maybe those people who can't afford £190-£200 quid+ for a console and £40-£50 odd quid for new games ?

maybe those people just want a console to play some games on a £25 quid would be spot on.

or aren't they allowed to play games ?

I must be doing something wrong 'cause I'm still playing GameCube, SNES and PS1 games. God forbid the graphics aren't in HD.

These should be given as part of the heating allowance to the elderly.

Good deal. If like me you're a gamer it doesn't matter what console you play on... gaming is gaming simple.. Been on playstation since 2009 and never had a 360... bought one 2 months ago and bought all Halo games and Gears of War games plus all others that didn't come to PS... Had a great time playing them and didn't cost much at all.

probably about 1 or 2 at most - usually is with game. great deal if you can get one

Seriously, who wants to buy a second hand museum piece?

Are you for real?
I have a 360, Xbox One and PS4, these days the 360 never gets turned on. Like it or not all the great games are now on the One or PS4. Something to do with 1080p I believe.

It's advisable to get the Xbox 360 S over the old 360 models but even then, there's a chance it'll get the red dot of death. My 360 S got the red dot after I rebooted the console since it froze when I was watching a DVD.

I'd thought that Microsoft had fixed the RRoD issue but they didn't. It's just less likely.

Anywho, a 360 for £24.99 is a great deal even if it only lasts a couple of months.

1080p ish u mean ye

Very good for you, but these consoles are great for kids.

Decent deal. I left mine in a garage somewhere, might need to go track it down.

Kids demand newest technology dream on.

Not all kids are the same.

brilliant for local multiplayer, looking forward to my halo night tomorrow night

Exactly. Kids are only the way they are by what the parents shows and give them.

A lot of kids nowadays are very spoiled with iPhones. As if a kid needed an overpriced phone.

heat from me, if a kid gets £50 at Christmas, this plus some 360 classics should last a while.

Kids 'demand' a great deal of things. Who's the adult in your house?

Jesus absolutely wept at these comments :laughing:

What's wrong with this console didn't it come out with PS3 and are there any good games that come with this

Lol the comments. I would actually even buy an original Xbox if a deal came up. Gotta get that Shenmue II fix again!

​I have a 360, Xbox One and Ps4 too and I play my 360 more than i play my Next gen consoles, turn it in mate, your comment was clearly stuck up haha :wink:

There are loads of fantastic games for the 360, many of which can be bought for only a few pounds. There's literally hundreds of hours of entertainment to be had for less than 50 quid with this deal plus some cheap, second hand games.

Oh and "something to do with 1080p" is genuinely laughable when mentioning the current gen consoles. Remind me again, on how many games can the Xbox One only manage 900p @ 30fps (if that)?

Heat for deal btw, OP. :smiley:

​if you see an original Xbox (ie the first xbox) for £25 let me know, that would be a brilliant deal.

If they suddenly stopped making games tomorrow and given the choice i would rather own a ps3/xbox360 than ps4/xbox1.

For those deriding the 360 because the Xbox One has better graphics etc, ask yourself why, if nobody wants to play the old games, are so many of them being made compatible with the Xbox One? The 360 may not be cutting edge but, like the PS3, it was host to some fantastic games that deserve to still be enjoyed.

If you never owned an Xbox 360 and want the chance to catch up on some real classics, this is a relatively cheap way of doing it. If I didn't already own two of 'em I'd be tempted myself.

If you want to do some competition I have almost 3 times more consoles than you and I still play on 360 and PS3. Some people are not that fortunate and can only afford 360 which is still a wonderful console especially for that price. Grow up.

Use an emulator, it'll probably be better. I play Shenmue 2 on Demul with a pad (Dreamcast emulator) in high definition and it runs like err.......a dream. Piece of cake to setup too.

Anyone saying the 360/ps3 are not worth playing are ridiculous, the 360/ps3 are 10x better Purley because of the game library to back them up. However in say 5-10 years when the xbone/ps4 has an extensive game library then they will be the superior consoles.

PS: Graphics isn't everything in a game I would much rather play old zelda games than a game running at 4k 120fps that consist of a blank room that says GAME in it.

this console and a copy of minecraft will keep most children occupied for days, as people have said, hundreds of cheap used AAA titles to be had for a few £'s each too.

some people have more important things to spend £200 on than a next gen console.

​And this comment shows how much of a numpty you are. Because in your mind, graphics > gameplay, right?

I bet you're the type of person that buys a new console for the latest technology and improvements. And then purchases FIFA as their first game...

Great deal however the HDD is a bit small but if you're not too bothered about backing up your disks to the HDD than Its good enough. still worth a buy either way. Heat added

Smart words. Totally agree :smiley:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, agreed!.

kids get what their parents can afford!!!! For some an xbox 360 is better than no present at all. Do you know how many kids won't get anything this christmas? And f.y.i i am not on benefits. Have a heart some people are really struggling.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned it being a grade C yet

I have a 360 and a PS4 and I play 360 the most and play the classic cod such as black ops 2 and mw3

I have to agree, the games on current gen consoles aren't "all that" sure they look nice, but they really aren't as engaging or fun as some games on older consoles. biker your head is up yer bum.

Love shenmue!

​You for real?

Xbox 360 was the home of great games when it was current. Because it's no longer the current generation, doesn't make its games less great.
My xbox one is my backwards compatible machine and my ps4 is for current titles.

The reason the ps4 or xbox one gets used is because people like buying newly released titles that you can't get on last gen.

because of 1080p graphics..... if that's the case, pc must be the place for great games for 1440p or 4k with your logic. :confused:

Damn. Could of used a back up.

​What a game. Probably my all time favourite

Great deal if you can get one. It might be older technology but there are loads of great games still available. I would have bought one for my 9 year old nephew as a first console if they weren't oos.

why are you all arguing over something so trivial... grow up. 360 is a decent console, but none of them have a patch on PC anyway. It's like arguing over what iPhone is the best, they're all terrible compared to ... everything else.

I like that this got to exactly 360 degrees :smile:

Funny you should say that I literally just found out about Demul 2 days ago, I have the tab pinned in chrome to try it out when i get a chance so I definitely will check it out. I've been playing on the Shenmue version of NullDC and it's pretty good overall.. worst thing is probably flickering hair textures so that's not too bad at all really.
Been looking at getting an original Xbox as I've never tried that version and it looks interesting the changes they made... although the English language dub is absolutely awful but luckily that can be modded

Demul is probably the best and the most accurate DC emulator currently available for PC. Which also means it's one of the slowest and most demanding.

It's fine though on a modern quad core like an i5 2500k and up, anything decent from the Nvidia 500 series/Radeon 6000 or newer should give much better results and resolution than original hardware. If you have an ancient machine then you'll struggle, but I have something good so I can set like 5x native resolution in the options to make it render in HD and it is smooth and locks to 60FPS.

VMU setup is practically automatic, pad support works like a charm. I use either a Dual Shock 3 or an Xbone Elite. Any pad that works in Windows will do. I have played Daytona USA 2001 which has a few minor frame pace issues, Sonic Adventure, F355 challenge which work really well and Shenmue 2 recently. I even managed to force enable Anti Aliasing in the Nvidia control panel and that works as well without screwing up the renderer! One of my shots from Daytona, super smooth :confused:

Awesome that looks really good. Got a way overpowered pc so no probs running it. I'll definitely check it out asap. Does it use same format ROMs as nullDC? I was running them straight from .rar archives iirc.
I've got a Logitech G15 keyboard I was using just for nullDC because the screen can be used as a VMU which is pretty funny. Using X360 pad but might get a legit dreamcast one and usb converter for nostalgia sake

Awesome thanks

Most of the next gen stuff releases have been dissapointing so it's not a bad thing to own a 360.. I still have a pile of games on the 360 which I haven't even started playing .. and they cost between 2 and £5

My kids know better than to make demands, they politely ask, im into my tech and we have the latest consoles & a good gaming pc in the house...the kids each have a 360/ps3 and if they prove they can look after them then they get upgraded.

You made 3 points good enough to start an argument ,iPhone is a like Mercedes ,your paying for quality and luxury and Samsung and others is like a Nissan skyline it's just as good or better but much cheaper in term of looks or quality ,pc is twice as expensive ,bigger most of the time,more unreliable as more things can go wrong with it and it needs people with way too much time one their hand to playing around the parts ,you comparing a pc with console is like comparing a pc with a tablet,obviously the pc wins but the tablet is more practically adapted

True that sir
