WTB New xbox 360 - any ideas on where to look?

[captmurphy]

I'm not too keen and paying retail and I can't seem to find a reliable source that offers a 360 for a better deal. Any pointers? I'm looking for a pro or an elite. Thanks!

dell has had them (fairly) cheap with sales and coupon codes and stuff, i think there is a thread about it, but im not sure, good luck. if i happen to see anything, i will let you know


edit:

elite fable 2/halo 3 bundle $360 (same for the lego indy/ kung fu bundle if you wanted that bundle instead for some reason)

if you can get a coupon, you can save a little more, not great deals but better then retail if you need one, but they do have tax and shipping

Fye also generally offers 30-100 rebates on the various models.

I've heard "jasper" models are less prone to RRODing, and seem to be recommended for anyone buying new. I believe they're 08 manufactured and have the 256 internal mem chip.

You definitely want to find a jasper. I found this site helpful in identifying one with out opening it (most retailers are ok with checking them until you find the one you want): http://community.winsupersite.com/blogs/paul/archive/2008/12/12/how-to-find-a-jasper-xbox-360.aspx
Basically you want one rated at 12.1 amps. I think I read some people are finding versions of jaspers with 512mb of onboard memory.

G-Stop is giving away Scene It 2 Games (with controllers) and You're In the Movies (with vision camera) with their pros and elites (i think pros, might be elites only, dont remember)

I just bought an elite at tech4less.com watch the prices, I scored one pretty cheap, fast shipping and good phone support, - 4 me anyway. Also you can get money back if you go through cashback @ livesearch.

Thanks everyone! Great places to check. Open to more advice if any is being handed out.

Yeah thats recent, they just started adding 512mb onboard meaning if you have one then you have the latest one ... I got my jasper a few months ago and it had 256 onboard but this thing is silent and never gets warm to touch .

tech4less.com has some cheap refurbishment, but with refurbish prob cant register the console for warranty

I got an open box elite from tech4less and had no problem registering it on the xbox360 website for a warranty. I also called my credit card company and purchased an exteneded warranty through visa on it for 60 bucks / 5yrs.
