Yep. But you don't even need a chip these days, you can 'soft-mod' them.

Halo takes a while to get used to, but when you do no one will see you for a few nights.

Forza motorsport is brill! Much better than GT4- I have Ps2 and Gt4 by the way.

Perhaps even more if you consider the 4 free games

Hello

I think this is a great deal, and I just reserved to pick one up on Monday.

The one I actually wanted though is out of stock (2 Screen in-car DVD Player: Shop for Venturer 7in Twin Screen DVD Player. at Argos.co.uk)

Bear in mind the Computer Exchange will sell you a boxed second hand one for £55 or £50 unboxed.

I've got mine reserved at Argos for a collection tomorrow!

In your dreams maybe - cheapest core 360 is £180 from a couple of places using a 10% discount code and Tesco ain't one of them.

p.s. bought the £50 deal from Argos yesterday

Look like people are trying to sell this on Ebay at the moment.

I might have to get it just for a blast on Forza Motorsport with a bit of home cinema.
