And you don't have to worry about getting banned of XBL too! No HDD, no modding!

I might pick this up for my nephews, at almost 9 years of age (the oldest) bout time they left the Wii behind and became men! Next Gen on the cheap, you can't beat that!

Rail, my little brother and nephews saved up to buy themselves a 360 and havent touched thier Wii since.. They are 7, 8 and 9 and even they know Nintendo has forsaken the gamers :thumbsup:

Even little ones know good gaming when they see it. :gamer ;)

this is a awesome deal. im picking one up to put in another room and move my HDD back and forth from the living room to the bed room for when the kids have control over the Living room TV.

Nice..the rumored deal will be in next sunday's ad? The link is blocked @ work... I wonder if BB will price match the GC?

try this link: http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/11/03/rumor-walmart-selling-199-xbox-360-with-100-gift-card-on-saturday/

i think its rumored for this Saturday.

Quick question . . I would love to pick up an extra xbox, if only to use it as a media extender (running a home network, with a PC as my tv tuner, DVR, DVD library etc).

Does anyone have experience using multiple XBOXs as media extenders?

I probably should consider this, I fear mine is going to RRoD on me again at the worst possible time. How pathetic is it that many of us feel the need to have a back-up console do to the poor reliability of the hardware?

At least take to heart it's so cheap now! It's the economist's Console of choice! (Just don't add the multiple purchases :D)

I think I might buy two and mod one. I don't play online anyways why do I give a flying squirrel if I get banned.

MW2 has brought me back to piracy! ZOMG!!!!

So if I do this and let my wife use the gift card on groceries or whatever, it's pretty much like I got a free 360? Good way to spin it.

Best Buy SHOULD price match this according to there policy on price matching.

I have price matched GC before but I had to tell, and show the manager of the store their own policy.

As long as it is in stock at the local store of the price match, then it should be done.

I printed out a copy of thier policy online. 10 minutes later, and a little persistance, they agreed.

What I guessing from the incredibly great prices on all the equipment listed, this is going to be part of the Walmart Black Friday trample freak show. So doubt the price match gig applies there... But wish it did.

I dunno.. With the state of the economy, high unemployment, low consumer confidence, etc, stores are having sells before black friday to get consumers in the mood to recklessly spend more money and put themselves in more debt…

Walmart’s fiscal year starts on February 1st, so 41 weeks into it would be this up coming Saturday.

If true and easily available, will buy another Arcade.

Hmm, TV's $300 off there already very low price, laptop models not released yet for $289 and a Sony Blue Ray player $50 off as well. Smells like Black Friday to me. But I hope your rite and it is just another Walmart weekend sale without the trample fest. I will be all over it.

May be a return of the secret sales from 2 years ago leading up to black friday.

isnt the arcade being fazed out? this may have something to do with overstock or prep for a better version?

I believe it was the Pro that was in the process of being fazed out.

I don't see Microsoft removing the Arcade from their line up. There is no need to.

People buy it cuz its cheap, Microsoft wins.
People get gouged upgrading it, Microsoft wins again.

They should remove the Elite and only sell White and Black Arcades! :lol:

Its legit. Web site is already sold out.

Yep. Man that is 1 sweet pre Black Friday sale. They had the Sharp LC52SB57UN 52'' LCD onsale for $888 and the 42'' for $498.:bowdown: But sold out bigtime too.:crying:

I don't see the Panny plasma or Hp laptop anyplace yet though.:what:

Any idea if that Laptop is worth a crap?

I am going to need a new computer within the next year.

For $298 it looks very good.. 15.6 inch screen, 250 GB hard drive, 3 Gig of DDR2 ram, LiteScribe DVD burner and Windows 7 premium. Only issue is the Celoron CPU. I hate Celorons for the most part, but the 900 series at 2.2 ghz and 1 MB of cache is pretty good for a Celeron (non dual core). But again, for only $298 it is a slam dunk if e-net and wp use is the major function.

Features of the HP 15.6" Pavilion G60-519WM Entertainment Laptop PC include Intel Celeron Processor 900 at 2.2GHz, 3GB DDR2 RAM, 250GB SATA HDD at 7200rpm, 15.6-inch BrightView display with 1,366x768px resolution, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M (shared) with up to 1309MB of total available graphics memory, LightScribe SuperMulti DVD optical drive with double-layer support, Wifi, mode, and 6-cell battery.
The HP G60-519WM runs Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit edition.

Since Windows 7 is not as hardware hungry, the HP G60-519WM might be performing well enough for web surfing, emailing and some office work. If you just need a notebook for basic tasks the price of $298 is a bargain price for a Windows 7 notebook at the moment.

Just basic surfing for now. Picture/Music management as well.

I may want to upgade to something more powerful in the future. My old laptop is getting tight on memory and would rather spend $300 on a new laptop instead of buying an external HDD for my 5 year old Dell.

starts at 8:00 AM this Saturday.

Funny I just saw the ad on TV mentioning the deal, while watching 60 Minutes a few minutes ago. Most walmart stores sold our of arcades within a few hours of opening saturday... :error

My bro successfully got an Arcade at his local Wal-mart, said they had at least 30 more units on the floor, and things didn't seem any busier than usual.

I decided to pass, if I am going to spend anything on a console it will be a PS3. Despite the good deal, it kinda pisses me off to think that I need a backup for my current 360 because the hardware is shit from a reliability standpoint.

Heheh, wonder how many of those arcade buyers also picked up Forza 3 to go with it.

Could you have used this deal, kept the 360 in the packaging and then returned it a few weeks later and kept the GC??

If the walmart employee was dumb or forgetful...then yes ;)

Well that accounts for most doesn't it?

Doubt it, I'd have expected the receipt to say that a $100 giftcard had been issued.
