Ok..ok..ok I see it now. You're just trying to get me to renew my online sub so I can become once again......"Master Hostage Killer"!!! (ask Martin). Better yet I'll take the "Fight Club" and "King of the Hill" mod in Midship and 12 players. Now that was a hoot. Yes I have to admit I'm a "Suck-at-it-Halo Player".

Looks like Costco.com has changed their Bundle. Now you get the premium console, extra wireless controller, universal remote, memory card, PGR3, and COD2 for $599.99

That is a good deal as well. About 20 bucks less than retail. But I guess shipping makes it about even.

Michael T Hudson 03-22-06 10:02 PM

Subtotal: $599.99
Shipping & Handling: $17.80
Tax: $50.97
Order Total: $668.76


Ouch. Can the forum lend me some money. :lol:

Costco B&M got their shipment in today and the one I went to still has a lot of the first mentioned bundle for $489 (premium, extra wireless controller, play&charge kit, PGR3)

I can't believe anyone would have ever guessed you as anything but the 90lb weakling that you are :D Honestly you let your sub run out just so you would finally have an excuse not to get your ass handed to you by me in *insert one of a billion game titles here* ;)

For real though I think of Nebraska Furniture Mart and the picture that comes to mind is some mom and pop furniture shop down the street that sells Lazy-Boy that just happened to think selling 360s would turn a quick profit. But I went to the website and the place does indeed look quite impressive.

Anyhow hopefully all of your 360 buying woes go away over the next few weeks..........

HURRY!

Well I'm in the midwest and I'll I've seen are cores. I saw one at Best Buy a few weeks ago and 2 at Wal-Mart last night. Who the hell wants a core?

Well you think that now, but just wait till you are stranded way past the Alpha quadrant and you have a breach. You would be ecstatic to have a core right then. -ohbfrank-

Did someone watch a little Star Trek: TNG lately? ;)

Joe can you post your credit card # so I can buy one at best buy. Thanks for your help. ;)

Phil_Mckrevis 03-23-06 11:25 AM

Sorry for over reacting, yeah the name is misleading and of course everyone thinks it's Indians and Cowboys in the midwest.

All the while there are several at some of the most inconspicuous places. For all I know the "Hew Haw Motel" (yes there is one) 10 miles away may have them.

That or craigslist.

Wow - what a rollercoaster ride it has been.

As my finger hovered over the "Checkout" button on the Best Buy website (thanks for the heads-up, btw) ...I hesitated. I couldn't bring myself to do it. Once it was there in front of me, I cracked like a little bitch. It just felt like too much money without the "must-buy" games to back it up.

Honestly, World of Warcraft has dominated my gaming time lately. And I'm trying to finish my home theater, which is going to take a nice chunk of change. But I'm definitely going to purchase a 360 for that theater, so I can wait a few months - I should be able to walk into any store and pick one up then, right? :)
