If you can buy it from costco because they have very good return policy. Also best buy is very good also.

No online stores .

Does Best buy offer good deals (like buy a PS3 and get a free game or something like that?)

i got mine at gametraders; a week before the "value" pack came out...
they gave me the same deal, and for $50 more i got to choose which two games i wanted, instead of just getting motorstorm and resistance....

Whatever you do, don't buy from Amazon.com.... I got mine yesterday, and it broke after 1 hour of playing Oblivion =(

New one is due in on thursday/friday though, so hopefully 2nd time's the charm

Fry's if you have one near you, giving 2 extra blu rays + the 5 free blu rays.

Walmart gives remote.

Amazon works fine btw (no tax so if your state has tax, u'll be saving a lot)

Got mine from Amazon actually, when they had the free RE:A blu ray and blu ray remote.

Get it at Target for $458 (if there still doing that). Or FYE for $469. If you don't have any of does stores near you, I recommend BestBuy, they don't have any offers, but just because there great.

I bought mine @ Hastings (only in the Northwest) and they were offering a $100 giftcard with the purchase of a system. I think they're still offering it if any of you are looking up here in the NW.

do you get to pick the 5 blu ray movies from the store or is it like a mail in rebate sort of thing where you mail them what you want and blu ray sends them to you?
