Sounds like it was a mistake, but if you can get a hold of the original ad, you may have an argument.

wow, 360 is going to kill in nov NPD, the CC 360+20GB HD +extra wireless controller for $199 is the steal of the bunch. you could ebay the harddrive for $30, the extra controller for $40, the 5 XBLA games for $10, and the tennis game for $15,which means you pay $105 for a 360 with a wireless controller and a 256 mem card. sell the mem card for $10 bucks or more and you have a 360 for under a $100.Jim said:
I'm really looking to upgrade my 360. I'm still (un)lucky enough to have my launch console. I recently had a display problem with it and I did get the red rings once before a while back. As such I haven't really kept up to date with the new 360s and what not. Would getting Holiday Arcade bundle be a good deal for me and just pop in my hdd? Are the new arcades exactly the same as the new pro bundles minus the hdd?

I'm all over that DS3 for $30 bucks if they have them in stock at my local RadioShack.

A 360 with no games, no harddrive, no wireless internet access, and only 1 controller.
Not that that's still not a bad deal, but you're gutting it just to shave the price further. Enjoy the harddrive, the XBox Live Arcade games, and two-player splitscreen and just be satisfied you got a great deal for $200.

yep, and if you did the CC deal you might even make money by selling your current system minus harddrive.Crabcakes said:

my computer is right next to my system, wireless does nothing for me but slow down downloads, and I have no friends. harddrive is very nice for DLC and XBLA games but not everyone cares about that stuff. you still can play fable, gears, fallout, dead space, saint's row, halo 3 or any other game(besides that soccer game and FFXI) just fine without a harddrive for about a $100 bucks, plus you get a dvd player that upconverts dvds to HD.Campster said:

Was definitely a misprint. Sam's had it pulled and replaced. It's $425.

I wonder if it's worth it to try for that arcade 360 at Circuit City. That bundle + $20 Bioshock would be a hell of a deal.

Didn't see that, I'll probably get it then (If I can buy it online).

I did Black friday last year, and I'm never doing it again. I got to the store at 10AM and felt like I was in a fucking moshpit at any place I walked. Luckily, even 6 hours after opening I still got the stuff I wanted (new HDTV, Gold Zelda DSLite) and I didn't have to stand in line at 3 AM, but I think on that day this year I'm just gonna stay home and avoid public places.

I've decided that if I can buy the stuff online because I won't be in the country, then I'll get Dead Space and Burnout Paradise for a total of 50 bucks.

Another thing to do for Black Friday sales is show up, find your stuff and then hide it on the shelf and come back later once the check out lines have died down from the initial rush.

Booring...call me when some good games are price dropped.

How do you not know whether or not you have done something like that?
weird
This season seems pretty weak so far. There are one or two deals I'm looking at grabbing. Store 'door-busters' can be decent, but for the most part online sales have been way way way better than door-busters for several years now.
imo

You know I'm starting to think the same thing. Here I own a PS3 and Wii with games I've yet to beat on both consoles. Also a pretty big backlog of ps1/2 and a few gamecube games and now I want to buy a 360 too. My backlog will get way bigger because there are a few Xbox games I'd like to play.......................................Maybe I should hold back until I beat at least most of the games I got now.

looks like I need to make a call to my CC friends and have them hold me a 360 and a copy of deadrising.

Any word on when Fry's is going to release their ad? That would likely be my only chance to get Left 4 Dead cheaper than Amazon, and I'm running out of time for the Amazon deal.

Are the CC Dead Space deals good online or just in-store?

Damnit 360, youre getting so tempting.
I must keep reminding myself that 6 months after launch the GC cost 150$ and the Xbox cost 199$.
Must resist.

Man, my wife and I are looking for a 40 gig PS3 to purchase for her parents (Games for dad, Blu Ray for mom). Does anybody know if any of the major retailers still carry the 40 gig?
