xbox 360/ps 3/ wii boxing day discussion...

[psiwashing]

anyone think the 360 is going to be marked down at all on boxing day? personally, I can't see why they would, considering it is really the only console that will be available. I am waiting with FS gift cards to pounce on a deal, but if nothing special happens on boxing day, then i will just wait until early jan.

I can't really see it going lower than the $450 mark the premium bundle has been hitting. I think the only thing they might do is mix up the games in the bundle, or add an accessory.

But I don't see it going lower than $450 overall.

the best deal already happedn on it @ 429 after using the coupon for 25 off any purchase applied to your FS cc. I highly doubt you will see it lower, they have no reason to since their sales are very strong right now

I jumped on it at 429 w 4 games GRAW/Live Arcade/GOW and RR

I hope they drop down a bit. I still haven't gotten one. I'm hoping that the price goes down so that I can afford it.

hopefully they will sell off some 360 core systems at 299 again.. missed the last 2 chances..

[danhenry]

Nah. The core system isn't worth it. There's well over $150 worth of stuff in the premium one. I would suggest it heh.

[BillsFan]

Depends if you want/need the stuff included with the premium.

[Jon Lai]

Perhaps there'll be a $399 XBOX Premium bundle limit to like 5 per store, but the bundle would be scaled down or something. I don't see that not happening, but as for Wii/PS3, good luck even if they have it in stock.

[butter]

Games will probably be on sale...
Stuff like Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero, PGR, Call of Duty 2, The Outfit, Gun...

Wal Mart Canada may do something like they did on Black Friday where they gave $50 gift cards with each XBOX 360 Premium Bundle.

[MrDisco]

i hope GoW (and other game titles), the hd-dvd, and the charge kit go on sale.

[kevin01]

maybe the same deal that there was on ps3 launch with the 4 games, or 2 controllers, or they could make it a wireless adapter and a game instead.

[crazymike]

I personally see the 360 coming down in price or been more aggressivly bundled.

Microsoft is said to be makin 30% off each system, where as others are losing money just to put there system out in the market place. Also, it is generally known that gaming systems are sold at a loss but recovered through licensing and acessories sales.

[Firestorm]

Depends if you want/need the stuff included with the premium.

No. Everyone needs a hard drive or memory card to save.
Memory Card = 64 MB for $50
Hard Drive = 20,000 MB for $130
Hard Drive = required for free demos, trailers, etc.

Seriously, you'd have to be a moron to get a Core at its current price. You would HAVE to buy a memory card at the very least, meaning you just bought something just $50 less than the Premium and have stripped the 360 of its best features. Even at $200 less than the Premium it's pushing it because you're paying $130 for a hard drive and only save $70 - which would have got you a wireless controller, component inputs, a headset, and an ethernet cable.

[jadoocian]

you guys think wii games will be on sale at all?

[bembol]

I'm guessing the PS3 games will drop $10+ again like back during the launch.
