The Xbox 360 (Pre)orders thread

[Mardigan8]

i asked the derby manager and he said they aren't accepting them

they've got some deal going with the distributor where they basically get condemned for free, thats why the bundles come with it

they say the best they can offer is a trade in

i think you can argue the point but if thats whats happened then even head office may refuse it

You mean a trade in as in swapping for another game of the same price, which is exactly what I want to do?

So, the manager told you they weren't accepting 10 day returns on condemned?? What if someone genuinelly thought it was crap or it just didnt work?

I doubt they would change the policy on a single game, but I will confirming thsi before I go through with my purchase!!

no, trade in as in part exchange rather than a 10 day exchange

when i worked there this is how it worked, if you bought a game in a console bundle and wanted to return it you had to swap it for another game from the list of games in the bundle. now in this case the bundle says you must have condemned rather than condemned or something else

anyway, i don't see why people are getting their knickers in a bunch. condemneds supposed to be quite good. i have my copy on my desk waiting for the machine. its literally 6 inches away from me with no machine to play with

Cheers mate, wasn't sure. Suppose it makes sense since if they did accept it it it would mean you could have a bundle with any games you want.

Condemned does look great but it aint in my top 3 and the 5 game bundle is too much, I want to be able to concentrate on the games I get. So, 3 is the most I will be getting and it looks like they will be PDZero, PGR3 and CoD2. Shame they have got Condemned set-up in the bundles like this as it will put a lot of people off who would prefer other titles.

i know

i already have a copy of it so i'm gonna have to trade in my bundle copy against something else

[chopemon]

how best buy handled bundles

[Weavus]

I'm pretty glad Game are forcing Condemned on people. Means I'll be able to pick it up cheap as there will be loads of unwanted copies and I didn't fancy paying full wack for the game

You going for the 5 game pack?? 3 is the most I am going... want to give each of them a good bit of time.

They both good offers, the 5 game mistake especially

Hopefully my trade in stuff will get me some savings. You know if they will accpet an unboxed Xbox? Or am I gonna need to be hunting down a box for trade in?

[ascender]

Ah, so Condemned is actually alright then? I just pre-ordered PGR3 because I can see me dovoting a lot of time to it. But the Condemned + 4 Games bundle seemed like a good price and a chance to get:

Tiger Woods - I like a good golf game for relaxing with
PD0 - no brainer
Kong - idea really appeals
a.n.other - open to suggestions

you can trade in unboxed stuff for the same amount as boxed i believe

you might as well trade in your xbox games collection while you're at it since you can play barbie horse adventure and pretty much nothing else using the 360's backwards compatibility

i'm going for the 5 game pack, theres three games i really want (PD0, kameo and COD2) and i fancy tony hawk as well as its been years since i played one of those

[Mardigan8]

For another ascender I would go for Call of Duty 2. I played a level demo yesterday while in the city centre and it had my jaw on the floor. Was running on a wee 28" Samsung flat screen and was sharp as ****!! Think it will be well worth a look.

Thats good about the unboxed trade in chopemon and I fully intend on trading most of my current collection for it. Also gonna throw in some PS2 games that are gathering dust so should do alright from it!!

[Synthesthesia]

I thought more people on here would've been looking forward to condemned. It's the 360 game i want to play most! Oh..and the game i've preordered mine at said they'll do the ?450 5 game offer if i take the booklet down on friday. Just setup my live account today...took me ages to get the xbox to connect through my PC's connection

they may have some kind of deal going on where you trade in an xbox 180 and get a better deal on the 360

best of luck, hope you get a good price

take the 5 game pack and flog the extra game Mardigan. Should easy get ?35 quid for a game which means you'd get a 4 game pack for ?415. I preordered my bundle with two copies of PGR3 and two PDZs. Already got a buyer for ?35 each which means I get the 3 game bundle for ?380

Nicely done.

[nonny]

Just quickly... where would be the best place to try and get one this late in the day if you havent preordered?

I have one on order but might try and source another for a friend... would Tesco's be a good call?
