Rare blue special edition 500GB Xbox 360 back in stock at £179.99

Dealspwn writes: Did you know that Microsoft made a blue Xbox 360 with a 500GB hard drive? Honestly this is the first I'd heard of it, since this limited edition SKU was released in fairly short supply.

However, one of the few retailers that still stock them are back in business for only £179.99. You'll get the azure console, controller and two free digital games into the bargain.

I'll level with you: you can get an Xbox 360 for much less than this. But if you absolutely must have the Blue version with its seriously decent hard drive, it doesn't get any cheaper than this, since they're otherwise going for upwards of £240 elsewhere.

That is... blue. Not surprised I hadn't heard of it, can't be many people who say "I'd like an Xbox 360, if only it was blue."

DarkOcelet3331d ago

Its funny that your name starts with blue lol.

On topic: I think it looks great.

Blues Cowboy3331d ago

LOL! Suppose I'd probably better buy one now.

darthv723331d ago

There are those who collect color variants. I have a few myself but I am not that extreme as to get them from around the world.

there are some colors that are only available in certain territories. And the PS3/360 generation made it really difficult to collect for with not just colors differences but specialized models as well.

Blues Cowboy3331d ago

True, hadn't thought of that.

bggriffiths3331d ago

Can't decide if this is nice or not. That's usually irrelevant though, if it's rare, it may be worth something in the future.

BlackTar1873331d ago

i think i'm going to buy this.

WCxAlchemist3331d ago (Edited 3331d ago )

Not going to lie, That is thee ugliest 360 color design ever created. But the price is a deal for 500gb

Edit: I just got a headache looking at the pic

Blues Cowboy3331d ago (Edited 3331d ago )

Yeah, N4G has horribly compressed it!

(and it's hideous :P )

M4DE_IN_W4LE53331d ago

Just bought one , Argos is the british version , I think it s bargain with to bigger HD too. Colours a shame but but I need a bigger HD and the black ones are £50 more. ooo weee

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II - PC Wore it Better

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.

dadavis19922d ago

Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.

Michiel19892d ago

there is a client made by modders and it also works online.

kevco332d ago

Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
