Video Game Deals thread

2nded

Well I have been searching for a 360 and Dell.com has both the Pro and Elite (Holiday Bundle-Indiana Jones Lego/Kung Fu Panda--not impressive but hey they're free) on sale.

If you sign up for a Dell Preferred Account and follow the instructions included in this link the Elite will cost you $286 and the Pro $228. Phenomenal deals for either system. The deal lasts until this Thursday June 11 and from what I have read on the site these have the Falcon chipsets which are supposedly the second best out there behind Jasper. If this is true I'm not sure but for the Elite usually being $399 and the Pro $299 these are quite the deal.

Edit: The deal is now $250 for an Elite Holiday Bundle and $223 for a Pro. :woot:

only the 360s that are the re5 edition and new arcades are jaspers. you can tell before buying because their model numbers are like "xgx" or something where falcons are "qga" or something.

Yeah that's what the posters on slickdeals said (but they said only the new arcades have the jasper so who knows). Frankly to me it doesn't make a huge difference because I know if I get a 360 the RROD is inevitable, my choice is if I even want to go through that (thus why I haven't bought one yet). Luckily it will only be my filler system in between when the PS3 bores me, but nevertheless those are great deals for anyone. :up:

Also thanks for the info. :up:

Target is running Buy 2 get 1 free on all PS3, PS2, and PSP games this week. If you haven't picked up Infamous yet, I'd say now would be a great time (maybe along with UFC).

yeah, i got that info from new egg and slick deals. i'm in the same boat with the ps3. love the ps3 and the more i read about 360s they turn me off (especially after having my roommate's 360 rrod on me).

supposedly jaspers are quieter though and use less energy.

Agreed. I love the $286 price I quoted for the Elite but all the stuff I would have to buy extra to get it running like my PS3 (wireless, self charging controller, online gaming, etc.) would cost more than another PS3 and that's not counting games. :pity:

For anyone really into Street Fighter 4, arcade fighters, or just collecting in general, Capcom has their SFIV standard edition and tournament edition fightsticks back in stock. The TE edition sticks use Sanwa parts, and is supposed to be a 1:1 experience compared to the SFIV arcade unit controls.

These were very hard to find as recent as this week, so you could always get on and try selling on ebay if you were into that sort of thing.
