MS Press Release

Beginning today through Oct. 5, when you purchase an Xbox 360 Elite for $299, Xbox 360 will put $50 back into your pocket with a limited-time rebate. Coupled with the recent price drop of the Xbox 360 Elite console, this offer makes your premium games and entertainment experience more affordable than ever.

Xbox 360 Elite puts all your entertainment in one place so you can play games, watch movies and TV shows, listen to music, and, coming this fall, keep up with your Twitter and Facebook social circles, all from your living room. Additionally, with a Netflix unlimited membership and an Xbox LIVE Gold Membership you can instantly watch movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix, recommend your favorite shows and share in a movie party night with up to 7 friends ? all on Xbox LIVE.

And, as announced earlier this year, the Xbox 360 you buy today will work with ?Project Natal? and controller-free gaming in the future.

You may be eligible for the $50 Mail-in rebate when you purchase an Xbox 360 Elite in the U.S. between Sept. 22 and Oct. 5. Visit www.xbox.com/eliterebate/ for more details and rebate requirements.

EDIT: Xbox.com/eliterebate appears to be up now.

EDIT2: Combine with Dell coupon for even more hot dealness:

EDIT3: Dell is now OOS, but the rebate is still good (for an Elite purchased anywhere in the US).

3) Use $50 off Rebate
4) Final Price: $299.99 - 15% - $50 = $204.99 + Free Shipping
 
Wow. My roomie just put his olllllld (pre-hdmi) Xbox downstairs. So on the one hand, $250 for an Elite is amazing, but on the other, we don't need HDMI or the HD space. But on the third hand, the thing hasn't RROD'd yet, and it probably will at some point. Tempted to just pull the trigger, but maybe it'll last until they drop even further.

Hmmmm....

I'm in the same boat. I have an original one from either the 2nd or 3rd large batch during the initial release. It hasn't red ringed yet, but Im sure it's been thinking about it. I kind of wonder what the trade in value is now for an old one.

Well, if it's within the 3 yrs period from manufacturer's date - it's worth something. If you are looking to sell it outright, a working 360 on Craigslist with no frills is about 80 - $130 depending on the fixin's...
 
OMG...this worth it to play the Forza games? I'd pretty much be buying a 360 to play them...(even though I have a PS3 and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Gran Turismo 5).

Edit: ahh, nevermind, dead deal.
 
My order status is still "in production."

I have a feeling it may end up canceled - or I may end up canceling it if nothing happens soon..
 
Microcenter has a $50 gift card with a 360 elite until sunday or monday. That would make this deal even sweeter if you have a MC around.
 
Just FYI - The 360 Elite Holiday Bundles are being shipped to stores today. Comes with Lego Batman and Pure. If you can snag one prior to the expiration date of this deal (10/5), that's a nice bonus. Pure is a well done but very under appreciated game.
 
Argh..I wonder if I can Ebay my new Jasper Arcade for close to the price of this and get one.

Bing is an additional 15% off too right?

It won't work with the discount code. States it in the terms of use or whatever.

 
A poster in the Fat Wallet thread said he got it for $192 after Bing so I assume it works. Also found this:
use code 232F46?QB982DR to get free 2 day shipping

Check that thread again. Another member states that it does not work.

EDIT: Damn double post.
 
Are this ELITE releases JASPER ?
NEWEGG got Elite Holiday Bundle w/Lego Batman & Pure do you think it's new release with JASPER? NEWEGG doesn't shows any $50 rebate from MS !!!
 
I just saw a TV commercial according to which the Xbox 360 Elite is now $100 off - not $50. Is there any truth to this?

It's $100 off the old base price of $400, and there is a rebate from Microsoft until 10/05 for $50.
