Note from TheDominion:

Not sure if any games are included in the 20% off, because software is prohibited, but you can try. Or you can go for the $800 bundle at 20% off ($640).

damn, i just got a premium used for 317 after tax.

I paid for my new premium $312 at overstock.com. I wonder how much longer before a better deal comes along.

*nods* yes, that overstock deal was amazing.....i missed it, jumped on this. Overstock is now out of stock, and the Exclusive savings that applied won't count again any time soon.

it *PROBABLY* could get better...the standard slickdeals tricks would apply....2% DPA possible if you can get a website order form that allows you to enter a coupon....cashback from Discover Card if you use that. i don't have a discover card, and i couldn't get a place to enter in the coupon, so i just decided to be happy with paying $12 more than i could have.

This deal is old news. I ordered mine last week. But I'm sort of pissed after learning that they are about to sweeten the deal on the premium system. So it's very possible if you waited a couple weeks you'd get more for this same deal.

how are they going to sweeten it? the news i heard was that the source was questionable at best.



Deal was dead for a week or so....there were no SB 20% off coupons to be seen. Also, dell claimed Out Of Stock on the system when i called 2 days ago.

The xbox is getting a smaller chip which is rumored to be faster but M$ stated that it would run quieter and with A LOT less heat.

New xbox 360 chips ship out in 2007, I'm waiting.

This is a great price but I think I'm going to wait for the newer model as well. It will probably break down less. Article can be found here for those who are wondering....

All you gain with the newer model is possibly quieter?

Why wait, who cares. My games will be so loud while playing them, I won't notice.

ebay link is a dead link

got this bookmarked for future reference, thanks OP.

The key about the smaller chip is that it is much cheaper to make (ie, they can fit more onto one master silicon wafer...instead of making X chips per wafer, they could make something like 1.7x chips per wafer). With that in place, MS is in a much better position to lower the 360's price without exposing themselves to even greater losses per unit.

Hmm I'll think about this. Thanks.

First off where are these coupons coming from? Why can't I just get one for free?

Second of all I don't see it in the SB section, idk here is the system: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=A0561448

Why do you have to call? Can't you just order online?

What states do they charge sales tax in?


Sorry for all the questions. I think I will wait for the bundle to come *hopes* out but this is a really good deal.

My main concern is that it will produce less heat therefore overheat less.

I believe the way the deal works, you have to get a Dell Small Business coupon, so you HAVE to buy it from Dell SB, not Dell Home.

The coupons come from various sources....some are sent in emails to past SB customers....some are won via dell's silly games....some in catalogs....some given in consession for something dell screwed up on. your results will vary.

and yes, calling is teh best way

tagging for future look.

the Ebay link = dead

I used this coupon and did this deal. placed my order on wensday, got the 360 on monday. It was a samsung drive unit (pretty sure) manufactured in may of this year. loud, but not worse than a broken down computer.
