Guys,
Whats the best deal that you have got your Xbox 360 Premum for. I am planning to buy an XBOX 360, and I would like to know where can I get the best deal for the XBOX 360 premium from.

Any recommendations

If you guys could provide any links to the stores that would be great.

Cheers!!!

Retail price.

Unless you have a microcenter near you. They are doing a $100 rebate.

If you wait for Black Friday, several places are offering a free game (and/or controller).

And Amazon is likely selling a 360 Core for $100 on Thanksgiving day (a total of 1,000 of them). With all the publicity for this, however, it will be hard scoring one.

I just went to Target last night and bought a premium and signed up for the target card and saved 10%..comes out to 390 after tax. You get a 50 dollar giftcard and I used that to buy Gears of War. Gears of War comes with a 10 dollar giftcard, used towards HDDVD Batman Begins.

I believe the giftcards deal ends today though.

Retail! Perish the thought!

There is always something available. Overstock has 10% off most of the time, CC has that $40 coupon, BB has reward zone, WM has free Burnout Revenge, Costco has the long return/warranty bonus.....

Personally, I went with Costco since I know that it will drop ~$100 in price within 2 years. I'd rather have free warranty and that price protection than the $100 rebate or even 2 free games.

Trevor,
Could you explain the details on the costco deal. I didn't quitw understand that.

Where can i get that CC coupon?

Costco offers a bundle. But, you can pretty much take anything back you bought there at any time. Like, years later. One of the best return policies in the industry.

Deftones pretty much explained it, but I feel loquacious today.

Costco doesn't save you much money upfront, my bundle was $474 for a premium, extra wirless, charge kit, and arcade unplugged game. I didn't really want that game, but with the budle it was only like $10 more than I would have paid for the other stuff that many would consider essential.

But they are great with returns. If my 360 ever breaks, I'll bring it back and get a new one (saving me the $50 for 2 years warranty).

Also, I think it is probable that the price will drop at some point in the next few years (if not months). If the price drops significantly, I'll ask Costco to match the drop, but even if they don't, worst case scenario I just return it for all my original money back and re-buy it at the new lower price.

does anyone has the link to the $40 coupon for Circuit city.

I believe that CC coupon excludes the 360 system.
I picked up a 360 today at Target for retail but it came with a $50 gift card which you
can use however you want (I'm holding 'til next week to use on Rainbow 6 Vegas, but
you could turn it right over and get Gears which itself comes with a $10 gift card).
I then went over to Circuit City and picked up Gears and the Xbox Live Gold
Subscription Card (1 Year+1 bonus month) for $90 total when purchased on the same
receipt. These are only good thru this evening as the sales run thru Saturday.

On Black Friday Circuit City is running a buy an Xbox 360 and get a free game
of your choice deal (I believe this is only a 5am 'til 11am doorbuster)

I will try the Amazon deal....would be nice to have a backup 360 for $100....or, EBAY is your friend

Future Shop in Canada was selling the Xbox 360 premium yesterday with an extra wireless controller (I think) and four games (including GRAW and Gears of War) for $450 Canadian.

EB/GS is now selling the premium with a free warranty plan (1 year) and free Call of Duty 2 GOYE.

P.S. I tried to apply the coupon to the XBox and it will not take the discount!

But Amped who provided a link to the coupon said that Video game hardware is not excluded.
So has anyone used this coupon in CC to buy an Xbox 360 and got the $40 off.

Found out about the coupon at cag.com

People that posted who used the coupon were able to get a 360, PSP, silver PS2, and the 360 HD-DVD player.

Personally I haven't tried it yet (was going to try it on the Wii), but I'm just going to buy an mp3 player instead for the gf. CC offers the option for calling in an order, so I may try that route.

It must be one of those things they're not supposed to honor, but you may get it anyway if the clerk doesn't know.
