Posted September 26, 2007 Ok, can people recommend essentials for me to pick up when I finally get my 360, as well as cheap prices for them? I'm talking equipment here from the console onwards, don't worry about the games. Unless you know of a good 360/Halo 3 bundle deal. Edit: I don't care about HD.

Posted September 26, 2007 Brilliant. Cheers for the replies......gives me something to do now while watching boring Carling Cup matches. Hmmm, sorted. Using GAF name though, as just makes more sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My only tip is don't buy from Game or Gamestation right now: Their bundles suck arse. Virgin Mega Stores and HMV are offering a couple of decent in-store bundles however, so you might want to check round your local one and see what's on offer.

Posted September 26, 2007 Actually I saw a semi decent one at Gamestation today (I assume it was good anyway?) 360 Premium + Any Game: £260 or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 26, 2007 Nah, I' seen those. "Save £74!" Bollocks. HMV is offering a 360 premium and Halo 3 for the straight £250. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 26, 2007 Nah, I' seen those. "Save £74!" Bollocks. HMV is offering a 360 premium and Halo 3 for the straight £250. Really? Do you know if that's the Pro version of the Premium at all, as if so, then I'll pick one up early next week when my student loan should be through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 26, 2007 Do what I did and order it off HMVs website, put in your student number (if you have an NUS card or HMV student card) and get 10% off a console that you shouldn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what you mean by Pro version. Is that the Premium with HDMI? At any rate, you should definitely shop around. I saw a fantastic 360+Forza+Choice of Game (selection inc. Halo & Bioshock) + Additonal controller bundle in Virgin, but I'm not sure if it varies from store to store or not. Take the afternoon off and have a good ol' snoop.

Take the afternoon off and have a good ol' snoop. Yeh, Pro is Premium HDMi version. (from what I can tell anyway). Just really after one of the quieter DVD drives. I've got Friday and the weekend off I think except for boozing, so I'll make some calls. If I really want to be a dodgy little *** I could just use my old staff discount card for Virgin, and see if I can get 10% on the hardware and 20% off a game...........although really, all I want is Halo 3, so that £260 deal sounds right on the money.

Posted September 26, 2007 If you dont have a 360, I would SOOO get the Halo one. Its so fucking sexy its worth the additional monies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yah, those will apparently have a green "HDMI" sticker on the box, but I don't think the stores have much control over how and when they get those. Just as they come "on stream" or whatever.
