Bump!
I got my cash back cheque (from my Gold membership) so I'd prefer to get the XBox 360 from Costco...
Thanks,
Shneebs.

Costco Xbox 360 pricing?
Hello folks,
Does anyone know what the in-store price is for Xbox360 consoles? (Premium bundle preferred). The Costco online price is around $560 (including shipping) for the premium with two wireless controllers, but the same can be had at Dell.ca for about $500 including shipping. It seems as if Costco hasn't updated their pricing... I don't live near enough to a Costco to check out the pricing instore... Does anyone know what the in-store pricing is on console bundles?
Thanks in advance,
Shneebs.Last edited by shneebs; Nov 21st, 2006 at 10:39 PM.

Does anyone know where 360 is currently the cheapest for the premium bundle? Anyone caught wind of any Boxing Day sales?

I'd say bestbuy, at 500$ - 30$ off (amex coupon, 30$ off 300$) and you get GoW for free along with some other stuff.

...or a slightly crappier deal: Dell.ca has the premium bundle $499.99 w/ free shipping... you don't get Gears of War, but you *do* get an extra wireless controller, plus Advanced War Fighter and Arcade titles. It also lists HD component cables on the list... is this standard?

Nov 21st, 2006 03:21 PM #7Yeah, standard with the premium. And you do get advanced war fighter and arcade with the FS / BB deal. You also don't have to wait for it to ship and can exchange in store if you get a defective one... Originally Posted by shneebs

Huh. I was hoping it'd be alot cheaper.
FS had a good deal this or last week, premium package with GoW for $449.
Well, here's to hoping for a $400 premium on Boxing Day! Reply With Quote

Very true... but if I wasn't clear, the $499 Dell deal comes with *two* wireless controllers instead of one. But yeah, I'd take the Gears of War deal over the Dell deal for sure. Originally Posted by mart242

Nov 21st, 2006 10:08 PM #10The FS / BB deal is cheaper by 10$... since with dell you'd have to purchase GoW anyways! Originally Posted by shneebs

Your best bet would have been to pick it up at FS on friday (50$ off for same bundle) and get an extra controller... 510$ for everything + taxes (which is what I did)

Update: I emailed Costco and told them their pricing seemed high compared to the competition. I also pointed out that Dell.ca had a very similar bundle on for $499. They replied and said that their bundle with two controllers also included the Play & Charge kit which the Dell did not, so that at regular price (Dell's regular price is something like $558), their bundle was still a better deal. Regardless, they also mentioned that they'd be updating their bundle pricing within the next 2 weeks, but they did not yet know what the new bundles or prices would be.

Heard Microsoft is releasing a GoW bundle sometime soon. Could be good for those who didn't want to take the current FS promotion. Who the hell wants to play Ridge Racer? You couldn't give that game away.
