RedM Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I'm crap at finding bargains. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 Are they region locked? If not is there any problem (PSU etc) in buying one from the US seeing as how the Dollar is worth FA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I think Gamestation do refurbished versions with a warrantly quite cheaply. They often require sending back to the manufacturers for repair, so a refurbished one isnt such a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 http://www.find-games.co.uk/consoles/xbox360.htm Cheers, but they don't seem to have results for the black Elite 360! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Martin get it from http://www.shopto.net Ive bought 2 from there. The only difference between the pro and elite is 100Gb in hard drive space. to be honest I dont think you need it. I got a Pro and the Pro's now come with the HDMI connection. Also from shopto they are £199 with next day delivery. Some games are released region locked others arent its up to the developer. EA games are always region locked for instance. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 You didn't ask us to look for a black Elite 360. I didn't ask anyone to look for anything. I asked where the best deals could be found. Wiseass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cable isn't available from the UK and by the time you do buy it, for around £30, you may as well have bought an Elite which not only comes with the cable but also an HDMI lead. If you don't have home cinema then it's not a big deal I suppose, or you can just 'modify' the cable the machine comes with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 5.1 surround sound from home cinema seems to work correctly. However you can Also thinking about doesnt the elite comes with 12 months live subscription too? If so I think they are £250 on that site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Unfortunately, despite my TV having an optical out running an HDMI cable from the 360 to the telly and an optical lead from the TV into my amp did not give me 5.1 and my amp doesn't have an HDMI in to retreive the digital audio signal so it was a case of spend £30 or butcher the cable with the 360 optical out.
