YMMV Halo XBOX $149

Well, I was in Toys R Us last night and they had every XBOX marked $149. Even the Halo one. I picked it up since my last one was dying...damn Thomson drive.

It rang up $169, but the lady just punched in $149, since the display box was marked that. This was at the ToysRus in Sterling Heights, MICHIGAN.

Pretty good deal on....I needed a new one anyways.

is there a difference between the hardware of the halo bundle one ?

I know it comes with the game and all but I heard that every generation of X-boxes have new hardware.

The translucent green outer shell. Other than that no.

Most of the HALO bundles also have either the Phillips or Samsung DVD drive....at least from what I heard. I got the Phillips...which is kinda disappointing, but much better than the Thomson.

Anyone know what CD-R media the Phillips will read?

Quieter, for one. I believe I heard they were faster as well. Not sure of that.

Actually, many people have been reporting that the Halo bundle system is much louder than the normal xbox systems. Not in all cases I would imagine, but quite a few it seems.
