A few months back, Target was clearing out these bundles for $125. I bought one just to replace my 4 gb 360, but since Microsoft made the 360 compatible with external drives up to 2 tb with the last system update, you don't necessarily need to buy a 500 gb system. That said, if you don't have a 360 at all, I would recommend the COD bundle since it's the most recent version of the hardware. It's also extremely quiet compared to the other versions of the hardware that I've owned.
I have one sitting as a backup, bought it from Target at that price too. It was too good to pass up.
Got one as well and used a red card and team member discount to get it for $112 after tax. It's still unopened, but I have a bunch of 360 games from games with gold that I'm hoping to play one day.
I don't care what anybody says - the 360 is still a darned good value because of the vastness and variety of its library. The question about this deal isn't whether or not the buyer would get a lot of value out of the money spent but whether or not you could get a cheaper used 360. You could, but I still prefer a minty fresh new console under warranty and untouched by human hands.
IMO unless someone is really scrapped for cash and literally can't afford next gen or a PC, just about any computer at this point runs the same games miles better than 360 - and there is a ridiculous amount of multi-platform titles between consoles and PC. Throw in a few "remasters" for this gen, and the last gen consoles are getting close to worthless. Not completely worthless as there are still some games unique to the respective platforms, but getting close. 360 probably has been raided by PC most of any platform.
I think they actually have specific wording about not to retailers with member fees. Even though it's the same company.
By far, Walmart is the most difficult place to price match. Once I brought in a print ad from Best Buy and took three employees before they decided to accept the price match. Now, I will head to Target long before I bother with Walmart.
