Best right now is the 15% off at Dell Home for Electronics and Accessories. You should be able to find the post by searching on 'xbox'. Prices and such are listed in the posting.

Circuit City has the 360 60 GB Premium Bundle for 299. and you can get 5 percent back from live.com if you have signed up for all of that, and Free Shipping or in store pickup, but sales tax in most places, just like Dell. It's got 2 games, Indianna Jones and Kung Fu Panda, the wireless controller, headset, and HDMI Ports.

They also have the Arcade Bundle for 199.

No smoking hot deals that I have seen yet though.

Tiger Direct also has the 60GB Bundle, same deal, 299. and it's 5% for the cashback there too, but no sales tax for some, and it looks like they want 15.99 for shipping.

Buy a 199 model and then go to craigslist and get a used Hard Drive cheap.

I would search to see if any Dell deals are still going on. I missed one and then saw another one right after the one I missed expired. That was about a week and a half ago.

Dell was fantastic in that they came through and delivered it before Xmas which was only a few days away.

I think it said it was delivered from China or Singapore, probably where they make them. The downside is that Im pretty sure its a Falcon not a Jaspar. It has a 175 watt power supply vs a 150 watt.

As long as it doesnt catch on fire or blow up I guess it doesnt matter.

I think the 360 Pro deals at Dell were the best I could find over a fairly long time when I passed on the zappo deal and its actually better than the zappo deal since that was for
a 20 gig. It comes with headset. component out cord (NO HDMI cord) and of course the wireless controller and 60 gig HD.

I noticed some people posted about the fact if you DVI like I had then you can use a HDMI cable for the Xbox but of course it has no sound for DVI to the TV. Unfortunately they make the HDMI and component cable plugs really close so that if you put the component/sound plug in it covers the HDMI hole unless you buy a special MS cord which is expensive. People have several solutions to this. One was to strip the cover off the component cable on the MS plug. There are pics on the net. The plastic cover is quite large but theres a metal one underneath thats smaller that still in place.Then a HDMI plug can fit too.

Other remedies include using MadCatz 3rd party plug thats supposed to be slim sold for around 15-20.

In my case luckily the Olevia had two component in sets so I just used that. The other one is used for my nephews PS2.
