Posted December 30, 2006 Don't get the £60 wireless thingy, its a rip off, you can get much cheaper ones for like £20-40 but are 3rd partyy, byt can be used on any console with an ethernet port. They work just fine though. Awesome, cheers!! Do you know of any specific ones? AHHHH! Play.com sold out:cry: of the bundle I was going to get!!! I'm gonna cry, ahhh! I was planning that for at least 3 days! I hope they get it back or I'm gonna have to put my 360 plans off for a while! (Damn it hurts saying that! :cry: ) I can't find anywhere else with this kind of offer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 1, 2007 Gamestation have the best deals, but mostly in store only. Last time i was in the best deal they had was Xbox 360 Premium + extra wireless controller (official) + any 3 games + PGR3 all for £339.99! Also heard that you can get the same deal for £124.99 if Smackdown is one of those 3 games! Gamestations online deals: http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=xba0002 Cheap Xbox Live subscriptions: http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=xba0002 - £9.99 Look around for Live kits for the original Xbox, a lot of retailers are selling them cheap at the moment without realising they work for the 360 too (although i think they need to be activated on Xbox1) Dont use WiFi for connecting the Xbox to the net, its too unreliable for gaming. Try this instead: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/110264/rb/24145821406 You need 2, so its still going to be £60 but its a much faster and simpler solution for a home network. Plug both into the mains, then connect one of them to your router and the other to the Xbox (via an Ethernet cable) If thats too expensive and you dont mind WiFi's drawbacks then try this for the official wifi dongle: ideal for connecting xbox 360 to internet to go live etc no wires needed . . . it cums up 45 punds thn in vouchers there is 1 with 20 pound of on produstcs 45 and over. Discount: £20 off Minimum Spend: £45.00 Promotional Code: D9 Expiry: Unspecified (Add an expiry date) Applies to: Online or call 0800 068 3687 ring up or use online Have fun http://www.greatuniversal.com/AgNet/product.aspx?brand=GU&cat_id=17&zone_id=0&prod_id=263064&fh_secondid=263064&fh_view_size=47&fh_usertype=guc2&fh_location=%2f%2fagency%2fen_GB&fh_search=wireless+xbox&fh_eds=%df&fh_refview=search Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 3, 2007 Do u get 1 month Xbox live Gold membership with the console or do I need to get the subscription right away? You get a free month. Just plonk it online, select silver membership, then it goes you are entitled to a free 1 month gold membership, say "why thank you kind sir" and accept it, and run free for a month!

Posted January 3, 2007 Go ahead and buy. I really want one over a Wii atm. 2007 will be a brilliant year for the console. I'm trying, aaagghh! Fingers crossed for tomorrow! (Although sods law says something will happen!) I bought a Wii because I wanted Zelda and I know its going to start getting good games soon but I want a 360 now cos it has great games now!!! I just read about Lost Planet, I think thats another one added to the list! Has anyone played the demo, whats it like? It looks awesome and my sister owes me a Xmas present!: peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 3, 2007 I had the first 2 on Xbox and loved them! (slightly prefer the first cos it was in London!) You'll be glad to hear London is in PGR3 too then. Is Smackdown vs RAW 2007 any good cos it comes with the package Im getting? It is, best wrestling game around, glad the series has lost its Sony exclusivity.

Posted January 3, 2007 You'll be glad to hear London is in PGR3 too then. I love racing around London!!! (Makes a change from the usual traffic adn its cheaper than having to pay the congestion charge! ) I was just wondering, my friend is buyng a 360 from america. Will it work here with games and Xbox live and stuff? I would appreciate a swift response since I convinced him to buy one and if it doesnt work when he brings it back here...errrr I'm gonna be in trouble! Thanks!

A voltage converter and a HDTV (or VGA to a monitor) should sort out the voltage and display differences, but he'll have to import most games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
