Its not just the Xbox 360 which will be going cheap, with MCV sources stating the Wii will be available for only œ149.97.

Trying to get rid of stock for the new 60gig version no doubt.
Unless they know something that we dont.

I am prepared to see something out of Resident Evil tomorrow morning as my nearby Sainsburys is about 3 minutes away and huge! :P
There will be carnage and blood will be spilled for sure...
... Q4 offically begins, I think this all has to do with christmas sales and the like if its only Sainburys cutting the prices. I wouldnt be suprised to see other outllets making the same move in the near future.

Could be a prime opportunity for getting a Wii then. Will be off to investigate later.
Im planning to get an Xbox360 next week, I had a console but it died, id lost all proof of purchase and initially felt like id been hit in the chest with a sledgehammer, since I felt somewhat in the dark when I tried to return it, with no real luck, im willing to part with more cash since this is a reasonably low price, im looking forward to my long, long nights gettting all my achievements back. :p

Why dont you just get the Arcade version, and plug in your old Hard Drive??
Well all i can say about that is sainsburys, Tescos and Asda are major competition this year especially for christmas.

Im considering that since I like the cabled pads, not the wireless ones, ill just have to find it somewhere, but ill probably wipe it clean anyway and start again. :)
Hmm, buying the Premium and swapping the 60GB drive for my 20GB drive then returning it ... wonder if theyd notice :P

they dont do wired pads with the the arcade bundle, they did with the old core version.
you will be lucky to find a wired pad new as they dont make them any more.
Damn it, oh well, I know where I can get good Logitec ones...
