Meijer.com has the Xbox 360 listed at $350, and the Ps3 (80GB) at $599.
But if you use coupon code [bdbbf7399bc]meijercomgift[/bdbbf7399bc] , you get 20% your total making the 360 $280, and the ps3 $480. Seems like an amazing deal to me for someone still looking to buy a console!

How reputable is this company?

By the way, that's one hell of a deal.

Yeah, how reputable is it? Im thinking about buying it. Im a noob to 360's, is this the middle class one? Does it come with a mic? Is this the one before the elite version?

They seem reputable...I think they have B&M store locations.
Ah here we go "Here are 181 Meijer stores in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky"

They're probably like a mini K-mart or the like.
So they seem ok.
Also noticed this Copyright 1996-2007 Meijer, Inc.

Some people say their CS is iffy...but that's like all stores like K-mart and Walmart.
You can't expect much out of the minimum wage, no benefits, employee who hates their job.

thanks +kmzzzzzzzzzz

So the difference between that one and the elite is??? The color? The harddrive space? Is the harddrive necessary for an xbox360? im just plannin on downloading demos and saving games. Its like tivo, isnt it?

samz465

23-09-2007 15:06:13

Umm...I'm not too sure, I don't download the demos.
I'd say ask someone else about that.

Also, three main diff's between the elite and premium is color, hd is 120 instead of the regular 20gb. Final thing is that the ELITE has an HDMI port. The premium does not, however it DOES support HD with it's component (RGB) cables that come with the system.
The elite comes with the HDMI cable.

I personally have a premium for almost two years now. I use components and it looks very nice on my plasma...For sound I use optical out.
Sound comes out nice too...

If you have an HDMI port on your TV already, it might be in your interest IF you have the extra cash, to spend $450 on the elite...but it's your call.
It's really dependant upon how anal you are about picture.

Talk to Dmorris about it, he's the electronics guru, and then compare the opportunity costs.

Thanks, now im really considering in the elite. I use a lcd I got from Ideal so I think HDMI will be better. Any good deals on an elite?

haha yeah man, us midwesterners.

Also, I don't think that the premium comes with HD cables..only the elite (unless they changed something of course).

hahaha, yeah i had never heard of that store oops , so do the hdmi cables come with that xbox? can anyone please confirm.

I got my 360 free freepay about a year ago and I just got regular av cables and componet (the red, blue, and green ones).

I do believe that they come with the elite though cause there is a reason for the $100 price raise (besides the bigger HD).

you can get an HDMI cable for under $10 shipped from monoprice.com

samz465

24-09-2007 11:55:16

Look...
Guys, ELITE comes with HDMI port and HDMI CABLES. ($450 version)

PREMIUM comes with REGULAR port and COMPONENT cables. However this IS CONSIDERED HD ...($350 version)
The component cables are HD...they are the red,green, and blue for VIDEO only.

HDMI is a different (new) type of cable...

looks like theres a lot of confusion goin on here.

the OLD premium's had component cables, but now the NEW premiums have HDMI (search for xbox 360 on amazon and you'll see what i mean)

that means, the main difference between premium and elite is harddrive size.

i'm not sure which one meijers is selling

(side note i'm from the midwest and never heard of meijers till now either haha)

Ignore what I said then.

For me an Elite would be worth it, since I have an old 360 that doesn't have HDMI, and I have an HDTV.

That's why there's GadgetCity )

Why get and elite and pay the extra money(unless you want the bigger HD) when you can get the premium for $280 that comes with HDMI cables?

Heres a post from SD
[quoted6141fe014]
Ordered the xbox 360 on Monday, Sept 24th. $290 shipped, no taxes.
Yesterday got an email showing my order shipped. The email said the UPC was 882224035811, but I received the xbox today via fedex and yes, it does have the hdmi port! I did not pay for faster shipping. What a deal!
By the way, my billing and shipping addresses were the same. [/quoted6141fe014]

They have the PS3 60 GB right now!! Im thinking of getting this?!?!?!!

EDIT. Deal is DEAD ! v

samz465

28-09-2007 11:38:36

Damn...When did it die?
Also why doesn't anyone else try it.
I entered the code, (didn't go through checkout though) and it still came off.

zr2152

28-09-2007 12:00:53

my buddy said that the deal was dead also, he tried to get the 360 last night
