Rub your hands together folks, ’cause Xbox 360 will be on sale next week – well, some of it, at least.
The box proper will be unavailable until 12:01am (yes, at night) on March 23, but in the meantime launch titles such as Gotham Racing 3, Kameo: Elements of Power and Perfect Dark Zero will be available from March 2, for $100 apiece.
Itching for a wireless controller? You might want to pitch a tent outside Harvey’s on March 8 to avoid the queues and stampedes when they go on sale the next day.
