Well, looks like Newegg.com has the FF 13 360 bundle for only 250 bucks. Thats right, you get a jasper elite in white, 2 controllers, a headset, a 250gb HDD and a copy of FF 13 for only 250 bucks. Honestly, if you dont care about Wifi, this is a hell of a deal and maybe even a better one then the new 300 dollar 360S. However, the new redesign 360 still might be a bit more failure proof then the jaspers, however I think the jasper would be quite fine. plus I believe these still have thrfull 3 year warranty.Plus, if you want your console in white with a 250 gb HDD, this is like your only choice short of buying a Arcade unit and buyinga seperate 250gb HDD. What do you think? Is this a better deal then the new redesign 360? Is it a better deal then a PS3?

Great Deal for those who need another Xbox. Though I wouldn't want to have FF13 on the Xbox if you could play it on the PS3.

Even if you throw FF 13 away when you open the box, this is still a hell of a deal.

It's a good deal. It was also on sale near the end of last month up to the beginning of this month.

I believe it comes with a FF13 faceplate that's sold for way too much separately :p

I chose it on the 360 over the PS3... Looks great.

There are definately differences though, biggest being in the quality of CG.

I'd prefer a new model with Wi-Fi and a quieter fan. It also has a good shot at being more reliable, the bar is set pretty low.

Not interested in the game, so it may as well not even exist. 250 is a little much for that.

The 3-year warranties are only for RROD and E74 errors. Otherwise, the warranties are just one year, same as always.

Although it should be noted the 3 year warranty that only covers RROD/E74 is for the old 360's, not the 360 slim.

Why did you choose 360 over PS3? It was designed from the ground up for the PS3, then ported.

Exactly. That is all that is really needed. The rest of the EU will order from that website as well since pretty much everything regarding videogames is cheaper in the UK as opposed to the rest of the EU.

I'm not sure what you've heard, but I've never heard anyone say anything bad against New Egg. I've bought a bunch of stuff from them and have never had any problems. They also have some of the best prices on the net, with really fast shipping.

Oh I'm sure some people complain, but those people are usually the kind that complain because they bought something 6 months ago, and just got around to opening it and finding out it doesn't work. Then they fault the company for not honoring a 90 day warranty.

I've placed a lot of orders for computer parts and a few for games and all of them have been ridiculously fast and perfect. I've heard of some people getting resealed games, but I can't speak to the veracity of those claims. But all of the PC parts have been and pristine, as well as the games. Heck, I even bought my tv off of Newegg.com.

Not at all. Fantastic company. I have never had to deal with their customer service, however in their comments section you have numerous compnent companies scouring for any problems. Oft times they have a post offering advice or stating what is needed in order to get it RMA's. Crazy good.
