

    Is this a good deal from Gamestop:

    360 Elite, 2 wireless controllers, fifa10, lego batman & pure for €240?
    Young lad (& myself :)) is looking for one.

    Thanks
    Al.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,715 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Yeah thats a very good deal.
    Make sure its an Elite and new ofcourse,being gamestop i wouldnt be a bit surprised if its preowned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 314 ✭✭Alzar


    Thanks Dcully. Am looking at the catalogue right now, it is an elite (the black one) & no mention of it being pre-owned, even in the small print on the bottom of the page.

    Will double check in the shop tomorrow.

    Al.
