[CANADA] Limited RE5 Red Xbox 360 Elite - FS - $399

[mkrowe]

I know this isn't much of a deal for most since the xbox 360 elite is usually priced at $399, but just wanted to let everyone know that you can already preorder from Futureshop.

I ordered one already!

This bundle IS a deal because it comes with both a free download of SSF2HDR AND a copy of RE5, in addition to all the stuff that Elites come with, ie 120HDD, HDMI cable, etc. Not to mention these would likely have Jasper boards.

If I didn't already have an Xmas bundle, I'd be picking this up.

Gah. If it were to come with the Limited Edition copy of Resident Evil 5, I would jump on this right away... even if I have two 360s already. In any case, I'm glad to see the Canadian dollar hasn't affected new (LE) console SKUs.

Not the best shade of red IMO. At least it includes the game *cough*Halo 3 360*cough*

I realllllly want this.

But I'll most likely pass since my Xbox is falconed and I would have to work to sell it.

I'm so glad they didn't re-adjust the MSRP to compensate for the CAD. This is an amazingly good deal if I didn't already have a 360.

This is tempting as I have an old pre-Falcon 360, but then again for this price I could purchase a PS3....have to think about this one.

This just might work out well for me. My pro died in October and it's been going back and forth to Future Shop's repair depot. Due to get replaced this weekend, may as well pay the extra hundred for the games, theme, and bigger hard drive.

No kidding, I was totally expecting them to jack the price up to $450 or something. Whoo!

I don't want RE5 or SF, but this way might be the way to go; they're definitely Jasper: http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/major-nelson-unboxes-the-red-xbox-360/

Just paint your 360. I plan on doing that to mine when it gets back from depot, maybe use a cool GoW2 stencil and let it drip...

Don't think, PS3, if your 360 works there's no point in just buying another 360. IMO I'd just grab the system that's more or less guaranteed not to up. Remember what they said about the Falcon?

Had Amazon.ca taking pre-order at day one?
