Black Friday sales; Xbox 360 for $100?!?

[Pupusa]

Amazon.com is launching a sale on Thursdays at 11 a.m. Pacific Time. Currently the biggest deal is an Xbox 360 Core system for $100. $200 off the system is a great deal, just buy the HD for another $100 and it's close enough to the premium package. Quantities are limited to 1000, so it'll sell out very fast. I plan on picking it up, with a Live account, headset, HD cables, and Elder Scrolls Oblivion. Anyone else heard of any great Black Friday deals coming up soon?

There is a place here that will do the Gears of War package deal for around $399 only this weekend.

if you want that amazon.com deal, you better spam the site a good 30 minutes before the deal starts

I thought there was more different between the core and full systems than the hard drive, or is that just the PS2?

this is peaking my interest toward the 360

Thats just the PS3. Originally basic PS3 wasn't going to support HDMI, but they reversed that decision, so the hard drive is the only real difference. You still don't get a cable though.

Difference between Core and Premium Xbox360s. Note the Core is fully upgradable to the Premium, it just doesn't come shipped with everything to make it cheaper. Not sure if the basic PS3 is upgradable to the big money version, but I don't think I've heard anything about being able to.

$100, I'm definitely going to try to grab one. You can get a 20 gig HD for it starting the 22nd for $100. Headsets $20. The Wireless Controller is $50(plus you keep the free wired.) So you can ultimately get a premium system for $270, with an extra controller. Ethernet cables are what.. $5 for 100 feet? Negligible to mention. $130 off the boxed premium is a nice deal.
