[Official US] Xbox 360 Special Offers & Deals


Recommended Posts

So start one!! :D It's been enough work keeping this one updated... :pc: I don't think I could keep 2 running, especially if my heart isn't in the second one... ;)

As much as I would love to, it would never go updated. I am too flighty when it comes to forum post. I am usually all over the place. Not to mention, I am not usually researching PS3 games deals. I only buy a few a year if that. :)

This is a Canadian deal, but I didn't know where else to put it: (perhaps I'll create a Canadian deal thread to compliment the UK and US ones ;))

12 Month Xbox Live Gold Subscription Card is 10% off from Future Shop as part of their online Labour Day sale. The sale is going on now and it ends on Tuesday morning (10 AM EST). I just ordered one for myself.

Again, sorry for posting this here, I realize it probably doesn't belong here, but it probably doesn't justify its own thread either.

From what I can see, no one's mentioned pre-ordering Halo Reach and receiving 500 Gamer Club points, with Best Buy.

500 points = $10 certificate, I think.

Best Buy is giving a $20 gift card with Halo Reach, which is a better deal. Also, Walmart and Amazon are offering $20 gift cards with your preorder.

Best Buy is giving a $20 gift card? I haven't heard of that one. Do you mean if you buy it on release day, instead of preordering?

Check out the link on the 1st post.

That xbox live promotion almost sounds good until you read the fine print. You agree to automatically renew for one more year after that at whatever price they happen to be charging at that time.

Maybe I'm just reading it wrong, but I don't think you have to auto renew at the end of your first year, if you don't want to. I think it's just telling you that if you don't cancel by the end of the first year, then it will auto-renew at whatever the price is at the time ($60, I'm guessing). But you can also choose to cancel your subscription before that auto-renew kicks in just like you've always been able to. In other words, you just won't continue to receive the discounted price of $29.99 after your year is up, should you choose to continue your subscription.

It doesn't seem to be suggesting anything different than it's always been - but again, I may just be understanding it incorrectly.

In that case sounds good. I am just usually wary about fine print, hehe.

And I am not a big fan of using my CC directly in the console.

    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
    • Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
