UK: 360 Core cut to £150

Yesterday, we pointed out that Xbox 360 Premiums were being sold for £45 less than the standard list price in the UK. Today, we bring you a deal for the Xbox 360 Core system. Usually priced at £199.99, Play.com is slashing the Core's price by 50 quid. This brings it down by a quarter of the cost to £149.99. So, if you don't want to grab a premium for £235, you can get a Core system for £85 less than that. We'll keep you posted if any other retailers decide follow suit after Ballmer's observation. That all being said, which deal would you go for, the Premium at £235 or the Core at £150? Amazon.co.uk has the 20 GB HDD going for £65 making it cheaper than the premium by about £20. From what we can tell, Play.com and Amazon includes VAT in their pricing, so the savings are legitimate.

512 MB MU falls off face of the Earth

As soon as it went up, it has gone down. The 512 MB Memory Unit listed on Gamestop for $49.99 with a March 1st ship date has since been removed. Microsoft has stated that there hasn't been any announcements of releasing a larger Memory Unit. Also worth noting is that retailers occasionally jump the gun based on information currently available, take some of their listed release dates for example. Until confirmed, those are just speculation and placeholder dates so pre-orders can be made. In any case, time will only tell whether or not we'll hear anything more about increasing the memory card's capacity. So what do you think will be officially announced first, a larger Memory Unit or Hard Drive? Place your bets.

If you're a big Kmart.com fan and are in the market for a new Xbox 360, then we've got something special for you.

Yes, it's true that this discount will get you 10% off pretty much anything, but you really see the savings when buying a $400 Xbox. You will have to pay shipping, but it looks to be under $10. Just another deal brought to you by Xbox 360 Fanboy, where being thrifty is commonplace.

Buy a cell, get a free 360 core, be happy

Over at buymobilephones.net they have an interesting holiday deal going on. New cell phone buyers can get a FREE Xbox 360 core system with any cell phone purchase from their site this Christmas season. It looks as if the site is based out of the United Kingdom and we're not sure how legit this company is, but maybe our fellow fanboys can enlighten us. Also, make note that you'll have to charge £199.99 to your credit card to get the 360 lickity split, but they promise to refund you soon after. We just thought we'd let you know as this is another holiday deal if you're looking to get a 360 this year.

[Thanks, Liam B.]

$100 Xbox 360 sold out in seconds

As part of Amazon's Customers Vote internet deals, the Xbox 360 Core package won the people's vote and the right to go on sale. So, this morning you could buy a core system for only $100! The big news is that once the time came to purchase a 360 for such a low, low price at Amazon.com, customers came away empty handed as this deal ended within' seconds! Only 1,000 Xbox 360 Core systems were available for this offer, so it's not all that surprising that a sellout occured, but fanboys have been reporting that 2-3 seconds after the offer became available they couldn't complete an order because the deal was already sold out. If you were lucky enough to get a Xbox 360 Core system for $100 then you get a gold star for today buddy ... if not, at least you tried and didn't have to stand outside for 6+ hours in the cold only to be disappointed.

[Thanks, to everyone who sent this in]
