    Can anyone advise on how the cheapest way to get a Kinect with it? Are any Kinect bundles on special anywhere?

        Make that $228, Microsoft are currently having a $50 cashback offer for kinect bundles.

          A better deal for those that just want the 360 only and not the kinect is to buy the Kinect package for $278, get the $50 back from MS, then sell it on eBay, one about to end in 52mins and its already at $147…average seems to be $150ish mark, minus fleabay fees say down to $130ish I guess in the hand. Basically you get a 4 GIG console for $98

        General question now about the Kinect bundle though … the deal you linked above (and the posters above are referring to) has expired… is there anything close to this deal now?
        There's no really cheap bundle that I can find with a Kinect included. You could buy two $158 consoles for less than most of the bundles!!

          You'll need to buy it on or after the 8th though to be eligible for the $50 cash back offer.

          I browsed JB's bundle deals but missed the "plain" 4GB Kinect pack.

          I'm still stuck deciding between the standalone 4GB console and the bundles. Trying to work out what my brother would actually use versus getting the best deal but wasting money on unused extras. I'm all about the bargain, it's hard being practical!

          $158 4GB console (HN)
          $228 4GB console with Kinect (JB, after $50 cash back)
          $228 250GB console (4GB HN + ebay 250GB HDD)
          $298 250GB console with kinect (JB + ebay HDD)

          • and none of these include real games, so there's a few more $$

          $228 4GB console with Kinect (JB, after $50 cash back)???

          But the price now on jb site is $338,
          http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/game/consoles/xbox-360-4gb-ki...

          So they've increased the retail price by $60 after they know there will be $50 cashback?

    Actually this could make things interesting too, in particular with that JB deal for $278 if it is still available on Thursday…would make it $228 including the Kinect:

    "Buy an Xbox 360 4GB Console with Kinect or Xbox 360 250GB Console with Kinect from any Australian retailer between 08.12.2011 and 24.12.2011 and receive $50 cash-back"

    @GerrardLFC - you can install the 'fat' Xbox 360 HDD to the slim console, but it does take a little tampering to get it right.

    Not sure what OzBargain's thing is about such things, but if you were to YouTube 'xbox 360 fat hdd slim', you will find tutorials on how to get it done.

    @kirt - TVersity + a codec pack will allow you to stream .mkv files to your Xbox 360, from your PC. I prefer this only because WMC was a bit of a pain to get working.

      I don't wish to take anything away from OzBargain, but keep a bookmark on EcoGamer. You can find some games at some amazing prices posted there.

      Play-Asia is a great site for games. Just keep a close eye on the region compatibility guide, as you may know, only PAL games will work in Australia. There are those which are region free, which is what the compatibility guide will assist you with.

    • +2 votes
      iBuzz7S on 06/12/2011 - 19:18

      Yes. MW3 will work fine with the 4GB internal storage. Worst case scenario, you could configure a 4/8/16GB USB device and use that to store content, perhaps as a temporary thing.

      As for Foxtel, it should be fine. You're only downloading the app. Everything else is done online.

    gagans on 06/12/2011 - 18:36

    Great Deal for xBox. I think Microsoft is quite serious about xBox live now. Not only they started Foxtel on it last year, but are also planning to go deep in it with more apps. So it will not be a gaming thing anymore. May be sell the console cheap for getting more margins in xbox live accounts or games.

        Upgrade your graphics card in your pc - games look better on pc. 360/ps3 is so old now…. the hardware that is. Heaps of restrictions on what can put into a game as every game that comes out has to work on such old hardware.
