You sure it isn't ?199.99?

He's right - it's ?99.00. I walked past Virgin in Nottingham today and they had a few boxes in the window.

You'll be lucky - each store is only getting about 5 or 6 Xboxes!

Says who...?

And seeing as I might give this a whirl, do you have to actually pick up a physical box and take it to the till or can you just leg it in and demand one at the till...?

Someone popped in to the Leeds store and asked for more details about the offer and was told there were only 6 Xboxes in that particular shop.

Other people have asked in these branches:

Nottingham = 6
Bristol = 4

(I posted the full list of stores on the previous page.)

I think you have to actually pick up the box to buy one.

[Len]

Aah ok, ta. Was thinking of giving 'em a bell later on anyway. Will see how many or little they plan to sell...

[Backdrifter]

I *think* at the Virgin on Princes Street, we just have 5 of these Xbox's to sell on.

You'd think being the 'games specialist' I'd get to save one for myself, but nope!

You have at least 3 people turning up at 6am tomorrow to queue for them! And yes, there are 5, we've confirmed stock!

[Vince]

Thats an amazing offer, i'm thinking of excuses for being late for work right at this moment!

[Lurch]

Who's my competition in Nottingham then? I still can't afford this, but I'm gonna get one at some point anyway. If I didn't get one, I'd be losing money. Surely...

What are the store opening times for Virgin Megastores?

I might go to the Cardiff branch.....but i'm supposed to enrol for uni at 8:45 :P

Edit-Oh wait....ignore that....'from 8'

I'm totally there!

Edit-Just letting you know I got the 5th of 5 360's from the Cardiff branch 8)

I just phoned the Buchanan St store in Glasgow and the guy said they were getting 5 units. He also said there was lots of phone calls today regarding the units and that you'd better get your arse in the queue later tonight.

I replied to another thread earlier with this information, but I think it deserves a mention in this one:

Toys R Us have an offer on until tomorrow (28 September 2006): Nintendo DS Lite New Super Mario Pack plus a free ?29.99 game. You get a DS Lite, New Super Mario Bros. plus another game, and a Competition Pro Starter Pack, which includes: three stylus pens, a slip case, screen protectors, and a cleaning cloth, for ?129.89.

And I know of two others who'll be there about the same time! Getting orange juice and croissants too you lucky buggers.

If only I wasnt working at 12 tomorrow - I'd turn up myself!

Of no use to many here but there's some mad cheap Gamecaube games over at Circuit City

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/GameCube-Games/sem/rpsm/catOid/-16496/N/20012841+20016484+20016496/link/ref/rpem/ccd/categorylist.do

F-Zero for $2.95?
Wario World $5.95?
Chibi Robo $14.99?
Battalion Wars $14.99?

Never did pick up Wario World, shame it's out of stock

Oh, CC also had Advance Wars DS & Meteos for $8.96 about... 8 weeks ago? You could pick up Half Life 2 for that price too. They were cleaning house.

Maybe it's of some use to people going over to the US?
