Where should I buy an XBOX360?

[powwka]

I'm going to get the premium one, or whatever it's called, Halo 2, Xbox Live headset, and possibly Gears of War. So that's like $500. Is there any place that I can get a discount for that?

the premium comes with a headset for xbox live.

Amazon and GameStop both had bundles that included 1 free game for $400, see if either still does.

Most coupons and rebates just expired. Check deal sites tomorrow to see if anything new has started.

Ooh that looks like a good deal. 2 controllers...
I didn't know that premiums came with headsets, that's cool. Do all premiums come with 2 controllers, or just this one from Costco?

just the costco one. they usually have 1 wireless controller.

that costco deal is really nice. all the extras are very useful. if you get the play and charge kit from costco, you might also want to pick up an extra rechargable battery.

Always, always buy electronics from costco. Incredible warranty/return policy in case your xbox ever gets the red ring of death.

Crap, I just noticed that it was 499, not 400 🙁
I want a wired controller, so the wireless thing doesn't really matter to me. What exactly is the charge and play thing though? Because if I don't get it, how do I use the wireless controller that comes with the Premium version?

Go to Amazon.com and check out the descriptions there. They will answer all your questions.

the play and charge kit comes with a rechargable battery for a wireless controller and lets you charge it while you play using a USB port if it runs low.

if you don't get it, your wireless controller will come with 2 AAs, and you'd have to change them after a while.

Doesn't Microcenter have the premium for $300 after mail in rebate. not sure how that relates with the package just commenting that was the lowest price had seen.
