Jason0626 10-12-07, 10:07 AM thats one hell of a deal
FrankJ.Cone 10-12-07, 10:10 AM Omg!
gpthree 10-12-07, 10:11 AM I have never thought of owning more than 1 of a particular console until now.....thats incredible.
hoodoodj 10-12-07, 10:12 AM I just called them and they can not confirm it has HDMI..
Jason0626 10-12-07, 10:13 AM I just called them and they can not confirm it has HDMI..
that was my question
FrankJ.Cone 10-12-07, 10:15 AM Thats an XBox 360 Pro for $130.
OMG X2!
jkoch6599 10-12-07, 10:17 AM How much do you think I could sell the 5 games for?
scottro 10-12-07, 10:23 AM For that price...who cares if it has HDMI.
FrankJ.Cone 10-12-07, 10:26 AM Scottro I just read your sig for the first time and thats HYSTERICAL. Not to mention 100% accurate :)
I was under the impression (Not sure where I got this impression...) that all of the holiday bundle units would be HDMI.
Ok rolled the dice on HDMI:

If its HDMI my nephew gets a used 360 and 4 games (I never picked up Bioshock) and I put the HDMI unit on my new HDMI reciever I am buying for the HT today, if its not HDMI he gets a new 360 and 4 games.
that's insane. i agree. even if it is an older model sans HDMI & that quickly RRoD's... you'd still be making out like a bandit at that price.
Daekwan 10-12-07, 10:37 AM **** I might buy this myself just for the games. Figure out what to do with the xbox later. Let me ask around see if any of my friends are interested in the console.
mboojigga 10-12-07, 10:43 AM I was just about to buy an Elite last night. HMMMMMM
Well, Ive been mulling buying a 360 for about a month now........the mulling is over! Could not pass up this deal. They could not confirm HDMI but recommended an HDMI cable with purchase for $50. Would seem kinda dumb to offer cable with purchase if it is an HDMIless 360?
the link says the games (Forza & Marvel) are included with the hardware. shouldn't this all but confirm HDMI? microsoft just recently created that boxed combo... so shouldn't all signs point towards the latest hardware revision??
simonNYC 10-12-07, 10:54 AM Forza and Marvel looks to be bundled in with the XBox which means these are the HDMI-enabled boxes.
scottro 10-12-07, 10:56 AM Frank, do you want to be MY uncle?
I hope my brother wants a 360 for Xmas cuz it looks like he's getting one...

is there an echo in here ;)
Jason0626 10-12-07, 10:59 AM they changed the website to say includes hdmi output
FrankJ.Cone 10-12-07, 11:00 AM This is a shocking bundle. I am half holding my breath here expecting an e-mail saying "We are sorry but due to a website error we have canceled your order".
I mean who packs in two of the most anticipated titles of the season (Bioshock and Orange Box) in with a system for this kind of money!
scottro 10-12-07, 11:03 AM The page now confirms it has HDMI.
Edit: Whoops, there's that echo again. :o
Great deal. I picked up a second unit. I'll sell off most of the games. Been considering a second unit for a couple months now.
My brother found a great deal in the UK today as well at Blockbuster. Prem 360 w/ Halo 3, Fifa 08, and PGR 4 for GBP 299.99. Just the 360 alone over there retails for GBP 249.99.
SoundsGood 10-12-07, 11:15 AM I'm not sure my wife will let our 4 1/2 son play most of these games.
How easily do you guys think these games can be sold, and for how much?
Thanks.

We sell off many of our games on Craigslist. A newish game is usually $40, less for the older stuff.

I've set up some good trades on craigslist, too. Older titles for other older titles.

Trades only work if you have the self control to not buy all the good games in the first place :) (We have at least 15 unplayed/unfinished games!)
True dat. I know exactly what you mean.
SoundsGood 10-12-07, 11:26 AM Will other "Holiday Deals" be coming out as well?
Or is this deal THE one to grab??
EDIT: Just one last question before I pull the trigger... ;)
Are these games in separate cases (that can be sold individually) or do ya think they're bundled together on one or two disks?
Damn..... this forum is hurting my bank account, just when I thought it was ok not to have a 360, a deal like this comes alone. I figure it will only cost me around $200 bones total once I sell off the games and controller(have a black one for PC). What are the chance these premiums are from Lot 734 or greater? I was going to wait for the Falcon, but price like this u just can't pass up. Its only for 3 days as well, was told it was for a PGA tour event or something like that, not a holiday.
I wouldn't expect anything to beat this deal, Bioshock and Orange Box are 120 retail, don't kid yourself that something will come out better during the holidays.

There are bound to be more deals. But I seriously doubt it will get better than 3 bonus games (in their own cases) as well as the Forza/MUA (In one case) packin.
gpthree 10-12-07, 11:51 AM Add to cart and its now saying item is unavailable.

Figures. I was less than a minute away from clicking on it.
styxx_78 10-12-07, 12:00 PM same here.
JonDotCom 10-12-07, 12:22 PM No worries... all of these games will be available for $10-20 each in a few months anyhow. Bioshock will warp your mind anyway ;)

Link is not working...
dragonyeuw 10-12-07, 04:12 PM wow that's an awesome deal
Considering that the bundle (with Marvel and Forza) is $349, Then you are getting the other 3 games for $50 which is a great deal. Hopefully those that ordered it will get the deal.
Evangelo2 10-12-07, 04:35 PM I cant find this deal on Fry's sight anymore. Anyone have a link?

Look above.
They were cleaned out in a couple hours after the link appeared here.
You had to know that deal wouldn't last long.
I ordered as soon as I saw the message posted here. Have also received an email confirmation from frys. Was a great deal. I had a hard time believing it at first.
FrankJ.Cone 10-12-07, 09:56 PM Took almost 8 hours to get my confimation e-mail, I was getting worried.
Two games for $349.99 is a fantastic deal but hopefully there will be more truly insane ones like this for the holiday season. It sure as heck seems to move units FAST!
I can confirm that Bioshock and Orange Box are absolutely incredible games. I never played the other 3.
For those that got in on the deal... you will enjoy.
Only thing left to buy is Halo 3, Mass Effect, Assassins Creed.... and so on and on and on.
SoundsGood 10-13-07, 02:03 PM I ordered as soon as I saw the message posted here.
Smart. I should have done that as well.
jasonstiller 10-13-07, 02:14 PM So is the deal over cause all you jumped on it so quick? ha ha, Lucky bastards, I gotta ask my wife 1st ha ha
Darn, I was thinking about getting a second 360! I hope this comes back.
dmaul1114 10-13-07, 08:44 PM I got in on it yesterday, and mine has already shipped and is on it's way. Should have it Monday or Tuesday.
Will be nice to finally have some HD gaming...Wii is a bit rough on the new HDTV I got in June.
Jw_Wood 10-13-07, 09:28 PM $349
Xbox 360 Pro HDMI Bundle w Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and Forza 2
Maybe you've seen it but thought I would throw it out here anyway.
http://www.pcconnection.com/ProductDetail?sku=8060497&oext=1038A&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=8060497
dmaul1114 10-13-07, 10:03 PM Yeah, those bundles should be pretty much everywhere now (or soon). This was just a great deal as you got that, and for $50 you got 3 $60 games, two of which are AAA games among the best on the system.
Jw_Wood 10-13-07, 10:24 PM I'm usually a day late and a $ short...wish I could of gotten that dea. Just hope one like it surfaces again
cwalker3 10-16-07, 10:29 AM I ordered this on Friday and got it on Monday. What a deal!
The kicker is that I'm almost positive it's a Falcom (65nm). There are no heat pipes in there, and the heatsink is all silver. It's super quiet as well (this is my second 360 - good thing I play loud with my first unit).
dmaul1114 10-16-07, 10:44 AM Yep, got mine yesterday as well (and played Bioshock until 2 a.m. :D).
Mines pretty loud. Not the disc drive, just the fans are pretty noisy.
Jason0626 10-16-07, 10:53 AM hope they do something similar to this deal again
