Sell me an XBOX

Dion Wired have an amazing XBox bundle at the moment, for R4k, the 250gb console, 2 games (Fable III & something else) and the Guitar Hero / Rock band with guitar & drum set. Given the 2 bundled games are worth ~R1.4k, you're getting the console at below retail at that price, and they're essentially giving you the guitar hero / rock band set for free.....

EDIT

Here's a link....

I don't know if IC are running anything similar, but if they're not you may want to look into what DW have to offer with this, it may work out good value for you.

Nearly shat bricks when I saw this! Dead keen to get it now! Little out of my budget though. Doesnt seem to be under the Promotion section, so if I wait a bit and its still running, I'll get that. In the meantime, I'm keeping the money, looking out for good deals. Seems I've made up my mind, especially with a new SSX game coming soon. Well sort of soon...
 

yeh, the dude pulled out the hd, but only wants R1350 with 2 games

BTW unrelated but with regards to killzone (1,2 didn't bother with 3) on the PS3, sorry but it was rubbish, the sony controllers are just crap. plz dont come with fanboi nonsense as I have all consoles.

Whether you have all the consoles or not is irrelevant, many will disagree with you, some even modded their Xbox controllers for the better. There are nothing wrong with the DS3, its a matter of opinion and what you are used to. If you suck with FPS on PS3 do not blame the tools blame the ... :)

I play KZ3 a lot and with a XP of 2.6million that is proof enough, you can tell me nothing there, and that was without the move.

BTW what is your iD and XP on KZ2? I still play some.

Hmm everyone seems the Kinect Bundle is the way to go, I'm not convinced. As amazing as it is, its not something I really want now. Maybe in 4 months or so.

I actually didnt know you had to pay... What does it cost? Monthly subscription or not? Wont be playing that often online, so dont want to pay for a month and only play like once...

Yeah, I get discount, but not a lot on this one haha. But its discount nevertheless.

Or go for the 4gb bundle, if you not too worried about space, i still using my old xbox arcade with usb stick so HDD space for me at least is not a big thing, the kinect is a lot of fun, but the thing is you need a lot of space to use it correctly so if space in the tv room is a problem don't get it, I have to move alot of furniture around to use mine so i dont use it as much as i would like for this reason
live costs about R50 a month or cheaper if you buy a 3 or 6 months subscription (they do sell that at IC ) :)
I have to commend you dude, for a guy who works at IC you don't pretend to be a know it all, like the guys i have met at some of the stores I like the honesty

Yeah, maybe the 4gb is an option. Yeah, space is an issue, seeing as most of the time it will be in my room connected to a monitor. Ah, so its not too bad for a month.

Haha thanks, I'm not your ordinary IC salesman. Stick to what I know, and try to learn what I don't. Thanks for the help, really appreciated. Now just to get the money together :)
 
Just a follow up about that R4k Xbox 360 S + 2 games + 2nd controller + Guitar Hero bundle from Dion Wired I mentioned earlier, I bought one today. Problem is when I got to the store they had an in-store price of R6999, despite the website still having the bundle for R3999. They took the R7k price down very quickly when I showed them the website on my phone and used phrases like "CPA", "looking for ****", and "lawsuit waiting to happen", and were also very quick to give me a R3k discount voucher when I got to the checkout and it rang up as R7k. Also when I walked past the store again a little later they had the original R3999 price up in store, so hopefully nobody ended up paying R3k more than they should have for the bundle.

But a word of caution, make sure you check the price online if you're keen for this bundle, and make sure you can show them the webpage on your phone or something in case you walk into the store & they try to sell it to you for R7k. It's an absolute steal at R4k, as you're getting about R6.2k worth of stuff, but at R7k? Not so much at all......

Thanks for the warning. As good as that option is, little out my budget. Ive settled on the 250GB option, just gathering all the money together and should have it sometime next week!

You only pay monthly to play multiplayer online. You can still pretty much do everything for free, just the online multiplayer part. So for example Call of Duty, you can play the single player stuff for free, but if you want to go online and play against others, you need that Xbox subscription.

Anyway, i got the kinect bundle, and it's already gathering dust. The tech looks great but there are no games for it! The games that ARE there are restricted to party games,dance games and fitness games (go check any xbox store for kinect games, all gimmicky kiddie games) . So it is initially cool playing those, but you'll soon be back on the couch holding your controller and turning off the kinect sensor.....trust me (unless you have kids or something that uses the kiddie party game stuff).

Unless you get a deal that is seriously good , considering Kinect Stand-alone costs R2000 , i would wait until there is actually some serious Kinect games out (and ones that get good ratings). In my case it was a case of paying R3600 for a dual controller+ 3 games package or R4000 for a kinect bundle...i went with the kinect bundle.

Someone will soon figure out how to make a good kinect game and then i'll be glad i got it. Right now? Not worth it yet. You are better off buying a Wii, which costs the same as the Kinect Sensor!

I know that for R4000.00 that is a good buy. I just do not know if I want to lay out that cash now. I should maybe consider but I rather wont. Dammit, sometimes I hate myself. :)

Yeah exactly my thinking. The Kinect will be awesome, but its just a toy at the moment (then again, so is the Xbox :p )
