Sigmatic:
It depends really. If you go with the Amazon deal and you try and sell off the extra stuff, the wireless entertainment pack with the 2 games is only going for £26-£28 on eBay and that's the one with the black controller. If you actually need a second controller and want Pure and Lego Batman, then the Amazon deal is better, but otherwise I think the GAME deal is better.
Not sure I see the logic with this.
Amazon: elite with 2 controllers + 4 games = £199.99
Play: elite with 1 controller + 1 game = £199.99
To do a fair comparison you need to compare like for like so if you take this back to how much it would cost for just the barebones elite with 1 controller
Play: elite = £199.99 - £45 (I'm going to use a high price here to show how disappointing this deal is - as well lets face it you wouldnt get £45 trade in) = £144
Amazon = £199.99 - £28 (your quoted price of wireless pack) - £29 (cex price of forza 3 *)- £29 (cex price of borderlands *) = £113.99
* Both games available in the amazon deal at time of posting
For both the above deals you would have the xbox elite with 1 controller.
With the amazon deal you could buy the cod modern warfare 2 for £43.99 (@amazon) and you would have the play.com equivalent deal for £157.89 saving you 40 quidish deal if you sold the bits off as above. OK its a bit of hassle but its a substantial difference.
Sorry deal is cold from me.
