    • too late

      • Well, saved myself $200. As long as I don't get home tonight and my xbox RRODs.

  • Bought 1, good deal

  • +2

    So tempted… but I don't even have time to game these days.. what to do :O

    • +2

      Cut everything out of your life that is taking away from game playing time. It will be worth it!

      • Yeah, why not cut out work, wife, kids and other responsibilities? Stay young and child-like! LOL

  • Have a PS3 (and wii…), not sure I need another. Anyone own PS3 and Xbox360 and can convince me why I need to add this to the mix (I do have a spare HDMI cable coming out of my AVR so it's ready and waiting…

    I had the original xbox - did enjoy a bit of halo and splinter cell I must admit.

    • +5

      I own all three current gen consoles and the 360 and PS3 are pretty similar. I would say that PS3 has a marginally more varied catalogue of exclusive titles. The 360 does have some great exclusives though: Halo, Gears, Dead Rising, Forza, Mass Effect (the first one) etc. An incentive may be Halo 4 is coming in November and looks to be very, very cool. I also personally think the online multiplayer is a whole lot better on Xbox (and worth the cost of subscription). XBL just seems a lot more stable than PSN. It also just seems like more of my friends play XBL and more people in general in the world are on it. I also think the Xbox controller is far superior to the Dualshock 3 for shooters (those Dualshock triggers are horrendous). Overall I prefer my 360 as a gaming machine and my PS3 gets more use as a media centre. However if you are happy with PSN and you don't have a bunch of mates ready to join you on XBL, then I'd say there is no huge rush to buy a 360. Hope that helps!

      • Thanks johnno07 - appreciate your take on it. Think I'll sit tight for now but keep my eye on Halo 4 as it nears release…

  • Where is the deal?

    What can u do with Xbox live gold?

    • Not sure what extra's Gold status will give you but it basically let's you play online.

    • Where is the deal?

    • i already mentioned in my post.

  • Thanks OP, my order has been packed ready to go, email received!!! Yes!

    I predict a flood of 4GB Xboxs, Kinect units and software disks, as well as old discarded whities, appearing on ebay in the near future. Not mine, but I just have a feeling that some of the bargains will be recycled to ebay in the near future.

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Bought one for my 2-year old. I reckon she'll enjoy jumping and dancing around - but if she's still too young will just hang on to it until she's ready for it. Or sell it if the wife negs it. Even if I take a $50 - $100 knock I reckon it's worth it in case we / she like it. I don't really care if new tech is coming out soon - I doubt it will be at this sort of price (for a good few years at least) - plus the games for this machine should get cheaper - esp secondhand. Plus, chances are the new console will use the same kinect anyway (?). I reckon it should be good for us for 3 - 5 years at least.

    • +2

      nothing worse than a negging wife

    • I reckon I'll probably sell this and get a Wii. Based on reviews I've now read it doesn't look suitable for kids until they're 3 or 4. Someone at work may be interested. I'll notify here if they don't buy it. It will be for pick up in Sydney CBD.

  • Bought 1. Anyone know how much a 2008 Xbox 360 is worth on ebay? I have one, want to get rid of it.

    2nd question: anyone know cheap places to buy some kinect games? Looking at Dance Central 2.

    • i recently sold mine with 2 controller + wireless adaptor and a bunch of games for $200 on gumtree

      • I have 2 controllers + wireless + console. However the console is banned from XBL. Am I looking at around $120?

        • +1

          How'd you get it banned?

        • No chance.

  • bought one….thanks OP….wasnt even planning to buy one but couldnt resist such a good deal

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Bought one after hours of deliberation :)

    • similar to me, lucky you did because it's now out of stock!

    • deliberate with your other inner voice?

  • buy! buy! .. but now out of stock.
    oh man….

  • +1

    I still reckon I scored the ultimate XBox bargain, back in Christmas - JB's were advertising 4GB XBox's for $159, they gave me a 250GB by mistake instead (and yes, it was a legit sale, the invoice showed 250GB) :)

    • The ultimate xbox bargain was $100 250GB Xboxs at DSE

    • Harvey Norman had the 4GB console for $148 in Jan. I use my PS3 quite happily without "move". Don't think I'd need Kinect…

      • Yes but did it come with the Kinect and games and the 3 months Live card? If not these add up to a LOT more than $50 extra. If it did come with these then it was an exceptional deal.

        • Most people dont want Kinect and or the games with it unless you have little kiddies or something, sure you can try sell them on eBay but you wont get much due to all this surplus stock. I still rember that $100 xbox deal, probly greatest ever.

  • Had one in my cart, went through to paypal and by the time I pressed pay it had sold out. :(

    • Same as me :(

  • Thanks OP!! bought one before but logged in just to give you a +1 vote :D

    • +3

      How many of your pirated games come with it? /sarcasm

        • +1

          Wait a sec, so you are selling kinect and the games for 150? When you can buy the kinect, games and the actual xbox for 199? Pfft, your post made it sound like you were selling the whole package for 150…if only i had negs left..

        • You don't own the game, therefore it's pirating.

          Which is different to owning the game, and making a backup.

        • +1

          Stop using up all my negs, guy.

        • Don't call me a guy, man.

  • Just missed out :(,
    Time to hold out on a ps3 deal

  • I take it there is nothing locking the Gold membership to the particular box. ie I can flog the gold membership on ebay ?

    • Yep.

  • mc pro and now this my long wait ended in just an hour.
    Edit: Ty Op

  • I bought this

  • Any good kinect games to buy? Very happy I got 1 just in time! OB must have taken at least 1/2 of the 500 available units.

  • BTW. Offer says with Sports but picture shows Sports and Adventure. Presumably the picture is a mistake ?

    • Forget about the question. I guess I should have looked at the bundle specs on the product page. It comes with both.

  • If someone changes their minds, I'm interested in a Xbox to go with my internal HDD.

  • Ordered one at lunch time and very happy. Thanks ~~

  • Got mine this morning. Trinity motherboard. Good buy. Good bye.

  • Mine delivered. Time to start bargain hunting Games now!

  • Mine has also been delivered to Melbourne, dispatched 3pm yesterday arrived this morning, excellent service. Now sadly the whitey will need to move aside.

    Thanks again OP!!

    • +1

      Can confirm also a Trinity. Took me a while to identify as I didn't know what to look for. For other people, look on the back of the console (NOT the power supply) and if it says 10.83A then it is a Trinity, BUT if it says 9.86A then sadly it is a Corona.

  • +1

    you ripper just got mine and a Trinity ,great stuff

  • +1

    Got mine also a trinity!!!. Whoop whoop

  • Wouldn't they all be a trinity? All reports on here seem to suggest so.

    • +2

      Not necessarily, according to my research, models produced from August 2011, and later, are likely to be Corona. Mine is 18/7 and the power pack is a 9.86A but the Console is 10.83A so they were in the changeover mode then. Now, the likelihood that all 500 on offer came from the one batch is low, maybe but unlikely. Remember these are likely to be unsold odds and sods from the stores that have been stockpiled at the warehouse. Check the amps on the console, the manufacture date and the Lot number, 1130x is good.

      It may be a case where they are sending them out in chronological\serial order, therefore some of the units may be from August 2011 or later and hence Coronas. Who knows. If we are all lucky then they will all be Trinity units, fingers crossed. I can only see 5 reported Trinity units above, which is 1% of the 500.

      • +1

        My xbox just arrived and matches everything you said about yours.

        Manufactured on 18/7/2011. Power pack is 9.86A, console is 10.83A and came from lot number 1130x.

  • How many games did everyone get? I could have sworn the description at the DSE site said there were two games, Kinect Adventures and Kinect Sports.

    My pack only had Kinect Adventures. Am I mistaken?

    • Hi Bender, I got two games.
      One was in the box with the console (Kinect Adventures), the other was in a separate envelope from the box (Kinect Sports).

    • Yes 2 games, one in box and the other in a white padded bag, separate to the main box.

      • +1

        Was the white padded bag inside the cardboard box which had the Console box or was the padded bag like a separate package handed to you?

        My console box was inside another plain cardboard box and there wasn't anything else inside with it, nor was I given a separate padded bag or any other package.

        • Separate white package, but delivered at the same time.

        • +1

          Thanks guys, I've sent DSE an email about it and maybe they forgot to make up the separate bag.

  • +2

    What is the advantage of the Trinity over the Corona?

    • +1

      Google it! Trinity can be 'modified' via either an inserted board or changing the firmware on the DVD drive to allow it to play backed up games, run 3rd party software or play games off the HDD without inserting the original disk. Corona has had the Hanna chip removed and these modifications do not work at present due to the 'glitch' exploit not being available.

      Naturally, these things should only be carried out after the warranty expires and also only to play backups of originals you actually own as playing pirated games is illegal. Another word of warning, any modification can get you banned from Live.

  • Just got mine it's batch 1130x manufactured 2011-07-17 and it's a trinity. You little ripper!

    • 2011-07-18 for mine

  • Ended up getting this deal on Friday over the phone; Dick Smith: you guys ROCK!
    Total cost: $199 delivered ;-) Invoice rec'd & expecting it this week too, thanks OP :)

  • Got this one as well. Thought it was a good deal, But with the new Kmart deal for the 4GB + 320 hard drive… oh man!

  • I'm selling mine as mentioned earlier - it will still be a couple of years before it is suitable for the little one so will get a Wii instead. I've put it on Gumtree for $230 negotiable but if any Ozbargainers are interested I'm happy to just get what it cost me ie $210. Pickup in Sydney, around Martin Place during working hours or Bondi Junction Westfield or surrounds at other times. Hopefully offering it for sale on this site isn't against the rules. If so, apologies to the mods and please remove the post.

  • Got the console, kinect etc today in the big box, the game & Xbox live came yesterday in the white padded bag, so I was worried for a day there! All good now & looks like a Trinity too: 2011-07-19 MFR date and 10.83A from Lot 1130X woo hoo!! Very happy :)

  • My delivery all came in a big brown box, which had the xbox kinect package, then next to that an open spacer box with the other game + xbox live card in it.

  • hi, can someone post a receipt for this deal..ill try to get a price match at jb hifi..plzzz, thanks in advance

    • Cannot be price matched as this deal has expired, i.e. all have been sold, see the header at the start of the post 'OUT OF STOCK'. It is a condition of price matching the the item is available for sale at the time of the price match, sorry.
