But some women are dumb. Like Paris Hilton, for example.

Post by: CajoleJuice on August 22, 2007, 08:54:24 AM: Bay Shore, actually. Patchogue usually has some cuties. And I know you're just a GS shill now, Willco. I'm going get one of the new HDMI Premiums.
Title: Re: Who said next-gen games were too expensive?
Post by: CajoleJuice on August 22, 2007, 10:59:01 AM: On second thought, that's not a bad deal at all Willco. Do you guys sell used HDDs? But these refurbished 360s don't have the same setup as these new Premiums. But it'll be about 100 bucks cheaper. But I kinda want a headset. And a wireless controller is nice. And some dude said the Best Buy 2-year plan gives you back the difference if the 360 goes down in price at all over the 2 years. It's 80 bucks, but the 360 will no doubt go down at least 50 bucks over that time, if not more. But I have to be 100% sure that it's true when I go to buy it today. So many factors. I just want to play BIOSHOCK.

Post by: Robo on August 22, 2007, 11:05:36 AM: I tried to match it at the PC price too, but the woman at customer service was well aware of the discounts at CC. :(
Title: Re: Who said next-gen games were too expensive?
Post by: CajoleJuice on August 22, 2007, 02:23:51 PM: The funny thing is that I didn't even try to get it for 39.99. The girl started to ring it up as 49.99 and I was about to pay, but I said I had a Reward Zone card (gotta get them points) and she looked at the CC flyer again. She says, "Oh, its 39.99! Sorry!" and I was just like, "Oh...I didn't see that either. Cool." She even had to get a manager to come over and when he saw he was approving Bioshock for 39.99 he just went, "NO WAY!" and looked the flyer (I thought I was screwed at this point) and just said, "Holy crap, it really is. I gotta get that too!"

Owned.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on August 22, 2007, 02:32:36 PM: I'm not trying to be a shill, I'm just trying to get you a cheap 360! The HDs are just $60 used now, and if you got a sub/discount card, that's 10% off that. Plus, you can get them warrantied for a year and the price you pay NOW will be the same price applied if it breaks. I think it's like $40 or $50 for the year. And unlike Best Buy or Microsoft, you get another 360 the day you return - no waiting.

I can understand wanting a new model, but if you absolutely NEED one right now at the cheapest possible price, $189.99 is not a bad price at all. The HDs are just $60 used and the headsets are ridiculously cheap - sometimes I've seen 'em given away.

Post by: CajoleJuice on August 22, 2007, 02:36:26 PM: Hey, I said it wasn't that bad on second thought!

But I'm still going to go with my original plan. If what that kid said about the Best Buy 2-year plan was bullshit (which I suspect it is), I'll probably just take my chances without the warranty.

And get completely fucking burned.
Title: Re: Who said next-gen games were too expensive?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on August 22, 2007, 02:37:28 PM: Best Buy will cover you, but you won't get a 360 the same day you return your old one anymore. They send the console away and you're forced to wait. That was the last I heard of it.

People without jobs, lol.

Post by: CajoleJuice on August 22, 2007, 02:38:30 PM: Really? WTF. I thought it was a replacement plan. I thought you only had to worry about that shipping away shit if you went through the MS 3-year warranty.
Title: Re: Who said next-gen games were too expensive?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on August 22, 2007, 02:39:53 PM: Yeah, Best Buy kind of buckled underneath the replacement plan due to how many were coming in. That was their solution about two months ago and I don't know if things have changed - check your local store to make sure. I'm not sure how GameStop has managed. I ship out three to five 360 units a week with our defectives.
