Anyone know anywhere that is selling the full system at the moment?. Shop prices only though as i'm not paying over the odds on ebay.
I have Tuesday off so i thought i'd try and pick one up.
Thanks

www.xbox360-offers.co.uk lists a few retailers with core systems but as yet no sensibly priced premiums.

It is updated daily during the week so worth keeping an eye on

try woolworths, game (ring them they get weekly deliveries (usually friday)
argos...dixons have core systems sold with big bundles (bit of a rip off)

Maybe this is why there's a problem finding Xbox 360's?

Take a look at their production line!

We ran out of those chrome DVD trays last week. We didn't know what to do. We had to down tools until our supervisor found an old silver marker pen which enabled us to convert a few hundred of those core machines, you know the ones that nobody wants". Chen chuckled "After we'd bunged em into the white boxes nobody could tell the difference."

Chen continued "This isn't the only problem we're having to deal with, we've got 200,000 Premiums just sat out in the warehouse doing nothing. All of em just waiting on those phony 'Limited Time' bonus media remote stickers", Chen added "Those little green stickers are like rocking horse sh*t !"

Just for reference, took a trip to Cribbs Causeway in Bristol the other day. Game, HMV and Dixons all had limited stock and werernt asking silly money for them. Seemed to be interest in buying one, but not huge queues or anything. Price and limited game availability seems to be detering many buyers...

Stocks drifting through though - should not be a problem now.
