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.

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. 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...

Smokin deal from SD:

Messenger Kit for Xbox 360 (includes PGR4 and 12 months of XBL) for $30

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Microsof...=1186005358451

I just did instore pickup to avoid shipping cost. This takes me through 2012 for XBL.

Wow, great deal. Thanks.

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

D'oh, nothing available in stores around me.

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.

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

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.

Free 2010 Glass for you Avatar.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

I would hope so.

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.
