360 "bargains"

Personally, I would pay the £40 more, for the PS3, with Blu-ray and it's reliability and quiet operation.

360 really is last years news. Everyone that wanted one has one by now, and PS3 has finally caught up in the quality of the multiplatform titles (it's always been ahead in the platform exclusives).

The 360's relaibility issues have killed the console, it's name is trash in consumers eyes. Most people know plenty of people that have had multiple replacements, and whilst the new ones are more reliable, the root cause is still not fixed, and the failure rate is still WAY too high.

Linky?

I would love to know where on the Zavvi site the £210 Xbox bundle with Halo 3, Assassin's Creed and another game, because I've searched pretty hard and not seen a single glimpse of any such bundle. Anybody got a link or have they withdrawn it already?

It May Be Cheaper But In Theory

I know the 360 Arcade is cheaper pricing at £169 compared to the 40GB PS3 of £300. But sooner or later if your a arcade owner (and some are due to the cheapness and not wanting to go online 1st off). Your gonna need a HDD 20GB would be pointless and there still £45-65 depending on where you shop.

120GB is £110 and probably the best to go for but at that to the £170 = £270 so only £30 less. The Premiums £200 which is £100 less from what I paid 1yr ago. But with the RRoD and the shoddy lock-ups and annoying DRM on content which new owners will experience once there 1st console goes they'll hate it.
