Tempting since I think my really old 360 is about to die but I barely play video games these days. Still tempting though.
i smell a dupe here
Dupe as in duplicate or a dupe dupe?
Stock levels? Is the sale for the whole 24 hours or until sold out?
I hear there's a new Rolex coming out, better not buy a Casio. Save the money for that.
Rolex & Casio - different company
Xbox 720 is next installment from Microsoft which will out-date & replace the current console. Soon developers stop/reduce making games compatible to Xbox360.
Yeah but no one knows what the 720 will cost at launch. $129 is affordable for a lot of people (especially parents) and the collection of Xbox 360 games currently available and those that will be released in the upcoming months, is nothing to scoff at. Plus, there will be a lot of sales with stores trying to get rid of Xbox 360 games to make way for 720 ones. There's plenty of life left yet in Xbox 360.
Think of it from a present/gift point of view as well. $129 for one of the best consoles that's currently available with a vast selection of games is an incredible present.
Why does this deserve a neg? Product cycle on this - around 8 years. Buy now, it's superseded in 6 months. Buy the new model in 6 months, it's superseded in 8 years. So 6.25% waiting time - phone analogy based on 1 year cycle - would you buy a new phone if it were to be superseded in 3.25 weeks? Obviously not talking about prices differences.
New xbox is not going to be $129.. roughly 1/5th the price of the new model?
To use your phone analogy.. i would purchase a Galaxy S3 for $120 in a heartbeat
regardless of not talking about price differences… that's the whole point of this deal.. It's an amount that to most people is throw away cash
Obviously not talking about prices differences.
How can that not be a consideration? Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest and more often does not require it. Also, with the Xbox 360, sure, it'll be superseded by the 720 but that doesn't make the 360 any less of a good purchase at $129. The deal is very good. Obviously it's not for someone who can afford the 720 when it comes out, but that doesn't change that the 360 at $129 is still a great buy.
Of course it is, but it doesn't mean that devang153's comment was worth a neg. He's correct and so are you. It's worth it at $129 for some and for others it's worth waiting. That was my point in the end - not worth negging.
Just got 2 from Heidelberg.. may still have some stocks left.
Good Luck.
Just bought online at 310pm and still in stock to be delivered to Sydney.
Just picked up one from the store across the Vic market… Had to wait a little cos they were busy but by the looks of it these blokes have plenty in stock..
Do you guys think they will ever hit the $99 mark?
I'm not being cheap, I already have a Xbox 360 original and this would just be a backup console. :)
It will probably drop to that price soon, especially since Microsoft is likely to unveil its successor in April
I knew that already, +rep for using theverge as your news site of choice, my favourite one <3
I love the verge too!
don't need to think on this part
IT WILL DROP in price till all old stocks are cleared for the new xbox
A great media centre extender at this price!
Would be greater if it had Bluray drive
uhh…why not click +?
now he know that there is a dislike button too
Facebook gives me the cringes… I don't mind having big data sell off my search history etc. but that site is just criminal when trying to delete your history, getting tagged to things you don't want to be, trying to delete your account etc.
Do yourself a favour a go to www.facebook.com/help/delete_account
I don't remember anyone asking for a paranoid rant?
You can buy a HD-DVD player and you instantly have a collectors item!
Or a another piece to add to the 'junk pile'.
website says $129.95 ?
Definitely a deal breaker for some, amirite?
Playing tomb raider on xbox last night great game
Nice jtag.
x360key
where do you download the games from? piratebay? how much for x360 key?
If you're going to pirate at least have the decency to do your own research. Some people just don't get it.
Can this thing run Boxee?
And has any of the stores run out?
I dont want to head out to a store only to be told that its all gone!
With GTA:V coming up, it just struck me to buy one of these… By the time GTA:V comes out (ie September), will they get much cheaper? I don't see my self using it until then.
I'll have to pay shipping too as I'm in sydney…
Don't need it
DON'T TEMPT ME!! Will they be cheaper soon?
Can this be easily 'customised' so to speak ;)
Dont need it but bought one anyway…Ahhh the life of an ozbargainer
With the Xbox live sale this week http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/95053 would people advise to go with the unit with the bigger hard drive?
buy this, buy an SSD, swap SSD with laptop HDD
put the laptop HDD(it's larger size) into this xbox
done!?
And buy a HDD adapter from eBay?
Same price as harvey norman a year or 2 ago, these xbox's are heaps nicer then my old fat white one
Anybody wanna trade one for my xbox original?
Anyone tried to price match this at any sydney stores?
Good point- anywhere I could try? Just an hour left so let me know! Cheers
Could someone please post a receipt/invoice?? I want to try and get Kmart to price match this one today! Cheers
They'll phone the store to check stock, at which point MLN will say the deal is over. Don't waste anyones time.
missed this great deal :( ( by a few minutes as always). Should i buy on ebay instead? The cheapest one they are selling for $169 instead plus $20 shipping or free pick up . Any advices ?
Well I've ordered one, intending to pay via bank deposit, but I'm starting reconsider buying it….
I am only buying it for GTA:V's release in September. Does anyone think the prices should drop even lower by then? If so, I can contact MLM, and ask to change the delivery address/and get them to contact you…
Me too, GTA is a legend and also waiting for Dragon Age 3.
Ps4 gonna release end of this year, so i would expect to see the next gen xbox in 2014. The price gonna be lower for xbox 360, however, i dont think it would be lower than $100 this year, next year would be possible.
PS4 will most likely be 2014 for Australia. Also, new and old consoles are still actively sold in parallel for a long time.
Take this PS2 for example, that thing sat at the $199-150 price point years after the PS3 starting being sold.
Buy Overseas….
Hi, my name is devang153 and I don't take region codes into consideration when giving free advice.
Arrived yesterday, quick postage, crap packaging. Looks factory sealed, pretty happy, upgrading for wi fi.
Might want to add $19 for shipping in title.
EDIT: and mention pickup in Melbourne
