Anyone in the market for a new PC? Pretty good deal here...if you're a student and buy a PC, then you can get a free Xbox 360 4 GB console. Anyone taken advantage of this offer? Do they send you the console in full retail packaging or is it a refurb? http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/home
I did it, I'm a grad student and my wife needed a new PC. She chose a Toshiba that just so happened to qualify, and within two days of receiving the PC we were sent a brand new Xbox 360. The only downside is that it only includes a 4GB hard drive...otherwise it's brand new, and just in time as my old 360 finally bit the dust.
There is no hard drive in the 4GB model. It is a small NAND board that is on a header inside the console. You can fit a normal (phat) xbox hard drive into a slim caddy (get one from dealextreme) and it will work. But you will have 2 storage devices in the console when selecting save locations etc.
It is a rather sexy console, I must say. I haven't used it much since getting it, fall semester starts soon and I'll be too busy. That is, until Skyrim is released, then I'll likely be on academic probation!
Soo...can I get a pos celeron laptop for $279 and get the 360? lol. My mother needs a laptop and I need a new 360.
I'm about to if the offer is still available. I need a new PC and then I'll be able to JTAG my old Xbox 360 since I'll have a new one.
