DVD Movie Kit £2.50

Just been to Woolworths to get a controller but they did not have any the lady behind the counter said "we only have these" and held up a DVD Movie Kit, £2.50.

I have been after one for ages but did not want to pay the high prices i have seen.

She scaned it twice so it must be the proper price

Re: DVD Movie Kit £2.50

Good find! Not seen these left in any Woolies near me and they have been out of stock online for ages. You should go and buy them all and then resell them for a small profit to your fellow forum members to cover p&p - starting with me

Re: DVD Movie Kit £2.50

Thanks Neil for your post. I'll try my local tomorrow again. Been wanting one of these since Christmas.

Was in Woolies yesterday and bought 12 games for £26, most were £1.97 each. At first, I ironically took a game priced £9.99 to buy but was told is not in the draw full of Xbox games. So I said could I have a look at what you have left. Then out came a pile which the assistance kindly scanned for me without asking to sort out the cheapest ones. I was well please to say the least.

She advised me to ask at the counter at any other woolies as they may not be putting these out on the shelves. Good luck.

Re: DVD Movie Kit £2.50

I would very much appreciate a DVD kit for that sort of money. I have a remote but lost the dongle whilst moving

Re: DVD Movie Kit £2.50

Depends how far the Xbox is from the seats really. Also the setup looks much neater without a big wire trailing across the floor

My main use for the xbox is purely for XBMC, therefore the remote means it's a lot tidier than having a controller plugged in all the time!

Re: DVD Movie Kit £2.50

mine was £2.47 also but did not want to brag to much about how cheap it was.

Went to another Woolworths today but they have no xbox bits either
