Dont know if any body already posted this BUTTTTT Incredible Corruption has got a bundle package including the 360s 250Gb, a 32" FHD Samsung telly, Kinect, 3 or 4 games, 1 year Live Gold, and 800 MS Points for, wait for it R8000... AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHH

I pretty much bought everything stated above about a month ago, must have easily cost around R15000. I hate hindsight.

I hope this at least scores some bargain deals for julle.

Hate to be the bearer of even more hindsight, but they have had that bundle for a good 3 or 4 months now...

Just fix it, its almost always a heating problem. I have modded my old 360 so that the heatsink is bolted down, not clipped with the useless clips it comes with, fixed the RROD and never had a problem again. And while you have it in pieces you might as well flash the latest iXtreme firmware so you can play your backups and not wreck your precious gaming disks...

Check out http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox360-tutorials.php?p=23|24|#24 there is tons of info there.

Anyone know of any specials for the PSP 3000? I'm tempted to get the Nintendo 3DS because of the price drop. Not sure which is better though???

At least you can play PS2 games. R5000 for my 80Gb PS3 :-/.

HAHA. Try having paid R6000 for a 60gig PS3 - No games / 1 control....terrible.

Wow I forgot how expensive the consoles were when they first came out. Must be even worse with that IC screw up a few months ago when I managed to buy 3 PS3 for R2000 each and a 360 for R130.

I also thought that was a great added bonus, but then i thought...why would i play PS2 games on a PS3? it was a sort of win:fail situation. Eventually sold my PS2 with all the games in any case. Now i need to upgrade my hard drive, but too scared that if i touch my PS3 it'll YLOD. I mean it's plus/minus 6 years old now.
