My store hasn't received any yet but I'm planning to get one as soon as they come in. I just sold my 60gb PS3 to a friend who's going to college and decided to wait until later this year to get a PS3 slim.
Yeah, the rumour of a Gamestop deal is out there. From what I've seen:
$100 for a 360
$40 for the wifi dongle
$25 per wireless controller
$60 per 60GB HD
though, that's what I read at another message board. It's tempting, except the HD. Unless they'll let me transfer all my stuff

Gamestop just dropped the price of the 360 again (used & new) so I would call GS tomorrow and check the trade in value. They do still have the special that will give you an extra $25 on the trade in value.

Its true. It starts Thursday according to the email from corporate. Also note the new wifi adapter is $50. I'm not sure how long the deal is running though.

you get 100 bucks for a 360 at Gamestop?
sssstt.... not sure I want...
Craigslist maybe?

That is tempting. I don't know if I can let go of my 360 though, we've been through so much together. I think I'm going to give it to my dad, he'll probably use it for Netflix(maybe Kinect). Then at least I know it's safe.:lolLonestar said:Yeah, the rumour of a Gamestop deal is out there. From what I've seen:

Ah I was hoping this would pop up. I have everything on that list, plus a few games and a 20 GB HDD to trade in. I'm sure I'm all set!
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I PUT MY NEW XBOX IN THE MICROWAVE FOR 2 HOURS THEN RUN IT OVER WITH A TRUCK?

Anyways, I look forward to GAF impressions on this new device this weekend. I should have one in before the weekend next week when I get payed, sorry to advocate it but gamestop has a deal where you get an extra $25 credit on hardware so I'll trade in my current 360 before that ends to get enough cash money for it. This is easily my favorite thing from the Microsoft conference. <3

Wait. That's the trade in value?

Seems so, there's apparently an email going out on the deal. This is what I had hoped wouldn't happen having bought from Amazon.
But, by my tally I could trade up for less than $100 by dumping all my white accessories with my 360 and that will be enough to get me to cancel my Amazon order and eat the sales tax.
And then only if they will have stock on Thursday or Friday when I trade in. I'll go by my local Gamestop tomorrow and verify both the deal and the in stock date.

Gamestop prices the different model 360s differently. Getting $100 for a launch style deathbox would be insanely good.
That deal in general looks nuts, they normally want box, controller, and HD for like $70.

Bluray spins significantly slower than the 12x 360 drive. The problem isn't one of design, but one of physics. The faster a disc rotates, the more force pushing outward. That force also is reistant to a change in attitude. Even if the insides of the 360s drive were made of soft materials, at 12x speed rotation the disk (7200 rpm) will leave the tray and scrape against the lense.

Does Gamestop take pre-HDMI 360s?

If you have a USB flash drive, I think that would definitely be the best way to transfer save files. That's what I'm doing.
I love the comments and suchiNvidious01 said:
"It wasn't like he was tossing it around"
Why would you move it in the first place.
And one commenter said they're worried about getting a new 360 because of this?
WHY? Because you may pick up your 360 and rotate it 90 degrees on accident while it's booting a game?

I own a MW2 edition 360 plus control to offer. How much would I get for that at GameStop?

Surprised they are doing this deal as I thought they just discounted used 360s, but I guess it is the real deal then confirmed above.

I dunno whether or not I'll go with the slim. I guess it depends on how onerous the extra PSU on Kinect is. It would be nice to have a quieter 360 though, because I do use it to watch HD channels streamed through Media Center and its noticeable when I'm watching at lower volumes.

I really have no need for this new 360, but IMO the best thing to come out of this, is the old 360's prices are dropping like a rock.
Walmart has the Arcade unit that comes with Viva Pinata and Banjo for $149 and it comes with a $50 gift card!! Bedroom 360 confirmed

Threi said:is the $100 for a 360 + a controller or just the 360 alone?
I have an arcade with a 20GB HDD and 256MB card that I wouldn't mind trading
But maybe before I say that I should ask does this apply to Canada as well?
Not sure. When the Elite launched in 2007, GameStop in the States did a deal similar to this. However there were no such deals for EB/GameStop Canada.
