Xbox 360 + Mercenaries 2 From £139.99 *** XBOX 360 PRICE DROP!!***

OH NO YOU DIDNT!

lol

Mercenaries 2 is a fantastic game and so is star wars.

I've reserved a 60gb one from Argos £169 + Halo 3- plus a £10 voucher for spending over £100. Making that £159 for the console plus game. Thats good enough for me as If I leave it waiting to see if it gets cheaper I prob. will miss out.
The Elite was reduced as well, in fact all X boxes were.
£10 offer finishes on 22.9

Both average games,
Mercs 2 gets 73% on metacritic.

I'm sure there must be better games than those for people getting their first xbox.

50% is average, 73% is good!
That's what he said in the first post..

Not everyone has dropped their prices. Play, gamestation, game, all showing the old prices? Anyone know if they're updated in the shops yet?
I'm looking for the best deal on gta4, COD4, Ghost Recon 2, Halo3

That's what he said in the first post..[/quote]

I beg your pardon!!!
He was referring to Blockbuster .......I was referring to Argos! I didnt see the poster mention Argos !!
Have you nothing better to do than pull peoples posts to bits !? All most of us on here are trying to do is help people get a deal.

one good thing about blockbuster is that if it goes faulty within the first year theyd swap it for a brand new plus the warranty will start again with the replacement unlike gamestation and game where it carries on from the original date

If only M$ included a blu-ray player......

Still a great price.

That's the reason why you can pick these up at £139 - Your not being forced into paying an extra £150 on a movie player.

It's a bit like selling a car with a caravan attached. Not everyone wants a caravan

^^ stop winding up the PS3 fanboys!!

Apparently the PS3 has finally overtaken the 360 though. Was talking to a friend of mine who works at Codemasters the other day, and he was saying that their recent games have sold a lot more copies on PS3 than they have the 360.

Which is probably why Microsoft have slashed their prices in the pre-christmas run-up. They're in danger of coming last in this generation of the console wars too.

Not dissing either console here I might add, I'm not a fanboy of either. Just I think more good games might start to come out on the PS3 rather than the 360 now. And I really hope there is a PS3 pricecut coming soon. Because for me? I'd rather have a PS3, at least it doesn't sound like an aircraft taking off while its running.

Mind you, I'm still annoyed iwth both formats for their insistance on users having to go to the expense of investing in HD tvs in order to see the benefits of the new gen.

^^ ^^ Yep, clearly not a PS3 fanboy........ Mate of mine who works for Atari said that they make PS3's from old VHS recorder bodies and that they are made in Africa by Lemurs. Of course, he can't prove it but hey, he works for Atari so it must be true???

I think that you may find that the fact that piracy has hit the 360 quite hard would explain why sales may have overtaken on PS3 which has remained a tough nut to crack. You can't use one software house like CM as a litmus test for the whole console market anyway! The recent price drops are probably more to do with unit sales and production cost than fear of the PS3...... just wish that greatly anticipated game Haze would come on 360...... oh thats right, it was cack!!!!!

FYI, from IGN, not some bloke from the pub:

Xbox 360 Trumps PS3 sales in August
Madden scores a touchdown, but Too Human gets off to a slow start.
by Ryan Geddes
US, September 11, 2008 - Microsoft sold fewer Xbox 360 consoles in August than it did in July, but it still managed to outpace sales of Sony's PlayStation 3, according to data provided by the NPD Group today.

The PS3 had been inching ahead of the 360 in unit sales over the past few months, but in August Sony's machine sold only 185,400 units, compared to Xbox 360's 195,200. It's a slim margin, but it gives Microsoft its first clear sales victory over rival Sony in months.

As usual, Nintendo's systems outsold every other platform in the known universe. The Wii sold 453,000 units, and the DS moved 518,300. Although massive, those numbers are down over Nintendo's July figures.

Here are the official console unit sales figures from NPD:

Xbox 360 – 195,200
PlayStation 3 – 185,400
Nintendo Wii – 453,000
PlayStation 2 – 144,100
Nintendo DS – 518,300
PlayStation Portable – 253,000

On the software front, the month of August belonged to Madden. The Xbox 360 version of the perennial football favorite sold an even 1 million copies, making it one of only three 360 games to crack the top 10 in August. Silicon Knights' Xbox exclusive Too Human moved a disappointing 168,200 copies during its first two weeks on the market, selling about 6,000 units less than Namco Bandai's Soulcalibur IV. Aside from Madden, the rest of the glory belongs to Nintendo, which dominated the software top-ten with Wii Fit, Mario Kart and Wii Play.

Here's a full breakdown, courtesy of NPD:

1. Madden NFL 09 (360) – 1M
2. Madden NFL 09 (PS3) - 643K
3. Madden NFL 09 (PS2) - 424.5K
4. Wii Fit (Wii) - 394.9K
5. Mario Kart (Wii) - 328.7K
6. Wii Play (Wii) - 200.2K
7. Soulcalibur IV (360) - 174K
8. Too Human (360) - 168.2K
9. Madden NFL 09 (Wii) - 115.8K
10. Guitar Hero On Tour (DS) - 111.2K

Look at all those PS3 exclusives dominating the charts......

The amount of 360 owners who play unofficial games is still extremely small, most people don't know that the modifications exist and even a smaller amount of people know how to implement and use them.
