Now that's just greedy.

Oooo very tempted to head down to sainsbury this weekend and pick up the cheapest xbox360 going...

Has anyone been to a Sainsbury's today to see if this is genuine ?.

I'm tempted by the £99 Arcade, but can't imagine many stores stock it in the first place unless they're the larger ones ?.

I never really into console game, the thought of owning Xbox 360 or PSP3 never come a cross my mind. My pc monitor is bigger than my tv, if i figure out how to plug Xbox 360 into my pc monitor then i may tempt myself into buying one

Last time i played console game was on a nintendo classic - super mario brothers lol

Ahh its only a week promotion though.

Just buy the 360 VGA lead and you're sorted, assuming your monitor has VGA input.

If I had my car today rather than it being down with my mechanic I'd go to Sainsburys at my lunch break. Trouble is I know I would buy one. lol. Hmm Nectar points ...

Well, with Sainsbury's doing the 360 Arcade for £99 I just had to buy one along with a £6.99 HDMI cable

The store in Newbury only had the older model, no 'Jaspers'

Will borrow loads of games from by brother-in-law tonight. It'll play all my video files, it supports MPEG4 advanced simple profile (I hope I got that bit right) and H.264 (but not MKV files/containers) so I'm well chuffed

are there any plans to reduce the DS???

Read a couple of posts down

My Mrs is pregnant so she's in bed by 9.30 and fast asleep so lots of Xboxin' for me. I'm more interested in using the media side side of the 360 though, looking forward to playing around with streaming stuff.

I'm gonna wait until christmas, prices might come down even more, with bundle deals too.
