last week and it cost me...

£230 including Halo 3 free!!

Woo hoo!

Good choice of a holiday me thinks.

Actually I was really lucky as the shop in Jersey had a promo on that day.

But you can't beat a price like that, can you??


Edited to note that the price before was wrong.

Not a bad price at all mate!

Premium is due a price drop to 195 I think (and is available online at this price) but an Elite + game for 230 is a damned good deal!biggrin

Where did you find it for £230?

That may help me convince MrsR that its not "300 quid for another box that you wont use and just collect dust with"... biggrin

I managed to walk in to HMV in St Helier on the Weds of the week that Halo 3 was released (think it was 26th Sept??) and they had a stonking offer on. Buy the elite that day for £255 and get Halo 3 free. I was going to buy one when I got back into the UK but thought stuff it, I'll get it now, too good a deal to miss.

I was crafty and used my student (ha ha) card to get an extra %10 off, making it around the £230 mark. The only thing that bothered me was getting it back home. But as I was on the fast ferry from Weymouth and not flying I just took it on in a big bag as 'hand luggage'. Oh yes!! Them things weigh a tonne though.

My only draw back came when I got to the end of the day (after lugging it and my suitcase around for 6 hours) when my Sciatica returned and is now giving me pain, but it was worth it lol! True gamer at heart me!!

Edited to add that because it was such a good deal, and my fiance loves a bargain, she didn't mind at all smile.
