    Play and charge 19.99, battery on its own 14.99. Those were the sticker prices, so half that... 10 euro and 7.50 respectively...

    If you're looking for wireless controllers, Tesco are doing the black wireless one with 2 games for 29.99. The controller on its own is at least 39.99 everywhere else

    Gamestop are doing a white wireless controller with Forza 2 for 29.99 as well

    €50 in Harvey Norman isn't too bad, I picked one up for €25 during the half price thing a couple of weeks back after waiting nearly 4 years for one. Keep your eyes peeled on the HN ads after Christmas!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 513 ✭✭✭Antigone05


    xbox steering wheels were recalled some time ago i havent seen them on the scene since!

    also the wifi adapter for the xbox was down to 45euro a few days back, presume its the same. oh that and the controllers are 24 euro i think. pretty decent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,169 ✭✭✭ironictoaster


    So I'm back from HN's Blanchardstown.

    50% off applies to only controllers, cables, media remotes and wifi adapters. Not the wireless headset! :( They had no wifi adapters at all, but loads of everything else.

    Wireless headsets were in the same basket as 50% off stuff, so I tried to chance my arm, no joy.

    HN's in waterford were givin 50% off the wireless headsets. Maybe you should tell Blanchardstown HN that and they might reconsider?

    Because Microsoft want to take every penny they can possibly get off you! Just look at all the products you have to buy after purchasing an xbox...bang!Microsoft have you !

    Or, maybe because it was the first console to the market in this generation and wireless wasn't yet the norm... But I agree, even €50 is too expensive for the adaptor, let alone the RRP.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,770 ✭✭✭Nedved85


    I got the 4200 pts over 2 days, so if there are any left io cant see why anyone else couldnt pick them up, 12 months xbox live was out of stock


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32 Delminuso007

    Your dead right there, but Microsoft should of built in a wireless adapter after 2007, they also screwed me by not putting an optical slot on the back of their console, they make you purchase this special adapter at a ludicrous price!
