    Heard an ad, on 2fm, for a new Xtravision Xbox 360 bundle offer. I can't remember all the details - just that it is the Premium Pack and includes:

    - Project Gotham Racing 3
    - Crackdown
    - Gears Of War

    ... and the price is €400.

    Can anyone else fill in the blanks? I'm certain there is more included in the deal.

    all you said and a play and charge kit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,503 ✭✭✭thefinalstage


    You get a play and charge kit as well. I think its a premium bundle.

    Thats why I stopped buying from GAME s few years ago, they always charge more than anywhere else.

    The XtraVision deal is the best going right now. Your getting €100 worth of games for free plus the PandC kit which is a must.

    I wouldnt be rushing to buy a new console in Xtravision. If there is a fault with it after 28 days - they wont look at it. You will have to send it back to MS

    Really? I wonder what the Sale Of Goods and Supply of Services Act has to say about that?

    If this is the case, I guess (if getting one) get somewhere other than Xtravision to price match.

    If you ring the ODCA they'll tell you it's six years and she told me to quote them. I suppose if you're in the shop and they're refusing to comply you could ring the ODCA there and then and get them to speak with the manager.

    If you buy something in the shop you may have a 28-day returns guarantee that you can return it for whatever reason. (this is an extra)

    If you buy something and it is not up to the job for which it was sold, with reasonable usage, then you are entitled to a replacement. (this is the law)

    Not sure about the 6 years mentioned above, but it's definitely for longer than 28 days.
    http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/consumer-affairs/consumer-protection/consumer-rights/consumers_and_the_law_in_ireland/

    Under this Act the purchaser of goods has a number of rights - the main ones are

    Goods must be of merchantable quality – goods should be of reasonable quality taking into account what they are meant to do, their durability and their price
    Goods must be fit for their purpose – they must do what they are reasonably expected to do
    Goods must be as described - the buyer must not be mislead into buying something by the description of goods or services given orally by a salesperson or an advertisement.

    If things go Wrong
    If you have a problem with an item that you have bought it is always the seller who should put things right. As a general rule, the seller can either repair or replace the item. Alternatively, they can refund the costs of the item or service to the consumer.

    If you are not satisfied with the quality of goods or services you can:

    Return the goods to the supplier who sold it to you (you should not return the goods to the manufacturer)
    Act as soon as you can – a delay can indicate that you have accepted faulty goods or services
    Do not attempt to repair the item yourself or give it to anyone else to repair it
    Make sure that you have a proof of purchase (a receipt, cheque stub, credit card statement or invoice)

    Nope,its true...28 days to get a replacement if anything goes wrong. After 28 days the store still has to deal with the problem,but they send it off for repair (they might tell you to send it off yourself but legally they have to deal with the issue so they have to send it off). This does not affect your statutory rights.

    is this the best deal around lads?

    It is indeed, the closest is Smyths. 360 with GoW and WWE/RAW for €399.

    The XtraVision deal is the best. You save €135 by getting that.

    thanks, not as good as the 4 game deal with the 2nd controller but I'll go for it. Role on Halo 3 in Autumn


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 404 ✭✭Antamojo


    Good deal
    Might get it myself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 260 ✭✭franman


    Went to get this pack in Xtra-Games in the square this morning. They only had PES6 xbox bundles in so I got PES6 for free aswell :D . Also it only came to €395.

    Could see about 6 more PES6 360 bundles left.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,788 ✭✭✭tvnutz


    A lot of stores seem to have excess stock of the world cup core bundle. So the offer is the core console with the world cup game,crackdown,PGR,Gears of War and a Play and charge kit for 299euro. Then just buy a hard drive for 99.99 and it works out the same as the premium bundle but you actually get an extra game!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 888 ✭✭✭Kanney


    Annoying enough to have the hdd beside it tho, in a confined space i guess.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 165 ✭✭Stephen!


    Gamestop also have an offer where an xbox360 premium plus 2 pre owned games for 360 euro.

    or they have the same one as smiths with the xbox premium GoW, Smackdown vs Raw 2007 and play and charge kit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,370 ✭✭✭Timans


    I just saw in an Xtra Vision booklet thingy that they are doing :

    Premium 360, Crackdown, GoW, PGR3 and Play+Charge for €399.99.

    While stock lasts though, Also had Donnie Darko for 3.99 :eek:

    You're right, I was actually looking at this. I hope this bundle stays till the summer, it is the best no doubt.

    You can trade in games against anything even if it is a special bundle offer. But they don't take in consoles anymore.

    Got the 360 with PES6 and other 3 games today for 321 in total.

    Good deal tbh

    How any games did you have to trade in for that? Were they recent enough games? Was this the Tallaght branch? I assume that is a premium model?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 888 ✭✭✭Kanney


    Are Xtravision right when they say that they are the best for trade ins? Gamestop and Game in my opinion have been terrible, I only do it for store credit.

    Yes...and if you find a better trade in price elsewhere they will meet it.

    NO way was the premium that cheap. With all those games. Unless the person traded aload of games and stuff in with it!

    The deal is 399.99 so he obviously traded in a few games and got it for 321. That is what he said he was going to do anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 888 ✭✭✭Kanney


    I'm thinkin of getting this, well not thinking, I am getting this. So say I spend four hundred on this bundle. What else will I need to enhance my Xbox experience, how much will I need to spend, I'm guessing you only get one controller, and I need to spend for Xbox Live, yes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,401 ✭✭✭shortys94


    Im really glad I bought my xbox at Christmas, tesco deal, xbox live is worth it itself, hilarious and fun. Great console.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL

    Damn, thats not really good. I said to myself today, I can walk five minutes down to Xtravision and buy a 360 and be playing GOW/Crackdown within the hour. I have the money but I look too far ahead, I'm going away to the states this summer. I suppose I have to save for that. I was hoping if I trade in a bunch of my ps2 games then maybe I'll make it but €1 trade backs... I'd find more than that on the walk down to Xtravision.

    haha i got 4 euro for harry potter and the chamber of secrets on xbox and i bought pac of skittles and a bottle of powerade. see i think they give you price on how many they have in the store and stuff, so the less popular old games get more money i think:confused: coz i got ten euro about a year and a half ago for dead or alive 2 or 3 (the first one on the ps2)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    You would be better off trying to sell the games on adverts. At least then you'll get more than €1 a game. More work involved though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭Fnz


    Just back from Harvey Norman. 13% off all stock (today only) They were willing to match the €399.99 Xtravision Xbox 360 bundle which includes:

    - Premium pack (20 gig hard drive, wireless controller)
    - Project Gotham Racing 3
    - Crackdown
    - Gears Of War
    - and Play+Charge lead

    Talked to a pleasant chap who said that the best he could do was give me the bundle for €389.99.

    Not bad but I was hoping to get the full 13% off so I passed.

    obviously very old games there mate! You get crap allfor the old ones. But for newer PS2 titles like Fifa 07,WWE Smackdown v Raw 07 etc you get 30 quid.
