Gamestation 360 HD_DVD drive (possibly) bargain - £19.56

Just had an email from ganestation to say htey have these back in stock at £19.56.

Xbox360 HD DVD Drive (Xbox 360) - free UK delivery at Gamestation.co.uk

Went to link in email and they claim to be available for immediate despatch.

Put an order in and on the page previous to the confirmation of the sale it said out of stock

Went to confirmation page and it said available for immediate despatch.


So not sure whether I will get it, but worth the effort at that price I reckon

Just thought I would let you know in case anyone is interested

Have had an email to confirm order so will just have to see what happens

Just don't come back to me if it doesn't work!!!!

asked the buggers at game for an email when stock was in as well and they let me down!

Would have bought one at that price!

Mind you £20 ain't bad - if it comes off.....

Not sure I'd bother guys, remember the 360 can be very loud when running an HD-DVD, speaking from experience. I replaced mine with a Toshiba HD-EP30, almost silent.

Re: Gamestation 360 HD_DVD drive (possibly) bargain - £19.56

Aye, but just wanted a cheap back-up for my ep30. And my set-up at home means my head is near the projector and not the dvd spinner......so the hd-dvd noise would be drowned out by the projector! Which in turned will be drowned out by the amp being turned up!

I agree not sure how much it is worth getting into HD-DVD now, although there are still some bargains out there, but I have about 70 discs that I want to keep being able to play if the EP30 goes belly up - and this gives me a little piece of mind - prices of of the Tosh players are still quite high second hand.......although may still get another ep30/35 if they drop a bit more......

BUt that's another thread, so i will stop rambling now!

Well they took the money from my account and 'apparently, there is a heavy 'shoebox' sized parcel waiting at home for me today, so looks like I was lucky.

So handy back up for my EP30.
