Also, isn't it rumored that Msft will enable USB storage in a future firmware update?
Target has bumped their gift card up to $50 to reflect the WalMart/Amazon deals. I got mine yesterday at the Glendale, CO Target for $155 and some change and it came with a $50 gift card. There was an official looking tab on the shelf that said $50 gift card, so I'm pretty sure it'll be all Targets.
Target is selling it for $130 now, because of a problem with the ad listing a headset that's not included, so now at Target it's $130 plus a $50 GC, making the 360 $80!
Smokin!
I just bought this same xbox a month ago for $160. Meh, did anyone see $85 coming?
so you are going to spend $150 plus tax to go trade in the console and get $100 plus $6 for the games? even after the $50 gift you will have spent over $100 anyway to get the Arcade in the first place. in the end depending on your tax doing that will actually cost the same or even more than just using 100 bucks cash towards the new slim 360 in the first place.I'm thinking about buying this, trading it in to gamestop with the games for credit buying the new slim. Anyone else do this?
even if that worked out would it be worth the hassle for 10-15 bucks in the end? just go buy the new 360 and be done with instead of driving around going to different Targets just to see if they screw up the price so you can save 10-15 bucks by the the time its all said and done.=\
I was referring to the $85 target deal. Not that I'm guaranteed to find one.
you are going to need a hd if you want to dl any demos or dlc. in the long run the new slimmer 360 is the better buy if you want the large hd and built in wifi.I picked one up at Target and got a $50 giftcard. Unfortunately a 1yr XBOX Live Gold membership cost $50 there so I'll probably buy it somewhere else.
OK, now that I have the unit do I need to buy a harddrive for anything or can I just use a 16GB flashdrive?
do the math. IF you needed wifi that would be another 100 bucks. IF you want the official Microsoft hd so you dont have to worry about getting banned then thats over 100 bucks. that means to upgrade those 2 things would be more expensive than just getting the quieter and cooler running new slim 360. also some people want to use the the digital out on the audio which would require an adapter on old model.I don't need wifi because it's close to my router, and isn't the new slim $300? How is that better?
so it rings up for $130 but you are only taxed on 80 bucks? please explain in more detail as its a bit confusing.Got it from Target today: Just got it for $130 (Sign said $130, price tag said $150) and $50 GC which employee confirmed as soon as I asked about it. Only taxed on the $80 too.
