Possibly the best week in console buying ever?[/QUOTE]
Yeah Mr. "spockblocker" i think it is the best console week ever. Here is what i have already done and plan to do.
Let me start by saying i already own all 3 systems, and I think this is an AMAZING opportunity to UPGRADE all my systems
Last night i took advantage of the xbox 360 slim deal where you get the 75 gift card. I plan on going to my local wally world on friday and getting the red wii and slim ps3.
I was going to ebay my current systems, but after talking with a bunch of my co workers today I pretty much have them all sold...LOL They do however all need to go home and "ask permission" from thier significant others, so nothing is written in stone yet
I am offering my 360 to a guy for 125.00, its an arcade model that i bought about 6 months ago after my LAUNCH model 360 FINALLY did the RROD thing this summer. So i thought i was giving him a pretty good deal by knocking 75 off the price i paid for that arcade unit, i have a 120 hard drive on there that i am NOT including in the deal (ebay time)
I am offering my bulky ps3 (metal gear solid 80 gig bundle) to my boss for 150 that i bought a couple years ago at wally world for like 399 or 499 (dont remember) with free 100 dollar gift card. He really wants THAT system because from what he and I understand, its one of, if not the ONLY one that is backwards compatible with ps2 games which he supposedly has a slew of. Plus it never hurts to give your boss a killer deal on anything
I am offering my launch wii to another co worker for 100.00.
I could very easy ebay all these consoles but it much less work this way and by the time you end up getting raped with ebay fees and paypal fees I would probally end up selling them for the amounts i am offering to people anyways, plus its christmas and I look at these deals as being blessings to people
So here are my breakdowns:
xbox 360 300
gift card - 75
225
selling old one -125
100
120 gig hard drive sell on ebay 100ish?
0 upgrade cost Give or take
ps3 300
gift card -100
200
sell old one -150
50 upgrade cost + brownie points with boss priceless
Red Wii 200
gift card -75
125
sell old one 100
25
ebay the NEW new super mario bros. (already own it) my estimate around 40ish?
+15.00 LOL
Wally world is going to be getting ALOT of my money this week. Plus i was just texted by a friend from work (actually the one that is going to buy my 360) and he said he just seen an advertisment on tv for this sale and they mentioned a bunch of TV's that are going to offer gift cards as well.......
