The brit Out: There's a new (old) sheriff in town :O

What's wrong with it?

It was made by Microsoft.

Zing!

[Inferno.]

Shame.
No warranty to cover that.

Damn am I lucky then, got the phat boy since late 2008, no RRoD, no hardware crash, nothing.

Its time will come. They're all living on borrowed time.

[Inferno.]

They're £140 new.
Borderlands 2 is £39.99 new.

How is £160 for both not a good deal?

Hard to argue against that . My 360 RRoD'd almost immediately after I bought it (used), I sent it in to Microsoft for free and haven't had any trouble since.

Consider yourself jinxed. *wiggles fingers at you*

Don't say that.

[GradyWilson]

Even more so when you consider I'm 360-less until Friday, as mine died tonight.

RIP Xbox slim 4GB, manufactured March 2011.

I know that Jackie is 'The Darkness' from those 90s indie comics, but not 100% sure who you are...

Well, you are talking about 360 and it seems that you are English, so I'm going to guess Danferno.

PS3s and 360s are becoming cheap round here now....sucks the bag that so many non-U.S. folks have to take the shaft on prices/availability....ah well, I'll always help where and when I can.
(Kouen told me that a dealer/seller in Norway told him that he hadnt even SEEN a GB Micro in the flesh...disgusting...lousy distribution... )

X-Box hater, Beelze? heheh... Shamefully, I sort of am, myself....actually havent played any XB games, so I cant rightly say.

1 year left.
Because Microsoft products go kaput after 5 years

I'm used to US prices, that deal is around the same difference as getting both separate.

[GunSlinger Boy]

This^^

Although technically it's made by FOXCONN, which by default is crap for most things.

My memory cards should be here either today or in the next two days:impatient:

we need an impatience smily

True, but keep in mind our prices include 20% sales tax.

[Sheik]

True, but keep in mind our prices include 20% sales tax.

Basically more win for the deal over there, right?

[GradyWilson]

$180 USD for a decent used 360 in the UK, then? Or am I off?

Same roughly for a PS3 there?

It ends up costing what the console and game would cost here before tax. Foreign prices are crappy.
