That is a really good deal! I was thinking about getting Netflix capable BD player for my bedroom.... however... this plus a cheap basic BD player would be the much better option for me as then I would have BD, games, home network streaming, Netflix streaming, Zune HD streaming and downloads, and a Tivo; all in two boxes. Use that $100 towards a cheap BD player and I'm looking at $250+tax for the whole shebang.

This is a badass deal if it happens. Thanks for posting this, homey.

hehe, the PS3 IS (well at least will be this month) a cheap Netflex capable BD player.

But it's no DVR, so this would still be the cheaper way for me to get all of these functions to my bedroom.

You also have to add $50 for XBL Gold, because I dont think the netflix streaming will work unless you pay the annual XBL fee.

You are correct. You need XBL Gold to view Netflix streaming.

i think you need a harddrive as well to be able to download the app for it.

I have a gold account. It's no problem to keep the profile on a memory card and move it from one to the other. I do it now with two 360's already.

The only problem with this deal is that for anyone who doesn't already have a 360 and wants to get one for some serious gaming, a hard drive is going to be necessary. So, that will suck the gift card up pretty quickly. But still, getting the arcade system and then putting the gift card towards a 120GB HDD will still come out to being something like $50 to $70 less than buying the Elite system, as long as you don't care about the different system color.


I frankly just want to find a good deal on the 120GB HDD. I still have a 20GB on my 360, and want to upgrade, but not for the price that it goes for.

...wait a sec, you plan on owning 3 360s? haha, isn't that a little overkill?
