Cheap Xbox 360?
Written by Simon Barker on April 10, 2008 · Filed under Games
What do you think to a cheap Xbox 360 bargain? I say bargain because you can now pick up a cheap Xbox 360 for less than the cost of a Nintendo Wii.
Admittedly this is for the cheapest Xbox 360 Arcade model of the console which doesn’t come with a hard disk drive, but does use the wireless Xbox 360 controllers. So this means that Microsoft have now priced an Xbox 360 model as the cheapest console out there.
This has come about as a result of the recent price cuts as reported by the BBC, the entry-level cheap Xbox 360 bargain retail price is now £129.99! There were also price reductions of the Premium and the Elite, take a look at the cheap Xbox 360 bundles now on offer.
What do you think to this move by Microsoft? Has it done enough to convince you to buy one now if you haven’t already got one? Now that HD-DVD has lost the format war and Sony now have their cheaper Playstation 3 console as a Blu-Ray player, do you think that Microsoft will now push forward at a faster pace with their Xbox 360 IPTV and video downloads moving away from physical-media altogether? Or will they be shipping an external Blu-Ray drive in the future, much like they did with their HD-DVD add-on?
Anyway, if you have been waiting to get the cheapest bargain to get into Xbox 360 gaming then now is definitely the time to do it, take a look at some of the cheap Xbox 360 bargain console bundles that available.
I have always wanted a 360 but am yet to have even played a PS3.
Is it possible to wire in a cheaper hard drive by opening it up or do you have to buy the ridiculously priced Microsoft one?
I’m going to have to wait a little longer, as currently I don’t even own my own TV!
I’ve had a Xbox 360 Premium for over a year now, it’s good, however now that you can get a cheaper Xbox 360 Elite which includes a HDMI connection, quite how much better it might be though, I’m not so sure – but it looks cool in black!
I think you need to use one of Microsoft’s proprietary hard disk adapter for the Xbox 360, however I’ve not read anywhere that you can then slot in a larger hard disk, so I would guess that it is not an option with the Xbox 360.
Also, another difference with the Xbox 360 Elite is that you get a larger hard disk included 120gb instead of 20gb with the Premium.
Zath’s last blog post..Jericho Season 3 Still Possible?
A lot of games are not in full-HD because the 360 is not enough powerful, so the HDMI output is still useless
I feel Xbox 360 is not cheaper compared to Nintendo Wii console as even they are promising a cut in price I am not sure the cut will be large and also whether Nintendo’s price will be matched or not. Though we get a larger hard disk Nintendo Wii certainly is best for me:)

The Xbox 360 is excellent, I have an Elite and a Premium and you can now pick up the Premium with HDMI for around £150 – £170 on Play.com
Notg quite sure why people compare the 360 and PS3 with the WII as the WII is the same as every other Nintendo console (low memory/graphics capabilities etc) but does have the move sensitive controllers which has made it sell.
I love the Xbox and the games on that platform so thats the one for me!
My xbox 360 has literally just died on me so this is quite good news! I have the oldest model of the xbox which is why it is slowly dying. They were so badly made and came out with so many faults.
Now here is my problem, should I buy a new xbox 360 or should I buy a PS3???
What do you guys think?

360′s may be very cheap and ps3′s may be very expensive but just remember one thing, one of em’s made in china and the others made in japan
For the price difference I think it’s worth buying the Xbox 360 instead of the PS3. They’ve just recently update the Xbox Live and it’s great for buying games and playing against others online. Games like Halo 3 rock. I was checking the prices online – £288 for the PS3 and £166 for the Xbox 360. It’s too much of a difference!!
