    There were rumours of a price drop to £99 due in October but there has been no official word yet.

    Even at £120 the XBox is excellent value for money, just look at the features, functions and benefits it offers over the competition.

    Don't wait,dive in now and start enjoying the modded XBox lifeto the full

    £150 Xmas Xbox bundle confirmed
    >> Recent weeks have seen both Sony and Nintendo cut the price of their consoles, but Microsoft has kept to their price point, saying Xbox already offers good value for money.

    However as we reported several weeks ago, a £150 Christmas bundle was said to have been announced to a small number of retailers at the X03 event in the South of France, and it's finally appeared on Amazon.co.uk, who are selling it for £139.99 - £10 less than the RRP.

    The bundle is due to go on sale on October 31st, the same day that a new Xbox Live starter kit is believed to be launching in the UK, and would likely signal the start of an unofficial price cut on the console itself as retailers aim to remain competitive by either reducing the console price or creating their own bundles





    looks like were gettin bundles rather than cheap consoles

    Cost of the part and then £30 to fit if it needs soldered. got an executer lite 2.1. Not been on live yet as I am not sure on jumper settings on that chip and cant be bothered opening up box or leaving box lid off all the time.

    whoever is chargin you 30 quid to fit a switch is rippin you off, all you need do is put a break (via a simple switch) in the ground / D0 connection and with the switch open the machine will boot as if its unmodded for live play

    theres no need to cough cough either, mod talk is allowed
