Actually, this thread--just like the BIG LIST - Dreamcast Deals--has ALWAYS been about deals for ANYTHING Xbox-related, which includes:Originally posted by: LucJoe
So, it seems like this thread has transformed from a thread centered around getting an xbox system to a thread centered around getting accessories and games. But I'm still in the market for a system, so....
It seems like there have been very FEW deals on the consoles since the pre-Christmas rush.Originally posted by: LucJoe
Thanks for the reply, I was just pointing out that it seems like the main focus of the thread has shifted as more and more people have obtained the system and now are only looking for games/accessories.
However, you still didn't answer my question.
Anyone know if there is a better deal out there?

As long as there is one near by then yes they will
Best Buy and CC will each not only match a LOCAL competitor's price, but will also refund an extra 10% of the pricematch amount.Originally posted by: Sachmho

Gamer's Gift cards kept in the videogame section of each BB store.
They are individually wrapped in jewel cases.
On the back of the case liner is a coupon good for $5 off any video game or accessory purchase for $19.99 and up
Take a gift card up to the register with your purchase.
Buy JUST the gift card first.
Have some value put on it (no minimum).
After that transaction is complete...then have the cashier ring up the item(s).
Use the gift card, plus the $5 off coupon.
Pay the difference.
VOILA!!!

I've done the BB card as well. I bought it, put $5 on it, then left the store and opened it and walked back in 20 seconds later and voila, $5 for free.
Skoorb knows that if the cops got called by a nervous store manager and he happened to get arrested, MrsSkoorb wouldn't put up any bail when she found out he was buying Xbox stuff.Originally posted by: mpittsWhy even leave the store? I have bought the gift card, walked to the back of the line, then used the card and $5 coupon.Originally posted by: Skoorb

Just checked...the Gamestop deals are valid until 1/5/2003Originally posted by: TallGeese
HUGE Gamestop circular in the Sunday paper today.
Best deal = Trade-in 2 Xbox games, choose Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, or Mortal Kombat, Deadly Alliance for $9.99
The circular also lists used prices for many of the most popular titles for various systems.
It even lists trade-in values for other titles.
One AWESOME trade-in: Serious Sam garners $18.00 in credit
Serious Sam is only $19.99 at CC.
Here's what I'm thinkin about doing:
Buy it at BB, PM to CC, use $5 off Gamers Gift Card...makes Serious Sam only $14.99 (& tax).
Take Serious Sam to Gamespot. Trade it in for $18 credit (& tax).
If you can do this one more than once, you're making about $4~$5 each time.
Best of all...this is totally legal, since you are trading SS in as a USED game.
