Should I buy an 360 now or at Xmas?

I was just wondering what people thought with regards to how much the 360 will come down for Christmas.

My problem is that Argos are doing a cracking offer, of the Premium Pack plus a Mega Pack - in total the console, HDD, wireless controller, wired controller, remote control, steering wheel, facia and a game of your choice.

For £280.

So do I go and get one tonight, or wait for the price to possibly go down at Christmas?

The risk of availability is one I don't want to take, certainly seeing as there were only 30 left at one store when a mate picked one up earlier. I'd be looking at getting it tonight or tomorrow. Its a cracking deal, I don't know how much better the offers can get, thus my post. The WII is out in December too, so I wasn't sure if there would be a bit of a console/price war.

Of course the big war is PS3 Vs 360, but some of the stuff coming out of the WII, the nifty controller - could cause a dent in the armory of 360 this Christmas.

But then as someone else said, the PS3 will be out at about £400 so why should they lower the price?

You must also be running the risk of no availability if you wait?

Id guess Microsoft and Nintendo will have stupidly large numbers of units available, to take advantage of Sony's PS3 supply issues. I cant imagine for one moment they will want to be caught short!

It's not a bad deal but that is for a core. If you are intending to go online with it and join the live community and you also have a HD ready TV then you would probably better off going for a 360 premium bundle, which will also include the headset for online play & HD tv cables.

For example Play have a bundle which includes an extra wireless controller & PGR3 for £289
