Its that deal in Walmart with the $100 gift card with the $199 arcade which sold around 170,000 its first week :shock:

It does sound like a sweet deal but I would rather put in $100 extra with the HD but O-well

Congratz 360 ;)

best place to buy any console. if you bought that arcade 360 you can return it in 2 months and get a full cash refund even after spending the gift card!!!

Yeah i know. I like all the consoles and all but they really dont have that much diversity in software. The ps3 is a little bit better but not by too much

Increased sales of a console means devs might be interested in investing games into it. Which you as a consumer can only benefit from. Why do you ask?

What is this "personal preference" you speak of? >.>
Ha. :lol: I laugh at your fanboyism. If you don't like the Xbox 360 then you just don't have any taste at all. EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD LOVES HALO 3 AND GEARS OF WAR 2! Halo's great and spectacular campaign, along with Gears of War [2] exciting online gaming - it's the only two games you need [on the Xbox 360] and you are set for life!
"personal preference" Ha! I laugh at your humour good sir!

/sarcasm.

Though seriously, their is no point arguing with fanboys such as 'scarface_dm'. People like TC don't understand preference.

I completely agree. Pitty though that VGChartz is as reliable as a crazy, australian guy who has a water bottle in front of him....ie....me. Just saying.

If that is true and every walmart sold out that would only be around 50000. Still a huge number of system sold but no where near the number from vgchartz.

The problem with percentages is you have to know how much the system was selling prior to get a proper idea how much it's selling.

The point is to use the gift card on the HDD, and that's essentially a Premium for $200.

I was thinking about picking it up for that price.. But then I got to thinkin... I've already had one before.... and I barely used it... and I am not paying for live. But I wan't Forza 3, L4D 1&2, and Mass Effect 1&2. I had L4D and ME on my old one, but I would buy them again.

Yep. And just wait until MS drops the prices of the Arcade & the Elite models down to $150 & $250. I wonder what PS3 fanboys will say then?

If you think Wal-mart was selling 200-300K prior to this then you must be insane. :P

But I'm guessing that you are talking about all retail stores. So then how much of these total sales were Wal-marts?

It'd be a good deal if it came with a hard drive on top of the gift card.

He didn't say that. Games that interest him. God forbid someone have personal preference :?

It is hard to believe that a console with over what, 300 games? has NOTHING that interests him. Even I don't own a PS3 or a Wii and BOTH those systems have at least 10 games I am interested in. Money is the only thing keeping me from picking them up. Not fanboyism.
