leefamily23 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 My son's Xbox got the dreaded red ring and it's several years old so the warranty is expired. Anyhow, wish this would of happened a few weeks ago when Walmart had their gift card w/ purchase offer. Does anyone know of the best deal out there right now for an Xbox 360? Was going to get him a Ipod Touch for Christmas (tomorrow actually), but looks like I'm getting a new Xbox instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom2DKK Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 i just got an email tonight from TRU that the Deal of the Day for this weekend is the Xbox 360 Arcarde edition for $99. I think they are having a bundle deal, too. It should be on their website. Brandi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savannah79 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm so torn on buying one... keep hearing about the RROD and it scares me! If I got one for $99 like Brandi mentioned, I;m in - it's a lot easier to throw money at it for that price than for around $300! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstermile Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 i just got an email tonight from TRU that the Deal of the Day for this weekend is the Xbox 360 Arcarde edition for $99. I think they are having a bundle deal, too. It should be on their website. Brandi $99 period??? No $199 with gift cards or whatnot?? If so for that price I may buy a spare. My drive is starting to make some squealing noises so I am sure it is going out soon and I am long out of warranty. And I am on my third one after two RROD's. Good thing is the new consoles have HDMI out. Mine doesn't. Slap on my hard drive and I am good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachealb Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I dont think the TRU deal is just $99 out the door- I believe you have to buy the "Ready for play pack" for $149, then you get the xbox arcade for $99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they offered this beginning of November? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnask8pro Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I am looking also. I just figured I would just buy the Elite considering the prices. That deal doesnt look so great considering we already have cotrollers. ANyone see any Elite deals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a LOT less risk against RROD than previous chipsets. The warranty has gotten better and as long as you have one with a Jasper chip and keep it WELL ventilated, I don't think there is much risk.

dhascall Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I saw an XBox 360 on eBay w/RROD and it went for $20. There are some folks making money on fixing them. Apparently a solder joint breaks down over time. Wonder if you could put a laptop cooling pad under one to keep it from happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnask8pro Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Dell.com has the Elite system back on sale. $30 off and free shipping. I got it, done with one more gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
