Xbox 360 CORE Console + Fifa World Cup 2006 - £129.97


£129.97

60°

FOUND BY: camilesno1 1 year, 6 months ago

STARTS: 30/04/2008   

Available instore in Sainsburys!

Yes I know what people are going to say, it's the core console etc. etc.
But this is perfect for those who have an existing problem with their console that isn't covered by the 3 red light warranty OR a great deal for those who just want a cheap 360 to play GTA IV on.
I asked the staff and they seemed to indicate this was nationwide whilst stocks last (there were at least 2 available in the Haywards Heath branch this evening).

And for those who say "well it has no HDMI" there is a simple solution. Buy a VGA 360 cable for it. It looks stunning on a HDTV and the majority of people will be hard pushed to tell the difference.

Has to be cold - Fifa is worth about £2 and an arcade costs only an extra £20 but comes with 5 arcade games, memory card and wireless controller - worth that £20 - along with being the newer falcon model and HDMI. Just my 2 cents ...

i'm looking to have a 2nd x360 to be flashed ( and keep my halo special edition for online games) - so this could be a good purchase for me if I can use my existing 20gb HD between both units without any risks or problems

anyone know if using a 20g HD from a non-flashed x360 on a flashed x360 could be problematic ?

cheers

Great price. although i have to agree for the extra £20 you get the arcade games pack and a memory card and a wireless pad with hdmi and newer mobo..... ANYWAY

still hot though, my graphics card on my pc cost twice the price of this!!

As for the flashed drive, i'm sure they ban the console via the mac address on the console only, not the gamer account. So switching HDD "should" be ok.
It's not the game iso on a disk detected to be copies that cause the ban, but the way in which the drive READS the games. So a flashed drive playing a 100% genuine retail game can still get a ban. I think the newest FW can counter this? Haven't looked into the 360 scene for a loooooong time
Also people were banned due to playing GTA4 befre release... i'm guessing if something like that shows on your gamer account and you put the HDD in a clean console could cause problems.

Sorry can't give an answer on that but i'm sure there's plenty here that do.
