"Costco.com products can be returned to any of our more than 500 Costco warehouses worldwide." Sweetens it even more should you have any problems 😛
 
I know nothing about Xboxes...but I think I want to get one to play Madden and Hockey.

Some questions:

1). Will people buy these games? I don't think I have any need for them

2). Do you need the bigger HD? What's that good for?

3). Does this have HDMI/come with HDMI cables?

4). Is this a good quality upscaling DVD player? (Not hi-def, obviously).

Thanks! I'm thinking about getting this if I can sell the games to offset the cost a bit.

1) Resale value on GOW2 should be excellent, especially if you sell right away (this will be a hot game for the holidays). The other two won't get much money, as they are being bundled with ALL 360s for the holiday season.

2) 60GB should be fine for most people. You would need more space for downloading games/movies, etc from the xbox live marketplace. Also, when the major system update comes out later this month, you will be able to install games for quicker loading times.

3) This will have HDMI out, but you will have to supply the cable.

4) Can't speak to the quality, someone else will have to answer.

Yeah, that's a mistake. That ad is written horribly.

Actually, the three downloadable games are something different:

# Additional Bonus: Voucher for 3 Xbox Live Arcade Game Downloads:

* PAC-MAN Championship Edition?
* Catan
* Poker Smash?

even hotter!
 
Even with the estimated 7-10 day free shipping I recieved my order tracking number this morning. It was shipped on the 5th and the expected delivery date is tommorow, Nov. 7th :Q I may actually get to play on release day, this is the first time I've ordered from Costco online and I am extremely pleased.
 
Is the XBL membership transferable/salable? What would one of those fetch, if so?

Also, is it true they're coming out with a Bluray player? I'm interested in using this as an upscaling DVD player, and have heard mixed reviews about that. It's gotta be better than the PS2, right? (I'm using a 1080p Samsung Plasma)

The XBL card retails for $40 at stores (if memory serves me) and it is transferable. As for being a better DVD player than the PS2 the answer is yes, but you will need an HDMI cable in order for it up upscale, otherwise it will play at 480p.

Thanks. Now if I could only find someone who wants to buy GoW, the XBL card and the other 2 games for, what, $100 maybe? Less?
 
This is a great deal IMHO. I would have defintiely jumped on that if I didn't have one already. This deal gets hotter if you were already planning on getting Gears 2. Plus the extra wireless controller, do I read that correctly? Does it really come with 2 controllers also?

Yes, it comes w/ 2 wireless controllers. You save $46 buying the bundle versus separately.

Ah. Gotcha. So I'd probably be better off just getting the Bundle and controller from Amazon and saving myself the 8.25%, than trying to sell all that other stuff. Even if I sold it for $80 I'd still break even.
 
For anyone curious in regard to Jasper and or "Falcon V3" mine just came and it is...
