It’s been mentioned in this thread before, but Target has had the PS3 version of that set discounted to $40 for quite a while.

Excellent find. Thanks for alerting me to it because I’d been thinking about picking it up at full price before it disappears.

Now all I need is a PS3.

YMMV, but my local FYE is having a sale on “select” Wii and DS games, with discounts of up to 50%. “Select” most likely meaning “nothing you want to play,” but it might be good to drop by and check it out.

Mirror’s Edge was down to $19.98 at Target this week on the clearance racks.

I have a PS3. I have Ratchet and Clank, Little Big Planet, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Uncharted.

IMHO - and keep in mind, my favorite game is X-Com - this game beats 'em all. Great game

This game is especially notable not just for the GameSpot debacle, but also because it’s one of the only games I’ve ever played where playing it in co-op is actually worse than playing it by yourself.

Seconded, as I’m much more interested in a DS version than the 360 one.

Fable 2. Bionic Commando Rearmed on XBL. Both destroyed by decisions made about the camera in coop. What did they manage to ruin (more) in K&L?

Microsoft Xbox 360 Pro with 20GB Hard Drive and HDMI*

$139.99+ $5 shipping
CONDITION:Refurbished

In the box:

Xbox 360 with 20GB Hard Drive
>Wireless Controller (Requires 2 AA Batteries)
Power Adapter
Component Cable
Ethernet Cable

  • no cable???

A family member gifted it to me, and it plays pretty much like Advance Wars. The primary difference being you play on a hexagonal grid instead of a squared off one. It isn’t anything exceptional, but it isn’t terrible either. If you like Advance Wars, I don’t see why you would not enjoy this as an alternative.

They don’t come with an HDMI cable new, so I’d be very surprised if they came with an HDMI cable when refurbished. Only the Elite and the special edition 360s come with an HDMI cable, though all models including the lowly Arcade have HDMI ports these days.

20 gb suggests these are older models since the Pros have been up to 60gb for a while. Probably systems already on the RROD treadmill, I wouldn’t touch this deal with a ten foot pole. Brand new Jasper Arcade unit and used 20 gb HDD combined would cost very little more than this and be far less likely to cause you massive grief 6 months from now.

If you’re fretting over the HDMI cable, order one from monoprice, and add the seven bucks to the total.

And then still don’t buy it because $139 is not a good price for a refurbed older 20gb Xbox 360.

Seriously, don’t buy this. Don’t be like Slainte Mhath’s son.

Can’t say that I disagree.

It looks like you can get a squaretrade warranty with this which may make it worth it. Has anyone ever purchase a warranty from them and had a good/bad experience?

Never mind it sold out seconds after I posted this.

I just bought an HDMI cable from monoprice this past week for my PS3. It cost about 6.50, shipped (6 ft)

5 below has truck loads of Space Chimps for the 360

My son now serves as an object lesson to those who would follow in his path. So awesome. ;)

Oh, and his 360 is still broken. He has no money and I refuse to fix it because his grades sucked this semester. Now his WoW account is expired (on patch day no less!) and I refused to resub him for the same reason. He’s one seriously bored dude at the moment.

How long before the withdrawal pangs kick in?

From now `til Monday, get Fallout 1 + 2 + Tactics + bonus goodies (e.g., soundtracks) for $14.37 from GOG.
