WAIT !!!!!!! WTF !!! I thought JoyRide was supposed to be a FREE downloadable game that was coming to xbox live arcade (well that was the plan about 2 years ago)

you know what Microsoft ? Go yourself.


Thank you for the post though

pretend joyride doesn't exist. it is absolutely horrible.

lol

yep
free and usable with a controller for xbla and not for this gimmick

The Microsoft Team for President!

This makes a Kinect+Dance Central preorder mildly tempting, but the software lineup overall still just doesn't offer enough for me to justfiy spending $150+ right now. Maybe when Child of Eden comes out (and if it is significantly more interesting using Kinect than a controller) i'll pick one up but I just don't see much interesting use of this thing right now.

I already pre-ordered Kinect + Dance Central... I guess I need to cancel and do it again to take advantage of this deal?

That's what I did... wanted to make sure I had qualified for the $30 credit.

Well I've had a 100% success rate at having Amazon preorders automatically retrofitted with promotions. Granted, none have had the nature of requiring a combined order so I guess it wouldn't hurt to be safe. Still, they can see your order history which is practically your receipt to dispute a lack of credit after the order ships.

Well, if you can use a 360S, then ordering the bundle is like $50 in savings on Kinect. So I'll just stick with my bundle. Wish this deal applied to console/kinect bundle + software (Dance Central).

Matching Walmart isnt good enough nowadays, I'll wait and see what Kmart will do.

Fixed.

Honestly, I don't think I would even take Kinect if Amazon paid me to take it from them. Such a shame MS put who knows how much money into this instead of developing real games.

this.

the game is so bad, just ignore it as a whole.

It's possible I'll jump on this after Halo: Reach, Fable 3, and CoD: Black Ops credit comes in.

Lotta hate for the Kinect, but I'm getting it. This is a good deal. Getting it, basically for the family, in an effort to purge my house of the Wii (this is coming from a reformed mega hardcore nintendo fanboy). I think I'll have fun playing Adventures and Sports with my kids and wife, and my kids (5 and 2.5) are excited for Kinectimals. So, this is a good deal.

$30 credit for Deus Ex 3 or something coming early 2011...for me. Score!

Thanks, OP!!

Hmm...now have to rethink my whole buying strategy.

Again.

After having everything pre-ordered on Amazon to begin with, already switched and swiped up a $25 GC from BB for prebuying Dance Central and Your Shape.

That leaves Kinect Sports, the Kinect itself and a new 360 for the living room - where hopefully, I can get my uber-reluctant wife interested in a game or two.

Guess I can jump on this, too, and sort things out as more specials start showing up, though Dell had a decent deal on the 4GB 360 S ($169.99 + tax, I believe), which might help spread the costs around a bit.

Yup, the holidays are certainly on their way.

Have Kinect pre-ordered on an old ECA order; I'll just add a game to it and assume I'll end up having to email Amazon to get the $30 manually added to my account.
