EXPIRED - Xbox 360 Premium & GTA 4 - £199.99 at Play.com

Great Deal, Heated

would be a good deal...but 5/6 people i know with a 360 have had theirs die on them with the 'red rings of death'.

avoid n get the PS3 version.

I think these are the Falcon Chipsets with less chance of RROD (Includes Hdmi)

Good deal, voted hot

Good deal voted hot.

wish fanboys would stick to gaming sites

agree

and miss out on the downloadable content MS paid $50M for? I don't think so!

Avoid because of the small risk of it dying on you!!! Why do PS3 fanboys feel the need to bring it up so much? Yes it was a huge problem, but it is calming with the new models. I have owned a 360 since launch and it has suffere the RROD once. Even then MS collected it, fixed/replaced it and returned it within 10 working days.

I did own bith consoles up to a few weeks ago (sold 360 to buy new one with HDMI) and the 360 has been used FAR more than the PS3. Don't get me wrong I love the PS3 I think it is great but the 360 is more of a gamers machine for me and at this price with a CLASS A game it is hot!!

I will be placing my order right now, I have been waiting for a deal like this for a while.

Many thanks.

I know its off topic but mine died too....

Good deal though, 360 is coming down to a nice price now.... game looks fab too!!!!!

Will be getting PS3 version though (with £7.50 worth of GAME vouchers from the £299 PS3 deal recently to help matters ).

I can confirm (for the benefit of the PS3 fanboy). That the premiums being sold by Play.com are the Falcon Chipset as i received a Premium with Halo3 and Lost Odyssey from them on Friday last week (delivered next day). If it has a manufacture date after Sept and a 175W power supply then they are not prone to the Red Ring of death...

We have both PS3 and Xbox 360 an Wii in the house and I have to say I am far more impressed by the way the 360 sets up at 720p on my monitor than the PS3..

Both great machines but dont make the RROD an issue when the problem has been practically resolved by the new chipset.

Wii is great too by the way

My first 360 died too, about a year after buying it, but Microsoft sent me a new one in about 2 or 3 weeks. Quite painless. Plus, I like having a console that has plenty of decent games on, and one with a competent and thriving online presence.

Great deal.

360 version is the one to get for decent online play with live, voice comms and of course the 360 only exclusive episodic content.

People who buy the 360 now dont have to worry anyway about reliability. It has the best warranty in the console business at 3 years and the new chipset has greatly reduced the heat problems and improved the reliability of effected components.

£199 to be able to play gta4 plus its the full version of the console. Absolute bargain. If you want this game and dont have a ps3 or 360 its the cheapest way in by far...

Also thus far the graphics on 360 games have been better on the multi format titles with better frame rates as the are developed for the 360 / pc first as lead platform. Biggest installed base and easiest to develope for. They are then ported to the ps3......

Take a look at Dark Sector looks absolutely amazing on the 360....There is also a much better back catalogue of games on the 360 and more much have "exclusive" aaa titles....

I was JUST looking for a deal on this. Heat and rep added.

Great Price!

I've had my Xbox 360 since launch and wouldn't give it up for anything (also own a Wii & PS3), it had the so called "red ring of death" once (after about 18 months), was replaced free of charge by Microsoft and I was given a further years free cover as part of their $1 billion "apology" scheme.

I've had no problems at all since that time and am going for the 360 version of GTA for the extra missions and goodies. After all, if you're going to get extra content for a title this has surely got to be the game to enjoy it on.

Voted hot & rep given.
