I've waited so long, in fact since launch, but I get paid on the 28th. Then once money is transferd into my savings (got like £130 saved for 360 elite) I can go buy one.

I'm glad I got the other things like my new PC and HDTV before with my part time job. Now it's going to be exciting, when I get a 360 Elite, I just hope 2nd year University coursework don't take all my free time and work.

Sorry I'm excited counting the days lol!

And Halo 3 soon!!

i'll be getting one then too! just working up the courage to blow that much money and hinder my grades in my sophomore year at college. what made you decide to get an elite over a premium. it just has 100gb larger hdd and that's it.

Well first my HDTV has 2 HDMI ports (getting a PS3 at Xmas as well), and second the 120GB drive is £130 separate here (the Elite is £299) so I don't get why it's £130 I'm sure the drive is cheaper in USA. And most of my stuff near my TV is black as well and I can afford £299 quite easy, there was a deal at Virgin Megastores I think a £299 Elite with 2 games so I think I'm going to get that I think.

I been wanting a 360 since launch but have always been unable to obtain one until yesterday. I told myself since halo3 was around the corner I need to get one. I was able to purchase an Elite for $300. I went to my local gamestop and was prepared to buy a new 360 ($350) and went to ask them if they had a used one. There was a guy in line that was trading in his Elite for a Ps3. He told me he would sell it to me for $300. It had all the original parts and the gamestop guy tested it made sure it was working. He had bought the elite from that gamestop a month ago and still had the receipt. I also bought Gears of War (very fun).

I would love an Elite...BUT

I would love a system that actually works. I will stick to the 360 I currently have then next year sometime when MS decides to give us quality I will trade it in.

Ah not long now

I'm tempted to order Forza 2 on play.com but I don't wanna buy a 360 elite then end up with 2 copies..lol

edit, I've decided I'm gonna buy it on Saturday since I've just done a bank transfer of my savings into my spending account so when I get paid on Friday ill have enough for sure and maybe Halo 3 as well so hopefully ill end up with a 360 elite and 3 games (2 bundled) if there in stock in town...

Your order for Halo 3 has been received.

Got an email earlier,

£37.80 on play.com

.

So when I get my 360 Elite on Saturday, I should at least get Halo 3 on Monday, maybe earlier (it's going Dad's work unit) hopefully ill end up with 3 games

.

Getting very excited now, payday is Friday

there will be loads.

watch out if you go to gamestation, they are charging £399 in some stores for elites. Not that i would EVER reccomend going to gamestation anyway

in fact avoid it at all costs, pretend you would explode if you entered one.
