i would have bought the condition 6 Uncharted bundle if i haven't already bought a condition 5 AC3 bundle a few days ago from cowboom. now i don't need any more consoles (have Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP, Vita, PS3). waiting for the PS4 announcement next week!
|
How do I have 3 vitas in my cart and can't get rid of them? Wth

Links for the Vita?
|
Quote:
it is missing the manuals and 1 month PS+ membership though. |
All i'm seeing is DSI, and PS2's.
|
Quote:
I wanted the AC3 bundle as well, but I guess I'll settle for the Uncharted 3 one. (I already have the game.) |
Quote:
|
Dam, saw a 6 condition 3DS and was searching for a better one and missed it.
|
Is that a good price for a Vita? I kind of want one but I'm not exactly crazy to get one either...
|
Anyone see the Vita again, that is what I am interested in. i dislike how their flash sale doesn't update all the time because some people say they see something and some people may never see it even if they are always refreshing.

I only saw 1 vita and it was a white wifi for $130
|
I hope there's a PSP Go
|
Everything is selling out fast. I scrolled all the way to the bottom and found a good 250gb 360 with everything except owners manual for $139.99 and it was gone. I should have clicked the cow boomer link when I was first to post on this post.

|
A handful of condition 4 vitas.
|
I want the Vita after my last job gave me one to use as a demo.
|
Just bought a condition 5 Vita, thanks OP! Anyone with experience with cowboom products before, how good can I expect this condition 5 Vita to be in?
|
Quote:
Link please? I don't see it. |
OMG, they have the RED Wii console, I always wanted this one and never got to buy it, going to buy it and sell my black one.
Quote:
|
No you will not sway me with your $34.99 DSi cowboom. I must resist....
|
I only see the ps2 and Dsi... even if I refresh. Am I doing something wrong here? hmmm....
|
DSi is tempting for me, even though I want a 3DS, I can't find another one that is grade 6!
|
they dont ship the accessories and make u to run behind them for many days. at the end, u will get frustrated and return the item. very bad experience.
|
Quote:
some have accessories, some dosen't return is hassle free. |
Does the Vita play PSP backups?
|
Quote:
|
The White Vita at $135 is a great deal, this is the Assassin's Creed 3 bundle that only came out a few months ago. If it a grade 5 I really don't know how anyone can beat up a system that fast.
|
Quote:
|
PS2 for $29.99 isnt bad. Works as a dvd player also
|
The Red Wii is a good deal because the game it comes with costs $45 or more used.
|
Last time there was a Vita thread, I snagged a 6 for $140. Now I'm considering getting a 5 for $30 and hoping it's in good shape, then sending the 6 back. Thoughts?
|
Have grade 6 3ds's come up at all?
|
i had a condition 6 uncharted 3 ps3 bundle in cart. showed included everything including the ps plus. after i pay, the invoice shows missing power cable and ps plus. double check your invoices.
|
Quote:
I have bought items at grade 5 which looked completely brand new. |
What are you guys seeing? all I see is a ps2 for 30 bucks!
|
Just realized I have to pay tax :(

Saw one, i just missed it cuz I was searching for a better one. All 4's and 5's. |
Quote:
|
No good 360 or 3ds deals :(
|
Quote:
|
Man those 80 bucks Xbox 360 are really tempting. Thinking of just selling my slim 360 now then buy one of these Xbox for now and save up for the upcoming next gen console.
|
watch out when buying the wii. I bought one during a flash sale, and it came with no controllers, so i had to buy my own, which adds to the cost
|
Quote:
You have the fat, slim and super slim in ps3. There are a lot of steals for the uncharted and far cry bundles in this sale. Go for the biggest hard drive remember, ps3's are also 3d bluray players Xbox 360 just buy the cheapest slim Wii go for the Mario bundle Basically all theses systems are good. Games are dirt cheap used and you as a late adopter can buy a full game library for pennies on the dollar that will keep you playing for years. |

last sale i ordered a grade 4 xbox 360 4gb kinect bundle with everything except manuals and game for 145 shipped and it came with a 250 hard drive inside :) and even tho its a grade 4 it is like brand new... i have no probelm ordering anything from them again
|
Is it bad we have every one of these handhelds/ Consoles- Xbox 360 ( we have the orginal xbox but it is in storage) Nintendo DS, 3DS, Wii, Wii U, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, PS3, PS2, Atari, PSP GO, Vita and I think thats it

Do I need Xbox slim to play dance central or just an Xbox 360?

Looks like they need to start dumping stock before the rest of the next gen systems launch.

Were there any controller/kinect deals on cowboom? |
Finally made my first cowboom purchase after seeing these posts get so much attention. Condition 5 black dsi with only stylus and manual missing. Hoping that this meets my expectations of what I've been hearing on these threads!!!
|
$93 for 3ds, anyone think that a grade 4 that comes with everything besides a SD card and the stylus decent?

Quote:
The Xbox 360 S models are all safe from a reliability perspective, as should any of the later revisions of the original 360. I'm not sure how to identify which chipset is in which though based on the cowboom listings alone. If the description provides a SKU you could google it. It's worth noting that for most intents and purposes, you'll find the same third-party games on both consoles with negligible differences (most third-party games run ever so slightly better on the 360, but to the point where you'd probably never notice the difference unless you read about a direct comparison). The PS3, however, has a few discernible advantages, in my opinion: online gaming, as well as accessing your Netflix account, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. are free on the PS3, while Microsoft requires Xbox Live Gold to access those features on the 360. If you buy a 12-month sub on slickdeals, this will run you $35-40. Also, the PS3 has a stronger exclusive software lineup (again, IMO), including the Uncharted Series, God of War, Gran Turismo, and more. It also has The Last Of Us coming out in June, which may be a GOTY contender. The Xbox 360's biggest exclusives are the Halo series, Gears of War, and Forza. As far as multimedia capabilities are concerned, I actually think the PS3 is slightly ahead of the Xbox because it's a blu-ray player, and is basically the same as an Xbox 360 with Gold for everything else. Additionally, the PS3 has a slightly faster interface than the Xbox 360, although both are painfully slow when compared to an Apple TV, any modern smartphone, a PC, etc. etc. The Xbox 360 could have had a leg up on the PS3 with Xbox smartplay integration with Windows 8 and iOS/Android smartphone apps, but from my experience it's so poorly implemented, slow, and clunky that you'll probably give up on using it quickly. |

So 110 for xbox 360 old model with everything but headset and manual should I pull the trigger?
|
promo code cannot be applied to a ps3 because its deal of the day?
|
Do all PS3's work with Move? I was going to buy a second blu ray player for the house but thinking maybe I should get PS3 instead.

I wouldn't base my decision on the 360's unfriendliness in that regard. However, I would base it on the PS3's free to use media capabilities, blu-ray playback and online gaming, as well as the stronger software lineup, provided that you can live without Halo, Gears of War, and Forza. EDIT: And also provided that you don't care about Kinect. There are other situations in which some people might get some use out of a larger hard drive, but almost all of them involve gamers who are fairly hardcore and have owned one or both consoles for years. |

As someone mentioned there is a ton of stuff behind the xbox live gold paywall but as long as you are getting it for cheap on slickdeals it is worth it if you use those features. I actually use my 360 as total media device from playing games, streaming stuff off netflix/xfinity/crackle, streaming stuff off my network, and as a HD cable receiver by using it as a windows media center extender. Basically have a HTPC using an HD homerun prime with windows media center and use it as a DVR but can use the 360's on the network to stream recordings, live tv, set recordings, etc. just like a cable box. PS3 is great and has nice exclusives, and if you get one get PS+ as you can get a ton of games to play for free each month. |

FYI Sony is making a big announcement this month.
Still, $109 seems pretty cheap. Quote:
yeah, but you need the camera and the move controllers, and other optional move controllers to go along with the move controller. |

Quote:

Any good reason why I should upgrade to the super slim 250gb? i personally love the touch buttons and the bluray drive on the phat one. dont like the new door u have to slide then put game in. |

If the accessories are NOT part of the item to begin with, you must factor that in. Put in your cart and keep refreshing, and while you are doing that, go on eBay and Amazon and price out what the replacement cost will be. Are the savings worth it? I bought a Vita tonight that was missing a USB cable, no biggie I can replace that for a few bucks. But if it were missing the battery? No way. Cowboom does factor the cost of the missing accessories SOMETIMES into their low prices - I saw a CHEAP Asus i5 today but when I investigated and saw it was missing the battery AND AC adapter, I decided to pass. Even with a bargain, I'm still looking at $50 in added costs. |
What was the wii mario or wii kart selling for?
|
Damn...would've liked to pick up a DSi for $34.99 (someone mentioned that earlier in the thread??) but it seems to be gone. How does this website work??
|
Blah, looks like I missed out on the 3DS ... Sad
Quote:
|
All I see is a blue Dsi for $35.

Ah, thanks! I see it has "significant scratches or scuffs" and comes with no charger or stylus. Anyone have experience with a level 4 item?? Are they in pretty bad condition? |

If you're using it mainly as a Blu-Ray player, do yourself a favor and invest ~$20 in the Sony Blu-Ray remote. It's way better than using the controller, and the batteries last forever with the Bluetooth connection. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6879261335 You also can't program a Harmony to function as a PS3 remote without buying a separate Harmony adapter. Since the Harmony uses infrared and the PS3 uses Bluetooth, a USB infrared dongle is needed. |
I got the super slim ps3 250gb grade 6 and a 320gb grade 4 for 139.99 each + tax
|
Finally got a level 5 DSi w/AC adapter. Thanks OP and those who answered my questions!

Edit: Does it work with the Slim? Contrasting and/or old reviews.. |
I guess they aren't putting the ps3 up as a deal of day sale. That's the one thing I really wanted. :(

Yes it said included a dualshock3 controller which to me is important cause I dont want them sticking one of those old nondualshock in there |
For anyone who bought the pre-owned Blue or Black 3DS: You might have a console that is in the Ambassador program.You get 20 free games if so. That's what happened with mine!
When you get it go to the Nintendo e-shop. Scroll left until you see settings. Select that. Then hit view your downloads. http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/...ssador.jsp |

those that bought the ps3, what was the firmware?
|
Bah, nothing but different variations of Wii's for me every time i refresh.
|
Finally managed to grab a category 5 80gb ps3 for $119. It came up to $136 after taxes and shipping.
|
All I've seen for the last 40 minutes if different versions of the wii. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Some advice por favor.
I'm tired of paying for Xbox live just to use Netflix on my XBOX360 so I was interested in buying a Wii. I have a couple of questions. 1. Does the wii have good netflix support? 2. Does it support DLNA (Streaming from my home PC running tversity) 3. I'd like the option if possbile to hack the Wii for homebrew. If I were to buy one from cowboom is there anything specific to look out for? Thanks to anyone who answers any of these questions. I havn't played a Wii since they originally were released. |
Quote:
This should answer alot of your questions. Read all 11 pages!! |
I got a confirmation from Amazon Payments but never received any kind of e-mail from Cowboom. Is that normal...?
|
Quote:
Yeah that's normal sometimes they dont send it.Just log into cowboom and you can check the status of the order anytime and you can print the invoice. |

A bunch of grade 6 $130 blue/black 3DS XL's are up right now with everything but the SD card.
EDIT: just wanted to give a reminder, new users can use the code: urlhasbeenblockeds5 for $5 off a $50 order. Mine came out to $136.98 with CA sales tax. |
how can i cancel my order? email them?
|
Quote:
|
Dang...missed out on the 3DS XL deal. Been waiting for ever for a good deal on one!
Edit: Just checked and two were in, one a grade 6 and one a grade 5. Grabbed the grade 6 for $138 total! So excited! |
First of all, I apologize to all of you for being a n00b, but exactly what is a "Console Flash"?
I thank you all in advance for your trouble in trying to educate me---because after reading this thread---I think I might be interested in a PS3 "Console Flash" just for the Blu-Ray; I don't play any games whatsoever. EDIT: I'm also interested in the "streaming" stuff that has been previously mentioned; like Netflix, Xfinity, Crackle, Apple TV, WD TV, Roku, etc. Sincerely, eloqutus |

noeddy,
Thanks for the quick correction!!! YES, I guess I meant a PS3 "Console Flash" instead of a Wii "Console Flash." I have corrected my original post to say "PS3." |
Quote:
consoles at a great discounted price (used of course) and with a great return police if you dont like it and you dont pay the return shipping either |
noeddy,
Thanks for that great info! But I still do not know the difference between a PS3 "Console Flash" as opposed to just a "regular" PS3 gaming console? |

But can I "stream" stuff---with a PS3---that has been previously mentioned; like Netflix, Xfinity, Crackle, Apple TV, WDTV, Roku, etc. :confused: Sincerely, eloqutus |

FYI people, Cowboom is really slow to ship stuff. I ordered a PS3 bundle on Friday afternoon the 8th and didn't get a tracking # until Tuesday the 12th. And I still don't have it yet, hopefully tomorrow.
Got the 250gb Infamous PS3 bundle for $159+tax. Getting impatient, but willing to suffer since it was a good deal. |
Quote:
|
Quote:
90% of things I ordered are shipped within 12 hours of purchase. if you bought it on Friday afternoon, its the same as buying it on Monday and thus shipped on Tuesday. |
Quote:
When I order stuff from Newegg on Friday I usually get the ship notice on Sat or Mon AM at the latest. Even so, it was a good deal and as long as it's in good shape and everything works OK I will be happy. |
100 shipped w/tax for a 3DS.... Not bad for one rated at a 6 and has all of the accessories.
|

Thanks for your response! Can anyone point me to an EXHAUSTIVE list of Service Providers for "streaming" content—whether Free or Fee-based—and it doesn't matter if the list contains Providers' who's service is not available and/or compatible with the PS3? I'm just thinking that since I'm not a gamer, I maybe should just go with a Blu-Ray player with the most options for Service Providers. Since you all have already made me aware of... 01 Amazon Instant Video 02 Apple TV 03 Crackle 04 ESPN3 05 HBO Go 06 Netflix 07 Roku 08 Vudu 09 WDTV, and 10 Xfinity ...I'm just wondering what other Service Providers are out there—especially FREE or practically FREE ones—but I'm really interested in ALL of the offerings at present? I thank you all in advance for your efforts in helping a "n00b" like myself :) |

crackle is free.... and your going to pay around 50-100 for a blu ray player with wifi why not pay 100$ for a ps3 and have the option to play video games if you ever want to play...... netflix seems to be everyones choice |
Ordered a PS Vita 3g for a total of $137.79 just now. Condition 5, and said it has "minor signs of use." I've never used Cowboom before.
|
Got my PS3 today. It was "condition 5". The controller looks new. The unit looks like it has been used (some dust, fingerprints and smudges) but I cleaned both with a little fantastic on a rag and looks almost new. Works great. The 4 included games were sealed and untouched.
It was worth the wait! |
Quote:
I charged it up and used it a bit. The battery seems as good as new, the screen has no dead pixels, and the cameras/wifi/3G/GPS all work fine. So overall I'm very happy with the condition of the console and will definitely keep an eye on Cowboom in the future. "Condition 5" is high end refurb quality. |
