I just pulled the trigger on this deal, seems pretty decent so I thought I would share for those looking to get the Xbox 360 Premium Holiday Bundle and Halo 3. Sorry for the repost on the Halo 3 Limited Edition.
Anyone know if these have the new processors and what type of DVD drive they have? I'm thinking about replacing my dying 360 with another one. Already got the RROD 5 times, and it still freezes maybe once a day, so who knows how long it'll last.

Unfortunately, not very people have reported here after buying from Buy.com but it sounds like with the holiday bundle in general, it's a gamble whether you get Falcon vs. Zypher and what DVD drive you get.
By the way, if you don't care of HDMI, Overstock.com has it for $326 with an extra headset. Use the AmEx promotion for 10% off, and the Paypal 20% off promo (still works for Overstock, last I checked) for a grand total of $243.40 ($293.40 out of pocket - $50 paypal Cash Back in Jan). No tax (except Utah) and free shipping.

On every 360 console page on Overstock I was noticing they all had Refurbished graphics on the item pages for the Premium system.
They only have factory packaged units with HDMI OR Arcade, both which are not in stock.

I know the sell factory packaged ones as I bought mine from them last year but none in stock on the site =/ Nice catch. I didn't see "refurbished" in the title for the one with the extra headset, like it does for the others, so I thought that was new. But you're right, once you go in, it does say refurbished under the picture. Whoops!

Oh, I almost made the same mistake and got excited when I was looking for a deal for my boyfriend...then saw the dreaded Refurbished word!
He should have jumped on the darn Amazon Gold Box price the other week when I told him too!
millh0use said: I notice near the bottom of the page it states:
FEATURES HDMI Cable sold separately
However, this bundle is supposed to have the HDMI cable included. Can anyone who has received this confirm whether they got the cable or not? If I'm not mistaken, the "HDMI" just means that it has an HDMI port. I believe it only comes with component cable.

My boyfriend ended up using the Buy.com discount coupon and grabbing himself a console with that...really the best deal there is with no tax & shipping plus no waiting in cold.

$334.99??? where is this? Buy.com is 349.99 with 5% off ($15) --> $334.99 free shipping and no tax.
So far this is the best price that i have seen...any other that can beat this??

It won't work cause I can only use it once. I think I wasted it on a 10 dollar memory chip. This Sucks!

Thanks for the find! I'm in for 1 of the Buy.com consoles. I was planning to pick one up at WalMart tonight but am happy to wait a few days for shipping to save some $$! Saved about $36 considering no tax and the 5% off.
how long has it taken those of you who ordered from buy to receive?
