Please lock if this isn't worthy of its own thread. Buy.com is now selling the new core bundle for $279.99. Use the 5% off coupon and send in the rebate for declining the magazine to bring the total down to $256. This system comes with an HDMI port, a wireless controller, and a 256mb memory...
So if I apply for their credit card online, will I at least be able to get 15% off and free shipping? That'd be the best deal on a 360 pro bundle out there... 350-52.50=297.50
The Arcade Core Bundle is available for pre-order with a release date of 10/23.

Don't forget the extra $10 back AR for declining the free magazine subscription brings the final price down to 324.99 shipped.
Personally I'm leaning towards waiting for the new Core bundle to become available at 280-14(5% off)-10(mag rebate)=$256. At that price I can always add the HD later...
I don't take advantage of GR nearly as much as the rest of you, but this not getting games (which essentially amounts to bait & switch) is really starting to piss me off...
Sucessful Pre-Orders:
Dragon Quest
Xenosaga 2
MGS 3
Soul Calibur 3
Pre-Orders they never ordered:
Stella Deus
Atelier...
I'm looking to trade for or buy game guides for games I own. Please PM me if you have any of them!
High wants:
Panzer Dragoon -Xbx
Star Ocean: Until the End of Time -PS2
Xenosaga 2 -PS2
Makai Kingdom -PS2 (ok, this isn't really a penny guide...)
Lower desires/older guides:
Dark Cloud 2 -PS2...
I called to verify my order went through, since I never got a email confirmation & the sales rep said Makai Kingdom was backordered. The ETA is not until Aug 18th if that changes anybody's mind. Also, I 'm confused about this saving $18. Last time I checked $50 minus $38 was $12...
Anybody know if Gamerush actually got copies of Stella Deus for those of us who pre-ordered them? After getting shafted on Digital Devil Saga, I don't want to suffer any more surprise disappointment.
