Erm, which store? :)

I'll be in Milton Keynes on Thursday so I'll see if I can get myself one.

No idea which exact one but it seems only stores in those towns are doing it, and if a store in a smaller town has one it's being shipped to a bigger store for this offer.

So i am better the bigger GAME branch if there's more than one.

Lol he meant you didn't say what shop it was not which branch :p
I won't be anywhere near any of those Thursday but I'm guessing the odds are slim anyhow :/

Edit - Haly said it better than me.

Just notice my last sentence didn't make sense, I meant the bigger store should be the participating store if there's more than 1 GAME in the same town.

I understood that, but like Haly said, that wasn't what I was asking :)

They'll all be bought by staff and end up on eBay by the end of the day ;)

Would love one at that price, but I'm nowhere near any of those stores, and even if I was the odds are so stacked against actually managing to get one.

Burble

I'm going to take a detour on the way to the office tomorrow and try to get bigger of the Milton Keynes branches for opening time.

I'd also consider one at that price, but I'm nowhere near any of the stores listed. Oh well, keeping the money is for the best, I guess.

I went into both of the Game's in Milton Keynes this morning and the staff in both of them looked at me like I was talking crap when I asked if I could buy a 360 Core for £99 :(

SO in the end I walked out of the second one with a 360 Premium, Dead Rising, PGR3, extra wireless controller and VGA cable :D

I went into Virgin too, no sign of cheap 360's in there either.

I eventually escaped the office and setup the 360 whilst dinner was cooking. I'm mighty impressed with the picture quality (I'm running 1080i over VGA) but I have to crank up the volume on my amp a fair way to get it to sound nice.

This is pretty much the last chance I'll get to play with it until Sunday as I'm leaving shortly for a couple of days of booze and norks. Wayhay!

Haly

You're wasting a good 360 if you're leaving it alone till Sunday. Bring it round here, I'll treat it well :D

Sorry Jen, you're in the wrong direction from where I'm going. Otherwise I'd gladly leave it with you!
