Amazon is running a couple of Xbox 360 promotions.

First off, when you purchase a Xbox 360 Arcade console priced at $199.99, you are qualified to get Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts game for free. Both items must appear in the same cart before checkout. Promotion ends on July 11, 2009 at 11:59PST. Click here for more details.

Finally, you can purchase the Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Messenger Gold Pack which includes a 12-Month Gold subscription code for Xbox Live, Project Gotham Racing 4 game, messenger chatpad, and a Xbox 360 headset for $55.96. Purchase it before July 11, 2009 and you'll receive a $10 promotional credit towards the Xbox Live store over at Amazon.

I bit on the gold pack. I figure I can trade the game in for something I would enjoy more, or keep it since I have no dedicated racing games in my library. Thanks for the heads up, my friend!

You forgot to add that the text pad/messenger controller add-on also comes with this pack.

anyone trade in the headset at GS lately? I don't need another one.

Neither do I but I figure it won't hurt having a backup in case mine breaks. Or also handy for when a friend is over and we're playing online multiplayer. Think I'm gonna bite on this one. Thanks for the heads up!!

You'll likely get a dollar or two...so don't make your decision based on getting a great return on that.

How was PGR 4 received? I don't remember hearing much about it.

Last time I traded one in (a few weeks ago) the tiv was at $5. Not great but better than the buck I was expecting.

If you're a fan of the series then I think you would enjoy this. Check out gamespot's review: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/driv...ng4/index.html

$5 isn't too bad.

This item is $56... let's break it down

$5 headset
$5 PGR4 (approx value)
$40 12 month membership (usually $45 on amazon but have seen as low as $40 from a reputable source)
$10 coupon
$20 chatpad

so about $80 worth of stuff for $56. hmmmm....

Good breakdown. I almost pulled the trigger, then noticed that NY gets charged tax...deal breaker for me.

Crap, I JUST bought an Xbox 360 Arcade from them a few days ago. Time to call them and see if I can get my free game.

I played the hell out of PGR 2 one summer when I was sans cable. I liked it OK except for those damn cone challenges. Almost ruined the game for me. But I do need a racer and this deal probably beats paying $40 for Midnight Club LA.

I was never a fan of PGR4(or the series in general), but the year of Live and the Chat pad make this offer pretty tempting

same here. keep us updated

I bought an arcade the other day with the console coupon and tried to stack the free game with it, but it would not work. So I am interested if anyone can get it to work or calls after the console has shipped and is able to get the game.

^ I got rhythm heaven and blue dsi deal to stack with the coupon I think this would work similarly

Wonder if this is the best chance to use the $75 amazon coupon...or wait for something better.

I ordered an XBox 360 arcade on July 3rd. I just saw yesterday, that the promotion had started. I e-mailed Amazon support, and told them I didn't know about the promotion, I ordered it before July 11th, and I just didn't add it to the cart at the time of purchase (which are the requirements of the promotion). They e-mailed me back and told me that since my console had already shipped, for me to make a separate purchase of banjo kazooie, and send another help request with the order number and re-explaining the situation. The purchase price of banjo was waived. Amazon e-mail support is awesome and fast.

The messenger pack is 20% off but why does the amazon xbox live store say $20 dollars off in the text on the right hand side (the picture shows 20% off). Someone might try to contact amazon to get the $20 dollars off like advertised.

Jumped on the messenger pack. My XBL subscription expires in 2 weeks, and this is a much better deal than the $50 auto-renew.
