Just curious..I have a bit of mad money, and I'd rather not spend 70 bucks for a Xbox Live kit. Does anyone know where I can get a good price? I've searched Froogle, and some come up with Version 1, Version 2, and Version 3. Besides the games inside, are there any other differences? I already have Mechassault, so I really don't need Version 3.

I'm interested in the Xbox Dance Dance Ultramix as well. Any good deals floating around?

Thanks!

I purchased the v3 started kit for 49.99 + Tax at circuitcity.com

Version 1 came with a few demos and had a code that was supposed to expire 10/31/03. Appently the code may still work, but I wouldn't risk it. Version 2 comes with the full version of Tetris Worlds and has a 1 yr subscription code that expires on 3/31/04. This is the version you should seek out if you can find it. V3 has a full mechassault game and the latest expiration date. As you know v1 and 2 had an MSRP of $49.99 and V3 is $69.99. We've seen deals in the past (target had them on clearance for $35 or even $25, but it's been a while). I was at Circuit City recently and they had the $50 subscription card for $34.99, but you'll need the headset as well, so that won't work for you. I'm sure if you looked long enough you could find a deal, but at very least, don't get V3. There are still V2 available
here at least.

I have the $10 off best buy coupon for version 2 that was originally posted here

http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=320717

looks like the link in that thread no longer leads to the coupon.

I can email it to you if you like, or if someone can host it...

Silly Burrito

Sniper, please email me the coupon. Thanks!

here's the link

note that this is the coupon that some people, including myself, had problems convincing the bb manager that it is not a "copy". if you need to, have them call corporate to get the ok.

i thought the live #2 kit was no longer valid though. anyone know?

Decker

It is valid until 3/31/04. I have a box here in my house. You very well might not find a kit in your local Best Buy since they've been discontinued and it's after the holiday rush. The website only lists V3.

Looks like young got it posted for you

Maybe circuitcity.com is the best deal, $15 off either the full kit or the 1 year renewal card. You could then sell or give away your extra Mechassault.

Edit, actually, it is $20 off the full kit, and free shipping. Full Live kit for 49.99

Silly Burrito

I have the coupon. Thanks!

Besides the games and the expiration dates, are there any other advantages between the versions? Improved headset or anything like that?

Decker

Nope. Only the expiration dates of the code.

Silly Burrito

Thanks for the coupon. I brought it by the Circuit City and asked if they'd pricematch it. They said sure, so I picked up the Version 3 kit for 39.99 plus tax. Now I don't need Mechassault, so I guess it's off to the trading booth for it!

If anyone wants it and has something else Xbox Live enabled, please let me know.

Trevor

I take this to mean that it is 49.99 in store also? Sweet!

Silly Burrito

Yeah, it was 49.99 in the store. The card by itself was 34.99, but since I didn't have a headset, I picked up the full thing.

Trevor

My local CC was out of the full kits, so I wasn't able to use the BB $10 coupon, so I bought the 12 month card for $29.99 after the BB GGC coupon.
