score 1 for maynard

[Maynard]

some of you may know that my launch 360 died and i picked up an arcade model for 200 (minus 40 in trade for the old console). I been wanting a new hdd but dont want to spend 150 for a new 120 and i dont want to pay 400 for an elite console.

well today i was at walmart looking at the elites just to try and influance myself one way or the other. I see the elite with 2 free games, pure and lego batman. I notice the price at 299, but it just didnt compute and i was thinking i wont spend another 200 for what would eqaute to a 120 hdd. I know i wont touch those games so the only benefit to the elite is the 120 hdd and for 200 buck i wasnt about to do that so i left.

guys i know from my shooter clan have been borrowing my hdd transfer cable over the past few months. I have shipped this thing around to like 4 guys i got to know online. Well another guy wants to use the cable so he posts on the forum. I replu and tell him to email his address but to make sure he sends it back quickly because i am shopping for a new hdd myself. He replies and tells me about the 299 elite he just got with 2 free games AND a $50 gift card.

I start to reply and say how i saw the same deal today but passed because i wasnt about to pay anothe 200 for just the hdd.........then i dawned on me. The elite is 299, NOT 399 you fucking retard. I would get the elite for only $100 more rather then $200 more as i first thought.

So its about 945 pm and i call the walmart to see if they have the system. Keep in mind i have to return my arcade to walmart cause that where i got it from. They are all out. I finally call a store that has 4 of them and now i am off.

i get there and get my cash for the return, get the new elite.....get to the cash register and pay....the girl then says, you also get a $50 gift card. I totally forgot about that and was like HEE FUCKING HAW!~

so at the end of the day i now have a 120 gig elite console and Pure and Lego Batman all for $250.....well, $210 if you remember the $40 trade i got for the old system......

oh, and i also remembered what a moron i am

 

[Maynard]

What could you possibly use a 120gb HD for.

Good deal for sure, I even looked at it myself when I was buying my first 360 this past week. But I passed since I had no interest in those games.

Welcome to Novemeber 2009.

every deal i saw had the console for $400 still. I didnt know about this deal till today.

.

just to have the space. Installed games and demos. nothing else really

 

[dave]

I want the 120-gig (or possibly the 250-gig) so I can install all my games to the hard drive.
Games in my 360 running off the disc drive are loud and annoying.
Off the hard drive, they're as quiet as the ps3.

It's been $300 ever since Sony released the slim at $300. MS had no choice. Their console was already inferior (you need batteries or an optional charge kit for the controllers, no wi-fi, no bluray, etc.) so they had to at least match the price.

It's been like that since the end of August/early September.

The two free games thing was a holiday bundle.

The fact that it's $300 seems at least $50 too much to me actually.

 

[tigstah]

that was a good deal. now i want one.

that only matters if u know and since i wasnt looking i didnt know. If you count the gift card its only $250....but if it was free i am certain u would complain

 

[Twigg4075]

Umm, no. The gift card is for a future purchase. And yeah, I would.:rolleyes1:

 

[Maynard]

so what if its for future purchases, they still give you 50 bucks for free. Yeah u have to use it at walmart, but its still free money, and you are still complaining about it

 

[Goober]

Damn dude why are you writing all this, you should be playing Lego Batman.

WTF is your problem?!? I'm not complaining about anything. I'm pointing out that what you said was inaccurate. You clearly said "If you count the gift card it's only $250" which is WRONG.

And before that I, like several others, pointed out that this isn't a "deal", it's been that price for months. Just because you were ignorant to it doesn't make it a "deal".

You are one moody dude. When is the last time you got some?

lmao at moody. Im not the one arguing about specifics of them providing a free $50 gift card

If you count the gift card, which is them giving u back free money, then its $250 bucks. No, u cant apply the gift card right then and there, but so what. Its not like you cant go back the next day and use the FREE $50 card and buy some other items that you would have bought without the FREE $50 card. Sorry i wasnt more specific in my explanation.

Most people were probably not Mis Led by my explanation because most people would know that if they are giving u a gift card with a purchase, that u would have to use it at a later date.

i mean who hasnt been to McDonalds and won a free soft drink. Its not like they allow you to use it with that purchase. I guess next time i should dumb it down for people who might be Mis Led by the usage of a free $50 gift card that cant be used right then and there but may be used on your very next purchase. I should also mention the tax, which is different for your area because i dont want to Mis Lead anyone into thinking i was tax exempt on the DEAL

and when you use the word deal you are using it like i am saying i got some sweet weekend deal or something. I just said deal.....regardless of when this deal arrived, its still a deal. So dont assume you understand my meaning. Its pretty obvious that your just a bitter, cheap, communist game player who thinks everything should cater to your opinions.

 

btw, the last time i got some was when i hooked up with a married cop who likes it in the ass.

The $50 gift card is definitely a sweet bonus. What I was referring to was how you seemed like the $300 price itself was something new. And to let you know why Wal-mart and MANY other retailers are offering $50 gift cards is because the rumor is that MS is going to be releasing a 360 with a 250 GB HDD (not just the MW2 version) which will be the new Elites and they want the stores to clear out all their old stock.

I'm cheap? Dude, I won almost 400 games, not including downloaded ones. Yeah, I'm a fucking cheap sonuvabitch.

Are you implying you had sex with me? I don't remember such a thing and I'm not into that gay shit (not that there's anything wrong with that) but either way I guess you're finally coming out of the closet? Congrats.

Now you should take Lego: Batman and Pure to another Walmart and tell them that your nephew already has these two games but lost the gift receipt, and they will give you a full price refund for both. That should be another $40 for free, which will bring the amount you paid down to $170 IIRC.

But shouldn't those games have the "Not for Resale" and no barcode on the back? You can't even return those at Wal-mart.
