Yes, but you might have to trasfer your stuff over first with the trasfer cable they give you, it's really easy.

€129.99 in Galway.

BaconZombie

Yup, I pretty much had my 20gb one full, it took about 40 mins to transfer over though, works perfect now too, just loaded COD4 on it All you account avatar saves, everything it keeps

That's predictable :mad: gotta get one of these, anybody know if they have any in Grafton as will probably be goin town this afternoon (Wednesday)

kaiser soza

Perks of the job I suppose just get in to any HMV before 10am tomorow and hope for the best.

docdolittle

I didn't think this many people would want one... :P Suppose €90 off is a good offer :P

claiva

There are none in grafton street, the till op was amazed at the price when I asked if he had any, he didn't know about the deal. He rang Henry street for me and the guy there told him they had a few but all were being held for staff. I went down anyway on the off chance and the guy in Henry street gave me the one that was being held for him !!!!!
I couldn't believe it !!!!
Fair play to him. Great to see there are still a few sound people left in the country !!!!
Amazing bargain....thanks for the heads up !!!!!
:D:D

Snake Plisken

Probably here http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.21431, but it's second hand. Failing that, just look for a deal or ebay

Edit: actually, it say's thats a fake one dam DE!

to transfer data, do you need a second 360 or how does that work?

nope, they give you a transfer cable with the Hard drive. I think you just hook the HD to the cable and into the xbox and way you go..

Was just in Grafton Street at lunch and there was 3 left, grabbed myself one and now there's 2. Nice one OP, deal made all the sweeter as I had a HMV gift card with a bit of credit left burning a hole in my wallet so it only cost me €20.

RESULT

Called down to henry st at 12.45 after reading Grafton st was sold out and there were none on the shopfloor so I queued up and spied at least two behind the counter. Staff member told me they were sold out and when I enquired about the ones I could see he said they were held for staff. I asked for the manager and she came over, messed about on the computer and went upstairs and after waiting 5 mins the guy behind the counter just scanned it and asked for payment. I felt a little bit bad but maybe they should have put it out of eye sight!

ondafly

got the last one in HMV blanch.

Many thanks to the OP

SirLemonhead

Ahh I miss working in town..

If anyone is going hunting for one and happens to spy two, if they wanted to grab one for me, i'd appreciate it :pac:

Jip

As I said, I left 2 behind in Grafton Street at lunch time.

You certain it was the last one? I bought one there at 12.45 and there were 4 on display on the shop floor when I was leaving - 3 priced at €39 and one with the old price still on it.

I know that's not necessarily an accurate indication of stock levels but thought they might remove the display cases as people bought the hard drives.

Thank you docdolittle - I installed 2 games to my 20gb drive and had no room left for much else. Now I can 'level up' my console.

Unlikely I could get in until 6

uncleoswald

I was told in Grafton St just now that these were put out by mistake and the sale starts tomorrow. Doesn't make much sense as all the branches seem to have made the same mistake but there you go.

so that means that they should be getting more in for the 'proper' sale

fearcruach

Was just in Grafton St. Said the same thing - that it was a mistake and they are going out tomorrow.

He said they had about 15 or so.

100% sure - I bought the last one, my friend who was with me bought 2. I bought the one with the proper price tag on it, went up first, puzzled eyes from the cashier, I explained they were on sale, he said some are ! but sold it at the correct price, after he used one of the other 2 boxes to scan in the bar code :pac:

Really ?
The guy told me there were none there at 10.15 am. He was genuinely amazed at the price when I told him. Maybe they had taken the 120gb off the shelves to re-price them. Did you find them on shelves or did you ask ? How do you know they had that many ?
My legs are still burning after I legged it down to Henry St !!!!!!

dave oc

Jus picked one up in grafton st, cheers op. Think i heard the guy saying there was 10 left out the back... and they are not on the shelf, you have ask at the counter.

kaiser soza

Put the 60gb harddrive on adverts,you would get very little on trade in.

BaconZombie

just picked up 2 of the last 5. Asked the girl at the till and the first thing she said was "did you hear bout it on the internet..."

Had to sweet talk her into givng me 2 since there not offically on sale till Thur.

I got mine in Blanch at 11:50 today and the guy at the counter did not even know they were going for that price and he was saying he should grab one for his mate. I wonder if the staff grabed a load as there was about 6 there at the time I was in, just ahead of you Fnz.

Oh and just on a side note the transfer cable did not work with my 60 gig drive it kept asking me to insert my 20 gig drive. So I just used a memory card to transfer profile and save games.

Liam O

That's bullcrap, I went to Henry St about 4 and they said they were sold out. I asked if they'd be gettin more in and after having a little conference with 2 other staff members at the computer they said they had none. I asked if they'd be gettin more in and all I get is a hurried yeah but we can't hold one so you'll just have to come in :mad: yeah thanks you're very helpful. By what people are saying there was still some in Grafton but naturally when I asked I was told they were sold out everywhere. So now I have to predict when they will get them in and find the time to get into town
