I also scored a used wireless controller on eBay for $22 and and a used 20GB HD for $25 after CB.
Now I just need to return my dying one to Costco for the $299 + tax and pocket the $90 difference.

Just fyi gogamer has the wireless controllers for $22.90 + shipping brand new:

Those are recertified, not quite brand new.

Amazon has new ones for $27.99 with free shipping. Link Use a 10% ECA coupon if you have a memebership to knock it down to $25.19 shipped. Pretty good deal for a new controller - I ordered one a few days ago when they first went on sale.

Ugh, you are right, didn't look close enough. I thought gogamer had a deal on new ones too, looking back at old emails it looks like they had black ones for $25.90 in the last 48hr madness sale but that's over. But even still the Amazon deal would be better anyway. I also know Buy.com has them for <$30 shipped quite often too.

They shipped mine FedEx. There was a way to track the order though, you have to go through the link in the email they send when your order ships. Under shipping information there was a link next to tracking number that says track this order. From there, you click on the actual tracking number and it should take you to FedEx's website.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, I see where the tracking information should be. However, in the "Carrier" and "Tracking" area it says "Data temporarily unavailable"... Looking on the invoice provides a tracking number that begins with "8W09". But Fedex says it's invalid. Oh well. I will just wait it out.
