Maxwell Smart

wonder how much a brand new arcade unit goes for on ebay?

Maxwell Smart

says giftcard is for use online only, that's lame.

superdeluxe

Whats the issue? just make it in-store pick up.?

Maxwell Smart

well say u wanted to use the gift card on groceries, that would be an issue.

pinata242

Then buy it in store and not on Wal-Mart.com?

Maxwell Smart

That's what I'm saying, under the terms is says the giftcard is for use online only.

pinata242

You're looking at walmart.com, though. Do you really think the one they give you in store is online only?

Damn! At only $100 I bet a lot of people are getting or giving a 360 for Christmas. I'll get my brother and his wife a 360 and look like I spent a lot more than I actually did!

Maxwell Smart

I woudn't think so either, but...

the ad says in-store specials, so I'm assuming u only get the gift card if u buy it at the store, but it says this

Includes a Bonus* $100 eGift Card
*One (1) per customer, limited time offer while supplies last, online only gift card.

pinata242

Well, if it does turn out to be online only, I'll just have to use it on something other than groceries like I was intending. Not a huge deal, but I can see how it would be a deal-breaker to some. Even if you just get a couple of games or accessories. Year of live, some XBLM points, wireless controller, whatever.

I'm worried about in store availability. My store only has maybe 1 or 2 arcade units on any given day. I wonder if they plan to bring in a large supply for this sale. I don't want to have to stand in some line only to find out they were sold out in 10 seconds.

Minimum 10 per store.

You should probably be there right when they go on sale, if not earlier.

Wolf359

I wouldn't even wait. Buy now and get it fixed later.

edstein

How easy is that process? If I buy today will they give me the $100 gift card on Saturday?

I wonder if BB will price match this deal?

pinata242

I would buy one now. Go back at 8am (or as close to it as possible) and try to get the deal legit. Three possibilities:

1) You get the deal and have 2 Xboxes, return the first one. You just wasted an extra trip on insurance.

2) You don't get the deal, but have the first Xbox. Return it and rebuy it at Customer Service. You might be able to talk your way into a $100 gift card without that process, but return/rebuy is worst case.

3) All of the above fail and you simply return the one you pre-bought and walk away.

If you are doing that, run, right now, to your closest store, they are showing OOS all around the place here.

You can check online for availability in your closest stores.

^ They may be pulling stock for the Saturday sale too.

Raul3

Yeah.

edstein

All of the stores in my area currently have stock.

My main reasons for getting one of these is HDMI and quieter fan noise. I haven't decided if I'll keep my old unit or not. Do you need the hard drive for Netflix?

superdeluxe

I would bet they would have 1-4 units, I would hide them in a washer or something.

superdeluxe

In stock in every wal-mart around me.

Not sure what I would do with a new xbox tho....Interested in that laptop tho.

funkyryno

Sell on eBay and keep the gift card?

Groucho

It's going to be a madhouse. I may go just to watch the fireworks when they run out.
