Supposedly the coupon scans fine if you buy a game so that's probably why the cashier "didn't blink on that one." I managed to snag just two point cards the other day. The coupon wouldn't take but the cashier didn't hesitate to manually take off $20.

^^^ is there a new coupon for target out there?

Girlfriend and I exchanged gifts early due to travel. She got me an Xbox Elite. :) About time I got one, since I already have 6 games for it. :lol:

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Here's the coupon for all those looking. Deal is this: buy any hardware and get a 1600 point card free. People report being able to buy games and still get the point card but that's YMMV. For the record, nobody has reported being able to buy a point card and get one free :(

Mods -- hope posting this link is ok. If not, please delete.

Wah, wah, wah. #5 just bit the dust on me tonight. :sad: Worst part? I'm on vacation this week. So what's the turnaround these days?

Can you get an Arcade given that it's an emergency case?

Just saying...

Wow, great deal. Thanks. :up:

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Ordered one for in store pick-up. Makes me good through 2/12 as well. Thanks.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

D'oh, nothing available in stores around me.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I hope you guys all know that they posted the wrong picture and you may have to convince the store to sell you the item in the picture.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I've never even seen that bundle in the store. Has anyone tried to price match this at the store yet?

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

If you can find one and if it is the correct item, don't forget to pick up a Sherlock Holmes kit with the free movie ticket.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

This is the wrong item BTW. Did anyone get what the picture showed up as? Cause the description didn't mention PGR4.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

That is probably a good idea, but picking up a online item at CS at this time of year is hell at Best Buy. I did it last week and it took about a half hour and nearly got in a fight with another guy in line by asking to speak with a manager. I wont order anything for in-store pick up again until Feb.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I went to the nearest store (it showed the item as available) and there was none around. It's gone from that page as well. I wonder if it was just a faulty link and they ment the messenger pad which is $29.99.

BTW: They put together some really shitty bundles at Best Buy. They manged to jack up a 360 bundle to over $600 by including three (!) extra controllers, the wireless adaptor, an HDMI cable and some crappy game. I feel really bad for the clueless folks who actually drop that sort of change on a game console for their grandkids because they don't know any better.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Bestbuy used the wrong picture. The sku on the page is for the messenger pad / headset combo. It looks like a lot of people were able to get their bestbuy to honor the mistake though. My store denied me.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I'm headed out there tomorrow to pick mine up. I couldn't make it out today. I'm sure my chances will be slimmer tomorrow.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Is the quick charge kit a good thing for the wireless controller?

how long does the battery keep a charge usually?

and will i see any indicator lights on the controller or XBOX to let me know the battery needs to be charged?

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Honestly you should go with universal recharchable batteries. I use the Energizer one that comes with a plug in charger. That way you're not tied to Proprietary batteries. Then you can use the batteries for the 360 and other systems that have wireless controllers.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

+1

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I use the Eneloop batteries from Sanyo. Those are excellent and last a long time even when not being used.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I would hope so.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Score! Nabbed that Live kit a bit ago. Held up the ten deep line while the CSR tried to figure ou what was up.

I use the MS batteries. It's nice popping them on and/or leaving them on the charger and not messing with AA's. I've never had a problem with battery life like others seem to have.
