Where to buy XBox 360 E aka the 2013 edition

spr1nt3r

Any idea where to get one in Ireland?
I have seen Microsoft presenting new XBox One and rebadged XBox 360 at E3. I am looking for XBox 360 with Kinect and 4GB storage to have some fun with the family during rainy evenings. Not many stores in Ireland state weather or not their stored model is the new one. Amazon UK has no news yet either.
Thank you kindly for suggestions.

p.s. am looking for new sealed model, from a shop with receipt; please don't offer used items

I just don't see Kinect yet for some reason.

True would you not buy the Kinect separately?

I would, gladly. It is nearly the price of console though. At the moment "old" slim model is retailing for €200 with Kinect, game or two, controller and 4GB storage. I am just wondering if the new one will be around that anytime soon. One would expect since the hardware did not change manufacturing must have become cheaper hence the price should drop.

IGN's take on the new 360 was get the old slim while you can. Here as well..

That new super slim 360 is next dumbest thing from MS. Making same Xbox with cut down stuff and sell it for same price when next gen is coming out.. Who the feck will buy it when second hand market will be flooded with 360 in the next few months.

Worse. It isn't the same Xbox. It's a worse Xbox as per the link in the post before yours.

Fair enough guys, I would say the same. However, I need one now not in November. Also GTA V is going out first on XBox 360 and PS3 so.. Not only I get enough joy out of my XBox (buying Slim 2012 version btw, Xtravision sells for €250 with 250GB drive) until November, I can play my favorite title as soon as it is out and I can sell the darn thing for at least half the price some time next spring. In my book this period of time is worth €100.
Besides, new consoles are €500, who the hell will buy one? I rather plant NVidia GTX 760 in my rig and add Oculus Rift when it is out. Now that's next gen.
