Title: XBox 360 -$100 Post by: Viin on December 05, 2006, 10:52:41 AM I don't know if this is in another thread or not, but I just found out that MicroCenter is offering a $100 rebate on Xbox 360's (both the core and the premium).
You can find the rebate here: http://www.microcenter.com/rebates/rebate_list.phtml?sku=892778 They aren't showing stock/availability online, so you have to call your local store. My store has 400 premiums and 50 cores, so it seems they have a lot. A 360 Premium for $300? Hmmm. Title: Re: XBox 360 -$100 Post by: Yegolev on December 05, 2006, 11:12:10 AM Nice find.

Title: Re: XBox 360 -$100 Post by: Viin on December 05, 2006, 02:10:23 PM I can mail anyone a 360 if they want one. The premium weighs maybe 15lbs with the hard drive, so I donno what that translates to for UPS.
If you are serious, I take paypal. :) Title: Re: XBox 360 -$100 Post by: CmdrSlack on December 05, 2006, 02:17:25 PM Except if you don't live near one of those limited number of locations. Something like 19 nationwide? I think I know of two in my area. But yeah, I've never been inside one either. Title: Re: XBox 360 -$100 Post by: vex on December 05, 2006, 05:46:38 PM That's an awesome deal and there is one in Fairfax. Too bad I just bought one on Overstock.com but I still got $50 off so I can't complain and it is for the kids after all. No really it is.

Title: Re: XBox 360 -$100 Post by: Murgos on December 05, 2006, 07:40:57 PM Good timing. I was thinking of picking up a 360 this weekend as it was. This just sweetens the deal.
Title: Re: XBox 360 -$100 Post by: Viin on December 05, 2006, 08:00:21 PM FYI, my experience:
Gamestop: $399 for Premium, free game (Call of Duty 2), free 1 year replacement plan Microcenter: $399 for Premium, -$100 mail-in rebate, $60 Gears of War (no free game), no replacement plan (wants $50 for 1 year) So really, if you didn't want Call of Duty 2 (360) then the rebate is the way to go. But since I didn't have a game to give with the system, I ended up spending $60 on a new game cutting my "savings" down to $40 - and no replacement plan. Title: Re: XBox 360 -$100 Post by: schild on December 05, 2006, 08:02:28 PM Gamestop doesn't give a free replacement plan. What?
Title: Re: XBox 360 -$100 Post by: Viin on December 05, 2006, 08:05:12 PM They gave me one with my 360 purchase.
Title: Re: XBox 360 -$100 Post by: Strazos on December 05, 2006, 08:06:01 PM It was a Black Friday thing.
EDIT; I think it's normally $60 on the 360. Title: Re: XBox 360 -$100 Post by: Viin on December 05, 2006, 08:06:26 PM I bought it.. hmm, Sunday? So they were doing it then. Not sure they are doing it now.
Title: Re: XBox 360 -$100 Post by: Strazos on December 05, 2006, 08:09:28 PM This past Sunday? I thought it was only for Black Friday, and maybe that weekend. Though, I haven't handled any 360 sales as of late, so I don't know for sure. It just hasn't come up. Maybe it was just something that store or district was doing? As far as I know, the PRP/CoD2 thing was only on Black Friday in my store.
