dwc designs Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Target is offering a deal that may be better than BF prices. Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle for $299 plus $75 Gift CardTarget http://akimages.shoplocal.com/dyn_li/280.0.75.0/Retailers/target/EPS_111009_p01_a_b_101802_ec299.JPG
dwc designs Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 yeah, but it is just the 4GB version...True, but the 250gb hard drives can easily be found online for as little as $60. So $359 total plus the $75 gift card is about $284 for the 250gb Kinect Bundle compared to $399. No camping needed. I know it takes the fun out of the deal though:cool:

They are much, much more prone to problems when you add the HD. later. I've seen this price several times over the last few months including at TRU & Best Buy.

I think the 4 gb will be fine.

I've seen this price several times over the last few months including at TRU & Best Buy.I'm sure come BF they will have the 250gb system with a gift card. I'm guessing it will be somewhere in the realm of $100 since they are offering $75 on the 4gb. This deal is perfect for the casual gamer, but for the full use they almost make it mandatory to get the 250gb model. As long as you get an official HD you should be fine. My biggest suggestion would be to get the warranty. I love the Xbox system, but it is prone to problems in general.

msl94 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I took advantage of this deal only because my XBOX 360 just died (had the original system from 5 years ago). Not only that, but I could not pass up a $75 gift card since my wife and I are in Target about 2-3 times a week.

The only internal memory is I think 256mb.

He's actually had a Wii system since they came out, used it mainly for guitar hero and sports games, but he's ready for something new.

There just aren't enough games rated E or E+10.
