More Target Clearance
Just got back from my local Target. Picked up the GBA-GC link cable for $9.99 (normally $15), though I think that's an advertised price.
However, the big score for me was that they had the original Xbox Live Starters Kits for 50% off ($24.98). For any like me that have been waiting for a decent price before giving Live a shot, you may want to call around.

So does this mean that you have up until that date to activate?

Ummm....I may be a complete idiot here, but this deal may have just gotten a bit better.
I think that the Live Kit that I got for $25 is actually Live 2.0. Feel free to correct me if I'm off base, but my kit includes the full version of Tetris Worlds and demos of Moto GP and MechAssault. Plus, it's got a copyright date of 2003. Is this 2.0? Anybody?

Sijividen is there anyway you can scan your receipt? I would like to take your receipt to see if I could pricematch. I'll wait to open it up for a couple of days. Anyone got any must have first game for Live? Open to suggestions. Thanks...

Thanks, but a couple of clarifications:
I went to my local Target and they had 1 of each starter kits 1 & 2. They were both marked "Clearance" but were marked at $34.98 each and ring up for that. I picked up kit #2; I just bought one for $44.99 at BB last week now I don't know if I should PM or return. We'll see.
And Starter Kit #1 (demos of Moto GP and Whacked!, no Tetris) has a subscription expiration date of 10/31/03. It's Kit #2 that expires on 3/31/04. Since these are on clearance, I guess we'll see a new starter kit soon...

I went to 2 targets in my area, the Ypsilanti Michigan store had them for $34.98 and the Ann Arbor MIch store had them for $24.98. I got it at the ann arbor store.
as for the Experation date its my understanding that you have to start the subscription by that time to get the year.

YMMV but I asked if they matched clearance prices from another store a while back and the answer was no. This was specifically, on cleance merchandise.
My Target had the 1.0 version. What is the difference other than the expiration date. Seemed like a good deal since the new version that comes with the fll Mech Assualt game is listed at 69.99 at EB.
I have been waiting because I don't have a lot of time to get hooked on live. Crimson Skies is looking like fun though.

Since you can find Mechassault for $20 (at Blockbuster, and I've seen it for sale at that price elsewhere), yes it is a good deal.

Decker have you found ANYTHING at a Vegas Target worth the time? The ones in Rampart+Charleston, Cheyenne and Tenaya, and Centennial Pkwy have nothing each time I go

No games at all. I have a starter kit 2.0 I was going to return today (I showed it to the BB people with my receipt and got some $ back). You don't want this starter kit, do you?

How much?
I would be interested. The bad thing is that I have to change my username if I start a new account when mine expires, but if it comes with games and it's cheap...
Would you re-start your username? Better to pony up the $50 and keep GatorDeb huh?

Expired on December but I think I'll cough up the $50.
Have you gotten online yet? You are really getting on the XBOX train huh
BTW I replied in the Soul Calibur thread.
Targets around here suck, don't they?
