Corris Veteran Posted November 20, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 20, 2008 The 26th is a Wednesday, 28th is Friday,silly article writers. :p Though I'm sure those 500 consoles will go quickly, they always do in these sales. Id go for the Family Bundle myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkmanx21 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 So..how do you get it? That deal is ridiculous. I don't even want one, but for that price..I'll buy two, simply because it's a blu-ray player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even want one, but for that price..I'll buy two, simply because it's a blu-ray player. just get on amazon the day of the deal and try to be one of the first 500 to get it. good luck though, the past 2 years i've tried getting in on one of the deals, amazon wouldn't even load.
