[Voozi]

Deffently a steal for those out there looking to get a 360 and haven't purchased one. Wonder how long the stock on the site will last & how long this deal with go on for.

[KingME]

Deals good til aug 8th

[actas123]

This is a price mistake. Sometimes dell does that.

[Lifendz]

I clicked on the link and it gave a price of 449.00

[avacadosnorkel]

the wait until after Christmas would be wise because it might be 50 bucks by then

[BrotherNick]

Hell, I want an arcade for 200. Don't need a hard drive lol.

[icarus2256]

That is a killer deal wish I waited a few months, bought my elite two months ago. Can everyone sing the PS3 song, "Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey GoodBye!"

[games4fun]

about things going away
not only does your console die but your avatar does as well

[ruibing]

You do know that the Falcons are still vulnerable to RRoD. If you look at the anandtech article dissecting the Falcon rev, they improved the GPU cooling but skimped on the CPU. You would do better to wait for Jasper when both GPU and CPU are shrinked before you start singing your ballad.

[Silellak]

Get thy lame fanboy crap to the Open Zone, post-haste.

[TheSadTruth]

don't worry, all xbox fans end up in the open zone

[uckitsayitchbay]

I would get one if they paid me the 300 bones to take it off there hands lol muwahhhaaaaa

[KingME]

no one ever accused you of being intelligent anyway now have they?

[twininfinitysol]

You have to purchase the controllers and cables separately. Still a pretty good deal. No matter how you look at it, it's cheaper than getting a 360 Elite at the store.

[Tsalagi]

It says under "Tech Specs" that it comes with component cables, 1 HDMI cable, and one controller. Even if it didn't come with all of that though a component cable can be bought for $20, a HDMI cable for $5 from Monoprice, and a controller for $40 (possibly cheaper if you get a used one) making the total $360. Still nearly $100 cheaper than an Elite from anywhere else.

My bad. Well then, when that rebate was available 300 bucks for the whole package would've been one sweet deal.

[icarus2256]

Don't worry my friend you still have next generation to make come back. Atari was very successful at those methods.

[militant07]

its not falcon !!!

[kenjix]

got myself 2 PS3s amd 2 PSPs no need for MS device. Thnanks

[GiantEnemyCrab]

My condolences.

[Silellak]

Congratulations, your post both reeks of fanboyism and is entirely off-topic.

[u got owned]

Who cares? This is a Xbox 360 thread.

BTW, Go to the other side ------------------------> where you belong.

[air1]

not 1 but 2?! you da man, a very dumb one

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

HAHAHA Crab

[GMR_PR]

OMG you are so cool.

I feel sorry for you. You bought two PS3s with only one good game to play. How sad.

[Shaka2K6]

Why so cheap though...?

are 3$hitty's sales really that bad now days LMAO.

[zo6_lover27]

From what I read it doesn't come with controllers, or anything else, just the games and faceplates.

[dkgshiz]

Is because their not selling at all. Seriously like how many Elites do you think sold? I'm guessing maybe 100,000 or less. Every time I go to my local bestbuy, the elites are always in stock. Their never being sold. Its a flop. $150 cut is really big. The only reason for it is the elite is selling like crap.

[zo6_lover27]

I don't know if bestbuy is the best place to judge like that. They always have piles and piles of the different 360 models (mostly pro) and piles of ps3's, but when I was there yesterday they were completely sold out of all ps3's.

EDIT

It was a mistake, the site has changed the price back to $449

[GiantEnemyCrab]

And everytime I'm at Best Buy I always see PS3's by the stacks. I was at Target a few times over the last few weeks and always see the MGS4 Bundle there.. Those must be flops too according to your logic.

[Snukadaman]

They dont build forts with them like the have in the past....go ask them for a 40 gig or sometimes a 80 gig and they will have them....on the other hand there are xboxes out on the shelves. elites and arcade and pros are stacked together.

[cliffbo]

it suggests that the Elite has not done as well as expected. this is getting rid of old stock to replace it with the 60GB version

[KingME]

Thanks for the analysis

[u got owned]

Wow this is an awesome deal...

[icarus2256]

My only point is that the PS3 has pushed itself so far into a hardcore corner that it's losing serious market share. Microsoft took a good chunk of the hardcore gamers and is now trying to persuade casual gamers also Sony is doing nothing. Sony needs to get serious about their gaming market if they want to compete now and into the future.

[iHEARTboobs]

Sony has plenty of studios focused on making great games. The PS3's future line-up looks great.

[clintos59]

Oh well guess I can always grab one later but, this should sell well.

[Old Snake]

Dayum! I might have to pick this up. What a steal

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Thats a good deal, but there has to be a reason behind it. I'm asuming these are old Eltes and they are getting a fresh stock in.

[zo6_lover27]

No, it was a mistake, if you look now the price is back up to $449

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Didn't see that, or they changed while was away... thanks

[cl63AMG]

Is it showing anyone else the normal $449 price or just me...?

[Voozi]

Oh wow that's really weird...now it's showing the normal $450 price, not sure what's going on O_o

[Bzone24]

It's showing $449 for me also.

[laryforlife]

yeah , just ran out or realized a mistake, better luck next time

[GameOn]

it was a mistake.

[GoldenBoy]

Maybe it was a mistake....price now shows no discount.....damn shame was going to pick one up!

[PimpDaddy]

I wonder how long supplies will last. I know somebody who just bought this off of Dell's website earlier today. Thats a damn good deal. It's black, 120GB of HDD space, plus it's bundled with 2 games, and 2 face plates.

Edit: I see that the price changed just a moment ago. I have to check back with my friend now. See if it was a mistake or he just had real good timing. I will let everyone know.

[Captain Tuttle]

Zephyr or not. It's still covered by the 3 year warranty.

Edit: Looks like it's over.

[kingme71]

Savings went kaput.

[pwnsause]

good deal

[Rob0g0rilla]

That was such a steal.

[Hentai]

That hurted..

[Voozi]

Yea just report the story and hope it gets removed since this "deal" only lasted like 40 min when I posted it on n4g.

Sorry peoples :3

[PimpHandStrong]

is what im waiting for!

Shame this deal is classic N4G crap

[etownone]

I saw this deal on another website and ordered it immediately.

I just called Dell to confirm my order and they said evrything looks good and I should be receiving order status shortly

[Bill Gates]

I love my home too much for it to be burnt to a crisp because of this junk360....AAHHAHAHAHA

[laryforlife]

Anybody get theirs cancelled, I ordered , and really hope it doesn't get cancelled, planning on no disc spinning for any of my games for this big ass hdd

[etownone]

no confirmation here but like I said, i called and they said my order went through...

keeping fingers crossed...

[Voozi]

Well best of luck to you two, hopefully all goes well and you're able to get the Elite for the $300 tag

[trancefreak]

dude i was ordering it then went to cart and the price updated to 449. Im frickin pissed. i wanted that elite what hell of a deal.

[scrub]

I got a confirmation email. Went to dell.com to check status and order is in production with an estimated ship date of 8/13-8/15. I did place my order over the phone. The rep acknowledged this was a periodic one day sale price. She also mentioned to check for other one day sales on various other products Dell carries. I think this was a legit one day internet sale.

[etownone]

yeah, i got the same email confirmation!!

so far, so good.

[Dolemite]

My order was confirmed at a total of $329. It had this tag in the email.

-- Dell Home Customers: Save $150 off Select Items!
- $150.00

[jinn]

they made a clever move

[scrub]

Here's the low down directly from Dell...

From email...

Hi sorry about the voicemail I need to change it, I actually have changed schedules so I work from 12-9 central standard time. Anyway I did receive your voicemail yesterday and, if you did receive an email stating that the order was now going to be original price that means that you were not one of the 2100 people that were able to get it at the discounted price. I am very sorry because we were not aware on the sales floor that Microsoft only gave us 2100 xbox’s at that discounted price and they sold out in 1 hour. So I don’t know if you were able to qualify. As for shipping we have already submitted the order so the shipping cannot be changed. If you have any questions please contact me and if I don’t answer just leave a voicemail thanks again.

My confirmation email from Dell has the quoted price of $299. From the info above anyone who gets a cancelled order email will be due to lack of inventory to fill the orders as opposed to a pricing error on the website. We'll see.

I got another email from the rep stating the order will not be cancelled and everything is good to go.
