Best XBox Deal?
The Cube just ain't cutting it anymore, so I think I'll get an XBox with my upcoming X-Mas money. Any tips on where to buy? I know there's the $150 deal going on right now. Is that the best I'll be able to do?
Also, would be it better to just buy now or wait until Christmas?
Thanks!

you could order it with free shipping from a number of online vendors.
www.macmall.com for instance
Same price as retail ($150), but you'll save $10-15 on tax, a couple bucks on gas, and your time...which is worth what you make of it.
Best of luck.

I just checked with the Microcenter in OP, KS and they quoted me $149.99....
Jesse--was this an ad in your local paper or something? Just curious if you were able to confirm that it was Microcenter.
I too am looking for a cheaper second Xbox system, although I don't want to go the used/Ebay route. Any other deals would be appreciated. Almost all the Black Friday bundles were picked clean by late on Friday.
Thanks

I just ordered from Gamestop with a free shipping coupon, but now I notice it's backordered. Damn. Wonder when they'll get them in stock.

I saw a bundle at GameStop for $299 I believe.
4 Games total(Halo 2 is one of them) others are a sports title, and some others.
2 controllers
1 year live starter kit with full version of mech assault
I didn't think it was too bad of a deal. I'm sure the gamestop webpage has the details of the system.

I know you said no to ebay .. 
.. but I've been just drooling over the deals on there. Not everything is used either. I wish I had the cash and/or was a greedy beetch.
