    Re: News - Confirmed : Massive Xbox 360 and Wii price cuts to spur retail war

    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

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

    Re: News - Confirmed : Massive Xbox 360 and Wii price cuts to spur retail war

    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

    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.
