shipping and tax kills it... if you go to Newegg.com and use paypal on one xbox 360 game and one controller AND one game system (either Newegg or another paypal merchant), you'd be spending a little below what you'd be paying for this WalMart deal

nice try though

where? Arcade 360?

Since the ad does NOT say Online Only; why wouldn't this work in the store?

I should be able to go to my local Wal~Mart and get this.

Can you also add the free Halo deal on from xbox.com onto this?

I disagree. Read here...
"The maximum total amount of Cash Back per PayPal account is $50 USD."
so for $350, you are not getting 20% (-$70), but only 14% (-$50) and Newegg.com still charge shipping (+tax very).
control, game, and bag are going to be charged at full price (+shipping/tax) ($50 limit), unless you open 2nd PayPal account.

Sounds like a PS3 fanboy to me...

Maybe you should include the cost of your internet provider too since you're into online gaming. Oh, and you need a TV on which to play the game system so you should amortize the cost of your TV over the life of the system. Add electricity to run the system. And you might as well throw in the opportunity cost of you not working a second job while playing the system.

Sheesh...the 360 is crazy expensive *rolls eyes*

Now if I could have only gotten in on this deal...looking for a cheap way to upgrade to an HDMI capable 360.

I think he's talking about using the 20%off (up to $50) via paypal. That'd be $300 + 2.95 shipping at Overstock. However, it looks like they don't have the holiday bundle so no free games.Search for Xbox 360 Core Arcade Bundle at overstock to see this: Our Price: $279.99

But, now it says: Sold Out!

Did anyone weighing in on this discussion actually score anything? I mean, not a single person has posted, "In for one." Maybe WalMart was just running a huge scam on all of us, and NO one got ANYTHING. I wouldn't put it past the #!@& jerks.....

Thanks for responding. Cool! Then, I'm glad at least one FWer benefited from the deal.....better luck for me/the rest of us next time, I suppose

I don't know how much I even "saved," but on BF I happened to be in Circuit City and they had XBox 360 and Guitar Hero II (including the guitar) for $349.99...so I got that. My daughter said that WalMart's deal today was the best, almost unbelievable to her, but I just couldn't get in on it....oh, well. Still have to buy my teen Madden 08' and Halo. Sigh.....my handicap is being utterly ignorant about this whole video game thing.

I posted mine earlier. $25 for shipping sucked but since it was to an APO I didn't have to pay tax.

The deal didn't come 'alive' until later. I think I got it around 5am EST (I'm in Belgium)

For those of us that don't need a bag (which I'm guessing is 90% of the people here), this deal isn't so great. Basically adds a free game since $399 covers the standard xbox+controller price. The shipping is pretty pricey too. Good bundle if you do need/want that bag though.
