Well I gave it a crack.. apparently they do have my nice shiny new xbox sitting down at Harvey Normans but apparently according to the guy I talked to as soon as you plug it into the interwebs it reports back to Microsoft and Harvey Norman can be fined a lot of money for letting it out the door ahead of the release date.

So one more day it is.

Harvey Normans standard price is $448. I got the two games as I negotiated that before they dropped the price however they are one of the game packs that they often throw in as a sweetener so should not be hard to convince them to include them.

dick smith has a "hot deal" advertised for 13th/14th which appears to be the new console plus those two games for $479. what are the games worth on their own?

According to Mightyape $100 for Pure and $80 for Batman but as mentioned it will be the game pack which means they both come in the same case and cost the store near nothing.

i grabbed one from noel leeming today, got the console + lego/pure game pack + extra wireless controller (with arcade game pack) for $520. already have a spare hdmi cable so didnt need another one

went to the good guys in wairau park - they had no stock and a list price of $498. They did say they were having a massive store opening special starting tomorrow and running till sunday so there should be good discounts on everything..

I'll give Microsoft some kudos for actually making a really quiet unit, the new 360 isn't audible at all over the noise of anything you'd be playing unless the DVDROM is going full-tilt, and even that seems a lot quieter than the previous version, having a half-decent sized HDD finally that you can install a few games onto so the DVD doesn't need to be running the whole time is great.

The casing feels a bit "cheap", it pumps a LOT of heat out the side (don't store your games beside it!), and it's only very slightly smaller than the original unit (side-by-side and there's not much in it), the only real benefit is the massive reduction in noise and the bigger HDD, if you're buying a new one then that might be enough though :)

Oh, and the added wireless support which should've been there from day one is pretty handy too.

The July 14th flyer on their site only lists it with the Crackdown 2 game for $399. Maybe it's a regional thing?
