Hi Chaps,

I am on the lookout to buy an XBOX 360 Elite with Forza 3 and 12 Months Gold Membership.

Where is the definitive best place to get it?

I have had a look around and cant seem to find any really good deals, ideally I would like to spend £200 + the membership.

I had a look at the Super Elite and not really interested tbh...

Any help greatly appreciated!

We have just (Monday evening) got an Elite with FM3 for £212.76 at Asda. They are doing a buy a chart game and get xbox for £175. PLus they are having a price war on the price of their games (£37.97). Only thing is the new ones don't come with a HDMI lead but they can be picked up for £4.

That seems like a good deal!

I seem to remember reading somewhere Asda are doing a deal for £200 which comes with 4 games? One of which is Forza 3??

Not sure but I think it was only an arcade version. Its worth going in store for better offers than what's online. Our local Tescos is doing apretty good offer, can't remember exact details but were out of stock for up to three weeks!

Is that from the website (it doesn't appear on this link) or in store? It does seem a decent deal.

I've also decided to take the plunge too and buy one to play alongside my fantastic PS3.

If I'm honest I only really want it for Forza and MW2 (I'm still getting on the PS3 but I want the option to waste a few X-boxers online too)

Have you got a website link for it, I don't know if it's just me being a spoon for I can't seem to find that deal.

One more thing, is the wireless adaptor included in the box therefore allowing plug & play network play straight out of the box?

Sorry, can't find it now, i think it was a 'deal of the week' kind of thing. Oh and for the wireless adaptor i'm not sure, i'll have to look into that aswell.

Bugger, I'll have to keep an eye our for a similar offer. frown

I'm not in a massive rush though because I've got MW2 coming next week on the PS3 so I'll use that to get used to the new maps/weapons therefore I should be able to waste everyone on Xbox live straight away without the need for practise! shoot

Yeah mine will also be used alongside a PS3

Elite = Forza
PS3 = MW2

See you all in a couple of months!

Does anyone know how long the Asda deal will run for?

Someone on another forum said the Asda deal finished a couple of days ago on the 3rd November. frown

I've been searching though and Amazon are doing a very similar deal, basically you can get the Xbox Elite and 2 games (eg: Forza, Fifa 10, NFS Shift, Borderlands etc.) for £199 delivered.

I think I'll go for the Elite Bundle + Forza + Wireless Entertainment pack (Extra wireless controller + Pure & Lego Batman games)

Crackin'! biggrin

I'll see your deal and raise it.... Elite wireless controller etc etc with FM3, Fifa 10 (same so far) plum behind counter didnt know the difference between Lego Batman and Arkham asylum so got that instead. Also Pure had sold out so gave me Operation Flashpoint all for £199 smile So then sold all games and my old Xbox and got the Elite for free!! Oh yes

Does anyone know if the elite comes with a wireless adapter?, it's £50 on GAME! which is a rip off.
