It's time to page through the weekly retail adds to uncover a few special Xbox 360 deals. And just in case you forgot, all Xbox 360 consoles have seen a price cut where Arcades are $199, 60GB Pros are $299 and 120GB Elites are $399. If you're going to take advantage of the new price cut, we advise heading over to Circuit City where they'll toss in a free 1600 Microsoft point card with any console purchase. They're also selling GRAW2, Saints Row and Dead Rising for $15 and giving away a free tshirt and $10 gift card with the purchase of Force Unleashed. Sadly, neither Best Buy or Target have any 360 deals worth mentioning. Then again, who needs 'em anyway? Happy spending!

Price matching?

Hard to PM deals like this. Not impossible but very YMMV and most managers won't do it.

If they were going to price match I think your local Circuit City has to have it in stock also. I tried getting Best Buy to price match the CoD4 deal they had at Circuit City (free CoD3 with purchase). My local Circuit City was out though so they screwed me out of the deal. They would have though. It does depend on the manager like the guy said too.

i used to work at best buy, and recently circuit city has had more deals, less people trying to bug the hell out of me when i go there, and has good stock (at least here) on xbox games. the only crappy thing that's happened to me there was not having gta4 on a full paid pre-order (they put my copy on the shelf and it sold), but that's something you can chalk up to that individual store. I went to the next circuit city and they gave me the game AND that $10 gift card.
word to the wise: if you try to price match these anywhere else, the store can (and probably will, read the fine print on every ad) refuse it if the other store is not in their area for direct competition AND if the other store does not actually have it in stock. just a tip.

Wow, it's sad how desperate Microsoft is getting. They are scared and should be.

PS2:
Debuted late October 2000 at $299
Prices slashed to $200 in May 2002
Thinner PS2 arrives for $149 in late May 2004
in 2 years time the PS2 cut it's prices by $100 by popular demand. MS is going by this model for the same reasons, so shut the hell up.

Just taking time out of your day and going out of your way to just trash talk on something as insignificant as that is fail.

And the system has been out since 05. The price cuts are not acts of desperation. Its convenience.

Exo,
If you already own a 360, being at it's current price ($399/$499), the PS3 will be a very hard sell. IMO most 360 gamers don't need/want what Sony provides with the PS3. You won't see a Halo, Gears or Fable, and you probably don't want care about HD movies and if you do you will probably wait until Netflix offers them over Marketplace. I still feel they provide enjoyable, orginal games, whether AAA or PSN-downloadable, but it's all in the eye of the beholder and according to you they don't have enough to warrant your purchase which is respectable.

The system has been out for almost 3 years now, price cuts seem kind of obvious.
This isn't really a "deal" per se, but places have finally gotten Viva Pinata 2 in... Target's version has some extra cards and a free episode of the show packed in.

Hey, thanks guys! I always kinda wanted Dead Rising, but it never seemed worth $59, or even $29. It is certainly worth $14.99 though! I picked it up today!

@Kal,
Only reason PS3 is outselling 360 is because most people have a 360 already.
Anyway, I took advantage of this sale to pick up Saints Row. Fun game. Money well spent.

Let's not forget about those that are buying a PS3 (like myself) because it's a Blu-ray player that happens to play games.
But ... I still haven't bought a game for it yet. Watched and bought PLENTY of BD movies though. :-)

Come back over here when the PS3 is in 2nd place. Outselling for a few months and yet still in 3rd place. Must suck to be a 1 console owner.
