heyaaa, my nan is buying me a new xbox for my birthday next week and i was just wondering if anyone knew any good bundle deals/console only deals around at the moment?
have been looking at game/gamestation but everytime i order what looks like a good deal, they email back telling me it's out of stock so bit pissed off really.
any hd size/any controllers/any games etc. just looking for a bargain really. :)
new console only though.
thanksss (+14reppp)
Hey :)
I can't tell you if any of these are good deals, as I am sort of out of touch with xBox prices since I got my PS3! However, I got my PS3 bundle from here, so this might be decent..

you might as well get the gears xbox because it (obviously) comes with gears 3. it's like £269 but I know your nan won't mind spending that much on you ;D. i don't know how much longer it'll be on sale for though
you get gears 3 free with any xbox at argos!! and there was a 4gb console + gears package for 159.99 at game i just don't understand about the hard drive thing anymore though so like there's the 4gb one but can i still add an external hard drive to it like the old one?Quote:

ahhhhh the larger hdd's are quite expensive and i feel a bit rude asking my nan to pay nearly 300 quid hmmm. in fairness, i'm not one to play games through cause i get so bored. it's mainly online.Quote:

yes you can - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...E0SWV8ZHKHCAK1Quote:

COD doesn't do it though. the 4gb will be fine for you, because as you said, you only play online. the only problem you'll get is if you wanna get DLC. Most packs for COD are 500MB+and I assume the Gears 3 ones will be big as wellQuote:
