Was this a good deal? (X-Box)
I spent some more time with my friend's X-Box, and decided to go ahead and get one whenever Virgin got them in again. That just happened to be today (they got 8, they had 4 when I got there). I got:
X-Box
Dead or Alive 3
Halo
Munch's Oddysee
Whatever the S-Video cable pack is
all for $342.68
Not too shabby if I say so myself. Here's how it worked. I got the X-Box, Halo, DOA3, an extra controller, and memory card at Virgin for $347.98 by getting 30% off their regular bundle price of $469. I took the controller and memory card to K-Mart, and exchanged them for the video pack, Munch, and $5.30 in change. Pretty good take, no?
I played Halo for about 2 hours, and the DD 5.1 in game is REALLY cool! I'm still waiting to be "blown away" by the graphics, though (I'm just to the level where you save your captain).
Just thought I'd share

Yeah I was gonna say "I wouldn't have gotten Munch." I didn't know the memory card was included in that bundle? I hate that. you don't NEED a memory card for Xbox. SIGH!!

I've not yet opened Munch, I may keep it sealed and trade it for RAW after Christmas.
