Title: Xbox + Kinect deals
Post by: Jay on 20 January 2011, 19:42

Reet, after being f**ked about I've cancelled my order and got a refund.

I'm looking for an Xbox & Kinect bundle, I'd prefer to have a larger hard drive than the 4Gb arcade version for ~£229 at the likes of Argos etc. as I'd want to download shizzle on to it.

What are the cheapest bundles you've seen, and can you get them cheaper as separate units else where?

Is it worth getting a pre-owned 60Gb console from Play.com for £115 and then get the Kinect unit ?

Ah f**k it, just ordered this can't find them any cheaper.

and I'll upgrade the hard drive when I need too, can get them cheap enough from work (presuming they're all just 2.5" laptop size drives), oh and Forza 3 Utlimate edition  :evil:

mine came from game and is also the 4gb version but it will be getting some memory (although I have being told that unless you use the official xbox memory all you can get is 16gb!)
b.t.w mine was £250 with kinect sports, forza and 4 months live

It's not a when if you buy forza! the game + add on's need about 6g's (I can't add all the stuff from the second disc or add any more download stuff!)

I'm going to move my saves to a 16gb flash drive I have spare (and load the bits of game I haven't yet!)

Going to hack my 120Gb drive later :evil: can't be bothered to get a HD caddy and put up with USB speeds and having the hard drive where the kids can see it.
