I am now the owner of a new Super Elite 250GB Xbox 360.

Picked up the Forza bundle the other day and now back gaming in the world of 360. It's nice to be back, I was missing those games "only on Xbox 360". Much to catch up on, Halo 3 ODST, Forza 3 and all the gits that have better times on Trials HD than me whilst I've been away.

I very nearly didn't end up with the Forza bundle, originally I planned to go with the Modern Warfare 2 bundle but couldn't wait that long. So popped into Game for the Forza bundle, got the kit home, opened it up and stared confused at the 120GB drive attached. Looked through the other accessories and then the box, even the receipt. I had a 120GB drive, should have been 250GB. One quick phonecall to Game, they had received a communication that this was occurring with some of their stock. I could take it back and get a replacement or refund. Quickly packed up the 360 again, headed into Game.

The helpful staff in Game had a look at all their remaining stock to find they had only incorrect bundles, so no Super Elite for me.

Or so fate thought!

Gamestation was only 30 seconds away, hurrah. I headed over there hoping they had at least one bundle correctly packaged. Pop up to the counter, ask the kind shop assistant for said bundle. As he places the bundle on the counter I asked for him to check it. He had already but was more than willing to give it another check - can't expect Microsoft to always get it right! 250GB HDD, correct.

Having paid the going rate, I headed home a happy (not proud, I'm still disappointed in the RROD from before) that I was going to be gaming on 360 again.

The Super Elite is nice compared to my old 1st gen 360, it's far quieter. That is so understated. It is sitting next to the PS3 and looking very nice all in black - they suit each other.

That's me now back gaming on the major platforms of interest, so expect some more blogging activity soon.
