Toys R' Us (I think, or some other place, I'll check my flyers later) gives you a $25 gift card along with any game of your choice over $39.99 (i.e. Rock Band) when you but any Xbox model. Everyone's having sales to get rid of the old models.

Although Best Buy has the better bundle deal, Future Shop is offering a 30 dollar savings on GH3. This week it is 69.99 rather than 99.99. If I was buying a 360 I would get the Halo and Gears bundle and then buy GH3.

Those prices are at a pretty sweet price point imo. If it was $299 /w 2 games for the pro. They just need to make the xbox 360 $50.00 cheaper in Canada this year and I think they'll have it made for x-mas sales.
I think it would sell really well with just a minor further price cut. I remember I bought my original xbox when I was a high school student working at wal-mart when the price point reached $300.00 using my own money. Heck, it was only half a paycheque which seemed like nothing. Plus a free copy of Crimson Skies tipped me over.
I think the games will be compelling but $350.00 can still be a lot of money to teenagers w/o jobs who rely on mom/dad for their gaming systems. If you can get the system price into the two hundreds, it'll seem cheaper when a parent looks at $299.99. If you include two games the kids really want like Halo 3 + Gears of War, it should sell great.

To be fair by crummy I meant old and crusty, not bad.

Just FYI the Best Buy bundle is with ANY console (including the arcade). I'm thinking of buying an arcade console to get HDMI and GH3 and sell my old console.
