Blockbuster: XBox 360 $349 bundle starts July 18

[kingneb]

Hey guys. I just heard about a nationwide 360 bundle that should be starting on Friday, July 18. Here's what's included:

360 Pro System ($299)
Wireless Controller ($49)
Blue Dragon ($30?)
3-month Live Card ($20)
Four 360 game rentals ($32)

This will cost $349 total. This is like a $432 or so value. I know it's not a great deal...but anyone who has credit they're looking to burn will probably find this useful.

I don't have a scannable ad nor will there be one before it launches. In-store signage should be arriving either Friday or early next week. I can confirm that my local Blockbuster just received 4 copies of Blue Dragon retail that were to be set aside for this special.

Just thought I'd give you a heads-up

Sound good deal if you don't have 360 yet. But i still wait till Black Friday to get the System for my nephew

my wife showed me this last night as she works at blockbuster. i got over 300 in credit but i think i will hold out and just get a ps3.

would this 360 use the Jasper chipset?

Nice deal, but I'm not too attracted by Blue Dragon and I'd prefer to have the bigger hard drive. I hope the new 60gb system drops in price later this year....

waiting for the 60GB. with the netflix acquisition and confirmed game installs i'm going to need it. the jasper chip set also helps the matter.

Has there been confirmation that the 60GB's will include the Jasper for sure? I am teetering between this and a falcon elite.

Definitely not. I have actually heard Jasper won't be ready until August-September. Most likely the 60GB will be Falcon at first, then a mix of Falcon and Jasper, and by next year Jasper enitirely.

Indeed. That seems to be the general consensus right now.
