XBox 360 Game trade in deal; on Dashboard

[LukeBird]

Anyone seen this on the 360 Dashboard (it may have been up ages, I saw it yesterday, but the 360 hasn't been on for months!).
Seems like a good deal, anyone done it?
Deal is to trade in an Elite and chuck in £99 for a new shape 360.

Sounds interesting, is it with Microsoft themselves?

Just checked and it is with Game.

Yup, off to Game either tomorrow or Friday then!

Too good a deal to miss out on..!

[LawrenceOfArabia]

It's worth mentioning it's the 250 GB one as well.

[LukeBird]

Just wondering if it's worth trading in my first-gen Elite...

I see on Game's website, it's £180 for the 250Gb Slim.

Do they transfer all your data over there & then, or do you have to do some sort of backup beforehand?

Also noticed that the console alone is £179.99, but the console bundled with a charging kit and FIFA 11 is only £169.99.

I did this today, traded in my 120GB elite and wireless Internet adaptor and paid £105 for a 250GB slim AND kinect!

Basically paid £5 for the Kinect! Deal of the year!

awesome stuff!!

Damnit wish I had one, but still got the 40gb version.

You need to buy one of those transfer cables in order to keep your save files etc...

Game did it for me there and then without having to buy one...

[LawrenceOfArabia]

Plus what use would the transfer cable be - at no point do you have both xboxs at home.

Was that related to the deal from Dashboard?
If I could get that, I'll be down there tomorrow! I could just flog the Kinect as I don't want it!
What do they want with the console? Controller, power block etc.?

I've got a transfer cable if anyone wants to buy. Used once, obviously, then sat on shelf. MS one.

Yeah it's the same deal as on the dashboard, I just too everything I had inusibg the book, didn't take the headset though however they didn't say anything.

[LukeBird]

Hmmm may have to look into that then!

What's the benefit of changing? I've still got a Xbox 360 Premium 20gb

Any ideas how long this deal is supposed to last? I've got an elite and would be very interested in changing to a new console, especially if they will transfer all data to the new disk.
