[quote name='sizzlorr']Yeah, would love to know if there's a way I can find out about the Jasper board by looking at the UPC or box... any idea?[/QUOTE]
Went to the Madison Heights, MI store and they had four Elites, three Holiday 2008 bundles and a non-bundle one with a make date of April 18, 2008. Holy cow. The clerk said he used to work at Gamestop and he saw a 65% return rate on the Holiday bundle units. Looks like I'll be hunting at Meijer.
when i checked last week, the santa clara mc only had falcon elites, i tried price matching at best buy they said no, i tried at fry's, they said ok, but no free junk games, i said, ok. bb and frys both had jaspers, ie white box elites.
thats the same link i've been using but when i print it the top is cut off. knowing best buy they won't accept it.
lol I don't even have an MC in my state. but some people on slickdeals were able to get it to work in states without an MC. i'm going to try anyway with extremely low expectations
I've heard people being able to get the price match of the gift card as a deduction at Best Buy. You just have to print the Best Buy price match policy if they give you trouble so essentially, you could get the system for 250 before 50 rebate
went to best buy in florida to price match. they wouldn't take $50 off or give $50 gift card but they took $50 off something else. so I picked up a 12 month xbl card since I was going to get xbl anyway. it was either that (can find online cheaper occasionally but wouldn't want to wait) or a controller (though controllers are like 30 bucks online) or a play/charge kit (cheaper online).
i know some people were able to return everything and get the system for 250. don't know how it would work for me considering i didn't pay for the xbl card.
also, reward zone gamers club doesn't work on hardware does it?
