Is there anywhere in the UK where you can buy the 2013 Xbox 360 with a 250gb hard drive :S? Amazon and a few other places I've checked only have the 4gb model :(.

This one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BM2LKZO
I don't think you'll be able to get one in the UK at the moment. By looking at this page: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox360/co.../standard/HomeQuote:

Ah ok. I wonder why :P. Might just buy the 4GB one and then buy a hard drive separately.
Is it just me or is the Microsoft website not working.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/...isplayHomePage displays a blank page
As does:

Had to happen when I want to order it :(.
Loading fine for me :)Quote:

Unfortunately not :(. The 250gb Xbox if it was available would be £199 - the 4gb Xbox is £149 and I'll get the hard drive for £59 meaning like £9 more :L. Plus that's without a headset - not that I need it. Although, that'll be 320gb rather than 250gb for £9 extra so I guess it is cheaper in a way :P.Quote:

And oo I'll try restarting and see :). Thanks!
Ah that sucks! I mean, I have the 250GB model and am no where near the limit. Defo over 4GB though!Quote:

This is the cheapest official Microsoft hard drive though - and I've heard only official ones will work in the Xbox 360 E (can't remember where I read that though), and I guess it'd be more reliable too. Just ordered it anyway :P and at least it's £20 cheaper than buying directly from Microsoft :).Quote:

I wanted to get the E rather than the Slim :P.Quote:

I don't think it's actually the E. The description says it comes with 5 USB ports, there's reviews from last year and there's nothing saying its a new product.
Got 10% off so its not too bad plus top cash back. I phoned them earlier to raise the same question, they told me that it was only recently added, so it is more then likely the new model with the old description, they said the other 250GB Xbox was different, they passed me over the order code and it was the older S model, so fingers crossed, it will be here on Thursday, along with a few games (Also pre-ordered Payday 2 as it looks friggin' awesome)Quote:

Ah that's a shame. Bit of false advertising on their part then.Quote:
