If you haven't pre-ordered one you've got next to no chance of getting one next week though.

I'm getting mine for Christmas, Dad pre-ordered weeks ago from Dixons in Meadowhall.

Last day for pre-orders for garaunteed pre-Christmas delivery was 3 weeks ago mate, 2nd of November... If you pre-order now you won't get one till after Christmas, probably not till at least January.

There's a little shop right near Staples in city centre (off St Mary's roundabout) that does XBox repairs and spares. I've been there before and they remedied my problem quickly and were very helpful.

Depending whether you ordered the premium pack or the core pack, the 360 is backward compatible to certain current gen Xbox games... There's a list of the confirmed backward compatible games from day 1 on Xbox.com afaik.
