    So is the XBOX 360 for $299 price drop true

    Discuss ...

    I've seen it on the Micro Center website starting tomorrow but I also saw an ad that said this deal should be available at all retail outlets.

    Anybody know

    I believe the Core is already $299. $299 for the premium, though, would be sweet.

        Do you have any more details about this?

        Are you referring to the MicroCenter deal, or another store?

        I am familiar with the MicroCenter deal, but was wondering if there would be a Microsoft-driven price drop, or if it is strictly going to be a retailer-specific thing?

        Also, if anyone knows of major retailers that are selling a premium for $299 on Black Friday, it would be great of you to share the info!

          It's retailer specific.

          If you want to know when a place has an XBox 360 on sale, go to the forums at www.cheapassgamer.com.

          Edit: Oh, and I'm not mocking you. That's a real site...

            Has anyone seen the price drop at any of the retail stores they've been to while shopping today?

              The Micro Center rebate is good for purchases made before 12/3

                Edit: Nevermind, found it. Guess it's you can only get it at Microcenter stores (the whole handful of them).

                    Apparently theres one in chicago, but I kinda wanted the X-Mas bundle that has the 100 dollar price drop AND the free game. Any truth to that one?

                      Ok, from what I'm hearing now (from cheapassgamer.com), the Microcenter deal gives you the 100 dollar mail-in rebate. However, if you apply for their credit card, and buy the 360 (premium) you get reward points that can either be saved or exchanged for 100 dollars cash back. So essentially, you would leave the store paying the full $399, BUT you'd get $200 back in the mail (100 from the mail in rebate, 100 from the credit card). I'm REALLY strapped for cash, but this deal seems too good to pass up! Essentially you get the premium system for $199 (plus tax)... this deal is as good as the amazon core for 100 deal (except you gotta wait for the rebates). It's an in-store only deal, but lucky for me, there is a Microcenter in Chicago. I'll be swaying back and forth on whether or not to get this deal, but I gotta decide soon because the MIR offer ends the third.
