Fuck it, I just bought a 360.

With the news of the PS3 not offering 1080i support and all the shenanigans regarding games and whatnot, I said fuck it and bought a 360. Future Shop (Best Buy Canada) had a promo on today where you got $50.00 off the premium bundle with Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare and XBOX Live Arcade, and threw in Gears of War and a 3-month XBOX Live 360 subscription card. (on top of the free months included with the bundle)

Fantastic deal, and these bundles were FLYING off the shelf. They sold 8 more bundles in the 15 minutes I was standing there waiting to be rung in. I think Sony fucked up big time with the pitiful supply of hardware they have available for launch. It seems every major retailer in Canada has a "one day only" 360 promo on today... think how many 360's were sold to people frustrated at not getting a PS3.

BTW, I have a PS3 on it's way for Monday via courier (from a pre-order), and plan on selling through eBay.

 

[Wendi wooo]

That is a killer deal, just to understand you got the 360 Premium + GRAW + Xbox Live Arcade (Unplugged???) + GoW + 3 mos. of Live for $50 less than a normal premium?

That is insane

I thought he got the 360 + GRAW + XLA for the bundle, then he added in GoW and Live for the hell of it. at least that's how I read it.

My local store subbed the 3-mo Live 360 subscription for Ridge Racer as they had none left in stock. (shame, as it's such a fucking shitty game anyways. )

 

[hks_sugar]

got it as well:
????????????XBOX 360 Pro Holiday Bundle with GRAW, Arcade, Ridge Racer 6 and Wireless Gamepad Controller package

 

[I.G. from the 323]

The prices listed are Canadian dollars BTW. $499.99 is the regular price for the Premium pack.

 

[cccc]

I couldn't decide whether to get GoW or the free controller. The recent GoW commercials swayed me over.

 

[R.C.]

That's seriously nuts, I think the best combo down here is maybe getting a copy of GRAW thrown in

 

[Boom! CumShot!]

Man that sounds like a pretty good deal - congrats and enjoy.

 

[Go-mez or Go home]

Key thing is, they sold 1000+ of these bundles online today alone. And god knows how many in store.

 

[Lilly Lavendar Harris]

I know Best buy was handing out vouchers for 360 bundles to all the people waiting in line who didn't get a PS3, and from what I saw that was like 30-40 people per store, not sure how many actually bought a 360 though.

 

[neverusethis]

I'll have to buy that.

 

[IDK LOLZ]

Or you could flash your drive and just download/burn it.

[Iakovos]

the other deal is you buy the 2 game Xbox 360 bundle, Future Shop will throw in another 2 games + a HD DVD player for like 700

not bad i say

 

[DrummaBOIIIII]

GoW is well worth it. This game is AMAZING.
