Deals time: Price cuts and cheap games, oh my!

by Dustin Burg { Jul 13th 2008 at 12:45PM }

Thanks to an official Xbox 360 20GB price cut announcement, we have a very special edition of our weekly deals roundup featuring cheaper hardware, cheaper games and money savings all around. Let's get to it.

This week, Best Buy has Xbox 360 20GB HDD consoles for $299 (obviously), is giving away $5 in concession cash and exclusive content with Space Chimps, selling Turok for $30 and, well, that's about it. Over at Circuit City, they're giving out a $30 gift card with the purchase of both a $299 Xbox 360 20GB HDD console and NCAA Football 09, a $10 gift card with the purchase of either GTAIV or Beijing Olympics 2008, a free plushy and with Kung Fu Panda ($40) and offering Space Chimps for $40 with $5 concession cash. Making our way over to Target, we find the best Xbox 360 console deal, which we actually knew about last week. They're giving away a free $25 gift card with the purchase of a $299 Xbox 360 20GB HDD console, so we advise making a stop at Target this week if you want the best "Jump In" deal. They are also giving out an eight pack of Coke Zero with the purchase of NCAA Football 09. Spend wisely and all that jazz ... happy shopping!

Xbox is just copying PS3 now that its clear its the superior console. Like with the new 60gb SKU and a Singstar type game in the pipelines. I would say the shoe is well and truly on the other Foot.

PS3 Rules

Hope you enjoy spending $299 to get RROD

Good job wasting your time trying to troll us here, you're wasting your time.

It must really suck to be so poor that you are forced to only buy one console, then spend your spare time arguing about your purchase online in an effort to assure yourself that you have made the right choice.

Those of us with real jobs that don't involve asking people if they "want fries with that" will just buy all of the consoles and never have to worry about it.

On a side note my post was incredibly redundant.

Yeah, I kinda noticed that. That is something I noticed.

People want bigger hard drives and they want karaoke games. Is Sony copying PC manufacturers and Konami?

Who cares. Play what you have and enjoy yourself.

Just picked up my 360 from target. Was surprised that I was the only one there. Guess nobody bothers to look at the Sunday adverts anymore.

I bought the 20GB package 2 weeks ago. Dang.

Just got myself my second 360 from Target.

My first console is coming back from MS after experiencing my first RRoD. One thing I notice, this bitch is QUIET! I hope MS sends me a brand new one, cuz I am going to give the one coming back from MS to someone.

I want that $88 NextPlay 7 DVD Player. It looks awesome.

Wow. Just bought a new 360 from target, so...wow. I'm still learning about the system (achievements, gamerscore etc.) After having a PS3 since '07 I'd still say I prefer it to anything else, but I'm excited about the exclusives (Too Human, Lost Odyssey, Dead Rising). I'm a little concerned about the RROD, but I made sure I got a Falcon board and hopefully that plus the 3 year warrenty will take care of anything that might happen. Overall I'm pleased with my experience.
