whats the difference between this 360 elite and the 360 s?

Different shape, Quieter, 250gig HD, different chipset inside uses less power and produces less heat

thanks OP, great deal, hope most people managed to get one. mine's got … thanks OP, great deal, hope most people managed to get one. mine's got aug 2009 manufacture date. one thing though, the box wasnt sealed, the circular sticky tape wasnt in the correct position in order to seal the box, it was just stuck on the flap- doesnt look as if its been taken off though- all contents inside are sealed in plastic bags- has anybody else had an unsealed box?Was wondering as its a bit odd, i had a the old xbox 360 hddvd drive bought from gamestation, it was sent directly from microsoft but it wasnt sealed, i was told that microsoft refurbished them and sent them to gamestation unsealed as they did with the consoles. I really hope its not the case with these consoles and that they are brand new- just odd that my box wasnt sealed properly? any body got any suggestions?Read lessRead more

If the box was not sealed and yet all the contents inside were sealed in bags then you can presume it has either been box opened for what ever reason inside the shop, or is a customer return box opened but contents unused.

However, in my hazy memory I dont recall whether the bags inside are sellotaped or left open?

*Edit, rereading this, you can presume that during packing at Microsoft the seal was just slapped on in the wrong position and didn't seal the box*

thanks for the reply dude, contents are all sealed, ur probably right there the sticky tape was probably slapped on in the wrong position- it doesnt look as if its ever been tampered with either. just wondered though and hoped these are not refurbs or something, wondered if anybody elses box was not sealed like mine?[/quote]

Pop off the faceplate and check the warranty sticker, if it was a refurb then there could be traces of an existing sticker, and most definitely scuffs over the casing of the 360 itself. I somehow doubt it though, as summised it most likely was just the outer seal sticker put on in the wrong place

are these still covered with the 3 year rrod warranty from microsoft?i … are these still covered with the 3 year rrod warranty from microsoft?i know that the new ones aren't as its meant to be "a completely new design"also any reccomendations for us newbs to the xbox world on how to minimalise risks of RROD, scratched discs and overheating?cheers guys!Read lessRead more

Easy, don't mod the firmware on your drive if you plan on using Live, so you don't get banned and retain the option of being able to install the disk on your newly acquired adequate sized hard disk. Less heat generated with not having the 360 drive spinning + less noise (the drive spin makes far more noise than the twin outtake fans) and no scratched disks (however you would only suspect scratched disks from mishandling and moving your 360 with a drive spinning, which would be foolish anyway!)

Ensure you have adequate ventilation around the unit, and with a Jasper you shouldn't run into any problems.

The option of Hard disk installing games is the best dashboard update MS have offered, but be careful, it is one thats taken away from you upon a XBL ban.

Hmm. Two show/display cases (DVD box) on the shelve at my local, but not in stock. Or so they say.

went to Morrisons in Peterborough... was £199 on display just normal 250gb without games.
asked to check at till... it was still £199 and they didn't have a clue about the £99 deal....

had a few of the £15 games, but didn't have heavy rain... so got some original source shower gell and that was it...

Good luck finding these!!!

My Store has 20+ in stock.

How about naming your store then?

I'd rather not as my contract contains a section on information leaks, but I can tell you stock levels of these are quite good throughout the south east. My other deal for the wii fit is in much tighter supply.

Discussing non public domain pricing would be the more serious issue.

thanks for posting this deal-I think you misunderstand your contract tho-the information leaks they are referring to will be confidential company info,trade prices,margins etc-there is no reason whatsoever not to divulge prices such as these-its an offer for the public,its not a secret,its good publicity etc etc-this and other such forums have many members who work for the supermarkets and they post deals,prices and stores that have them all the time-there is no breach of contract involved.

this

is a really good price for a brand new unit

Potentially hot - though people are daft to vote hot until they actually are confirmed t this price.

I've no reason to lie, if you want one get yourself to a large store and they'll be there.

Is it just the south east stores? Any idea on North West stock levels?
Thanks.

I've voted hot, because if it is true, this really is a great deal...

This will be nationwide, all Morrisons deals are.

have just spoke to 2 north west superstores no stock no dates not had any in for a while grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Great Ape

No there not actually. If you want an example, the remote control sockets.

I'm presuming this is the old 360 and not the new slim? If it is the older shape, I'm presuming these will be the newer jaspers?

Are these the consoles with HDMI and do they come with a Harddrive? If so then i'm sold! Only console I need to complete the current-gen collection.

You mean a whole 20 items to share between your shops thousands of visitors a week, like finding a needle in a haystack

Well not everyone is going to morrisons to get the 360 about 2-5% would know about this deal. So its not like finding a needle in a haystack

I don't believe you will get a HDMI lead (you used to until Microsoft decided to stop supplying it) but you will get a 120GB hard drive with it.

whats the difference between this 360 elite and the 360 s?

Great! I know where I will be heading Monday!

Thankyou. Weve got some cokezone points and im not sure wether to get the bluray player of there and the xbox 360s from a deal like this - or whether to just save up more points and get the xbox 360s 4gb from there.

i wouldnt bother getting the 4gb 360 myself, the whole point of the larger hard drives is to install games to it to save wear on the dvd drive and/or for downloadable games from the Live Arcade. The 4Gb machine just doesnt give enough space for this whatsoever and is only being marketed for new users who want Kinect - i fully expect it to be discontinued within 6 months and replaced with a larger hard drive model (though still smaller than the 250gb in the regular slim)

also: is this not the pack that comes with an extra pad too? just Lego Batman/Pure is part of one of the wireless entertainment packs that comes with an extra pad usually.

to OP, thanks for the info,will be checking out.

funny how everyone knows what your contract says and means isnt it,these armchair experts and so on.
to a few people some companies dont like staff talking about up coming deals,unless you are in marketing.
i know it sounds stupid as you are promoting the company but its the way some work.
last company i worked for had the same thing in my contract.

alot of stores or staff wont know of this until it goes live.

Pretty damn good, considering I paid £300 for my Elite in October 07 X)

Lol at ppl in here, if the OP has posted a deal why try and intimidate him/her to let all of you freaks know which store he/she works in?
Thats down to the OP why try and think you know the contract terms better?

This is a great deal. Prices of the elite have gone down even more than I expected with the release of the xbox 360 S. Even if you don't get the lego batman/pure deal and you just get the elite on its own, you can get it online at game/gamestation for £4.99 delivered. This is not my deal, I just remember seeing it

hey Great Ape - I was not saying you are a liar - just that as its not available yet and it's not official - then people should hold off on voting. IMO

What does kinetic system ready mean anyway?? Isnt that just marketing tat?

I think it's a great bargain with the pack. Not sure if it's that great for the ones without the pack, considering the Elite is out of date in some ways. Smaller HD than the slim, less USB ports, no Kinect support, noisier.

Oh, and no built in wifi
