I know this should be in the gaming thread but I wanted a bigger response on where to find the 360 for a great price and if at all possible bundled with a game or 2 and a second controller.

please someone post you deals if you know of any out there

thanks

Move to Console thread.

 

double

 

in Costco.com, there a bunch of different bundles right now... I didn't see one with 2 or more games... but right now, it's free shipping... the in store bundle right now, is okay... it comes with that "Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged" game which isn't very exciting... I don't know why they even bother threwing in that game... I think it's going for $475 (in store)... and yes, it comes with a 2nd controller/battery charger kit/headset

Costco.com has a bundle with Call of Duty 3, and another bundle with Gears of War, and one w/o no games, but 12 months LIVE.

 

just use ebay

 

Got mine on eBay. Got a new system plus a ton of other stuff, all new (free game, controller, XBOX Live membership, etc) for about $25 more then the Premium systems by itself sells for in the stores.

So yeah, I'd say eBay all the way...

 

eBay is a good option, but be wary that you don't get a defunt (read: 3 red lights of death) version. True, the warranty has been extended, but it sucks to pay for something that may not work out of the box.

 

^ I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask the manufacture date before bidding on eBay. That was what I did...

 

a buddy of mine bought a PS3 off eBay week 2 of launch, paid a ton of $$$ for and when he got the thing it never worked out of the box... yeah, he bitched with Sony and got a replacement eventually, but by the time he got it... there were PS3's poppin' up here and there...

I know the subject here is XBox360 but the point is... lots of time manufactures don't cover things bought on eBay...

 

Well that's easy... just go to a store, buy a new one, then return the old one in the old box (so the serials match).

I did it (not b/c the one I got off of eBay didn't work, but b/c I couldn't wait for it to get here and I was having company stay with us... so I bought from a store then returned the eBay one when it arrived)... and I had no problems.

 

Try craigslist, I bought mine through there for $325 Brand new and sealed Premium Xbox360. That's about how many are being sold for. You'll see some as low as $300, but you just gotta keep a look out for those deals.
