The Official Xbox DEALS discussion thread. DEALS ONLY! - Page 117

What's up with the super-shady links today, Sublime?

Handing out your cell number to get "free" digital crap is simply begging to be added to marketing call lists. 15 calls a day asking you to buy aluminum siding is not worth a $1 avatar costume.

I've never had marketing calls to my cell. and if you're worried about your cell, there are plenty of ways around that.

If you're curious, this freebie comes from McDonald's.

For cheap MSFT points, buy from this guy:

http://www.ecrater.com/p/14604339/microsoft-xbox-live-4000-point-codes?keywords=4000+xbox+points

I bought from him a few months ago and got my code within 5 hours of ordering. Great feedback too.

thanks! but I have my points and cheaper too. also, I read that you can't redeem more than 10000 points in a day anyway (security feature). 5 hours? yikes. that would make me nervous.

it's not a great sale (only 25% off) but it's a rare sale so if you want Crysis for the Xbox, it's available for $15 now (games on demand of course).

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Crysis/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80245410968?cid=SLink

Now I'm seriously tempted, even without any online features.

It was great for $20.

Cabela's Big Game Hunter: Hunting Party – Kinect™ for Xbox 360® $19.99 (normally $79.99)

Here's a good deal if you ever wanted to play a "light gun" game that uses some Kinect gameplay as well. It comes with the shotgun and the Kinect game. Fun times!



I haven't used the Kinect gun or game but read good things about it on a Kinect forum.

there's some free DLC available for this game which gives you more gameplay:

here's a review from a friend:

Walmart has a decent deal where if you buy Transformers: Fall of Cybertron you get a a free download of the previous game War For Cybertron.

More love for leon 64 and his ecrater/ebay. Emailed him to see if he had 12 month cards. Got back to me in 10 mins, had the code and entered it 15 mins after I paid 39.99. I will continue to buy from him.

if you didn't want to use your cell for the McDonald's giveaway in post 3478 (for the Minecraft Xbox avatar cow head and pig head), you can now get it via email:

https://www.drpeppergametime.com/

You can email them twice (per email address) to get both masks.

Newegg - $12 off any preorders $49.99 and up (expires 08/23/12)

Use promo code EMCNBHJ256

You can imagine saving a lot of money if you buy multiple titles.

However, you have to make separate orders. Per order, you have a max of $12 off.

*Not Valid on open ox or refurbished items. Up to a maximum discount of $12.00 PER ORDER. No minimum purchase required; promo codes may only be used ONCE PER ORDER but can be used multiple times per account and cannot be combined with other promo codes or combo discounts. Only available while funds last. Promo code expires on 8/23/2012 or sooner based on fund availability.

Of course, there's the biggies like Halo 4, Borderlands 2, Resident Evil 6, etc.

But for the lesser advertised titles, like Kinect titles, I collated the upcoming Kinect games that qualify:

They sent me a $10 off all pre-orders a week or 2 ago and then I got that one earlier this week. Had to re-pre-order my 2 games again.

That works on all system pre-orders by the way. Got a nice pre-order for Borderlands 2 on PC, $49 at newegg versus $60 from steam and amazon. Plus the extra $12 off.

I was a little confused whether he ships via email or through the mail. I ordered but waiting for a reply from him.

Edit- nevermind, got my code via email and put it through already. Thanks.

TRU has a 2 for $60 deal until the 8th of Sept. (select games)

http://www.toysrus.com/searchHandler/index.jsp?type=trigger&promoId=13374859&view=all

Games list:
Sleeping Dogs
Darksiders 2
Max Payne 3
Prototype 2
Batman Arkham City
Battlefield 3
Modern Warfare 3
Mass Effect 3
The amazing Spiderman
NCAA Football 13

I wanted Sleeping dogs and Darksiders 2, most TRU in my area are sold of of SD so I went over to Best Buy and used the price match for the same deal

What a perfectly rational conclusion to jump to.

proof is in the pudding. but no worries. you were excited about Borderlands 2!

Crysis is $9.99 on the Xbox this week.

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Crysis/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80245410968

XBLA Deal of the Week includes the X-Men Arcade game (which I think we all pumped some quarters into long ago) for $5 and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for $7.50. http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Promotion/dealoftheweek

New Egg has a couple of deals.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow $9.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874149032

Max Payne 3: $24.99

Looking for any deals on a new or used 60 or 120 gb hard drive for my non slim 360... Help a brother out? lol

wait for the hard drive sales at Gamestop. there were 3 of them last year. I got a 250GB refurbished for $30. Got a 120 GB refurbished for $20.

Yeah, I am kicking myself for not jumping on the last sale they had. I think it was back in June if I remember correctly.

"How to hack a 250gb or 320gb SATA drive to work in the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Slim"

http://digiex.net/guides-reviews/console-guides/xbox-360-guides/3152-how-hack-250gb-320gb-sata-drive-work-xbox-360-xbox-360-slim.html

Worked for me. Bought a 320 GB drive off Ebay for $35 and a HDD Caddy case shell for $4.50.

There is a large Activision sale on the Marketplace. The highlight for me is Transformers: War for Cybertron for $9.99. The full list is linked below.

http://oneofswords.com/2012/10/massive-activision-sale-on-xbox-live-marketplace/

Nice. Last time my HDD died, the floods in Thailand had just happened, and it was actually cheaper to buy the MS drive than make your own....glad to see prices are back to reality.

I had a Scorpio blue in my slim for a year...before it died.

Ha, that's why I never by WD drives. Every single WD drive I've ever owned have died early.
