BEST deal on XBOX 360 yet!
Overstock.com is having a 12% coupon for new customers, this link activates that coupon:
http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi...STATICPAGE&PAGE_ID=7271&cid=97755&fp=F

Xbox 360 Platinum is having a $45 dollar discount at overstock, this link brings you to the product page:
http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?cid=97837

(Xbox 360 Platinum includes system with hardrive, headset, HD AV cable, and one wireless controller)

Add it to your cart, (if you are a Overstock customer, make sure you had deleted the cookies first and when checking out create a new account) it should show up as 307, or 313, or 315. Probably depending on shipping?

Some people are getting 307 dollars, I don't think it matters as long as its a Premium system for less than the price of a Core system after tax! :laugh:

For me:


Subtotal: $353.99
Discount: - $0.00
Coupons: - $42.48
Shipping Charge:* $1.40
Tax: $0.00
Grand Total: $312.91

:) I guess i did buy the 360 after all


****************UPDATE 7/18 ****************
- Overstock's inventory fluctuates in and out of stock so you may want to sign up for their notification email to let you know if/when this comes back in stock.
- if you bought this, chances are you like xbox360 but also big on saving money, here are a few things to know (info collected from sites such as SD and CAG)
- Burnout Revenge, The Outfit, Full Auto, Ridge Racer 6, Madden 06, NHL 06, Perfect Dark Zero Limited Edition are on clearance this week at Toys R Us B&M for $39.99
- Play-asia sells Japanese/Asian X360 games for 39.99, they do label their games that are not region-locked. I believe you can play these on XBL with no problems as well, this is a good alternative than paying 60 dollars for the same american version of the game (new games such as Prey, Tomb Raider, LOTR, GRAW, Oblivionare all going for 40 dollars. thank god for the X360's poor performance in Japanese and Asian markets :laugh: )
- here is the linky for their site: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-14-71-bn-49-en.html
- here is their reseller ratings, pretty good IMO: http://www.resellerratings.com/seller5376.html
- Circuit City, starting this sunday 7/23, will have Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero for $19.99 (Sears already selling at this price. thanks to Kromis for his CC thread)

I can't wait!!! :D

considering that this deal is publicized on SD, FW, and CAG, not a lot.
if you like taking the risk, you can wait 2-3 months after every reseller who bought this to resell had sold theirs (but before the anticipated price drop before ps3 is released), then ebay it for about 360-380 (overstock has this at $350 with the normal 12% off, if they have it in stock), worst case scenario you'll sell it at your cost.

i bought this just now for keeps. i may buy a ps3 to ebay though for double the dough, but i've never been waiting on line overnight just for a video game system, considering how much i hate sony for their stupid ps3 publicity stunts, the copycat controller, and their execs crapping from their mouths, and how much i now hate ps3-fanboys (i still love my ps2 tho) this one may be worth it.

thanks for the tip; turns out I'd be paying ~$25 in fees alone so profit would only be $20-30 tops, so I'll pass on this one

There isn't going to be a price drop. Microsoft already said there won't be a drop. Why would they even need one. the ps3 is 499 and 599. the 360 is already priced lower. With many games coming out for both systems, they will sell quite a few during the holidays.

Most resellers would kill for a $20-$30 profit anytime.

Sure, with volume...but when your talking about 1 maybe 2 360's...it's not worth the time/risk for an extra $40...

I did the same math and decided to pass on this one. The most I could afford right now was 2 of these and making 10-20 bucks on each was just not worth the hassle.

hmm there are 10 left? its not OOS!!! (as of 11:37EDT)
i think i get 312 because it was the 10% coupon in my cookie, and the 12% coupon didn't take effect. so people who get 12% off will have it for $307 dollars.

figures

I placed an order for it this morning at $312 and then I find a local deal for a system with a 2yr extended warranty oblivion/mlb/fight night/ blazing angels and 2 wireless controllers for $400!!

needless to say I will be picking up that $400 deal at 7:30pm tonight

then I will have an extra new system from overstock... ebay? or be nice and resell to an Anandtecher who missed out?

decisions decisions...
