    Hey,

    I figured we should have a sticky topic for this. Any kind of (limited offer?) bargain you find online should be collected in one topic (As in the link to it so others can benefit from it too)

    Since I could not find any topic like this I created this.

    So here is the first bargain:

    There is one bargain up at Amazon Germany now, orders within Europe might work.

    Starting from today until May 3rd you get the following stuff free with ANY XBOX 360 (model does not matter, normal, premium, arcade work):

    GTA 4
    HD-DVD Drive
    3 months of xbox live

    With the Arcade version you can score the console, gta4, hd dvd drive and 3 months of XBOX live for a mere 199 euros. Won't get much cheaper than that.

    You are saving about 139 Euros (Going by Amazon prices)

    Here is the overview:
    http://www.amazon.de/gp/feature.html/ref=pe_10821_10857371_as_img_9/?docId=1000172073

    Note: Prices update once you add them to the shopping cart.

    Also please take my apologies if there is no interest in this kind of topic, but I think its a great idea to share possible bargains with other members and I was in a happy mood and had mine already ordered, so please enjoy ;-)

    No, it's a great idea. Perhaps a 'BARGAIN' sticky should be submitted. You raise a good point as often people will point out things, but in various threads. Open to abuse from external influences so perhaps should only be available to those who have a 50 post count. Last thing you need is "Wow, look BARGAIN Telephones at spamyourwebsite dot com"

    I think bargain deals should be posted in the "Free Stuff" thread. Too many stickies in this forum already.

    While I do think that this forum does indeed have too many stickies, this IS a good idea. I personally have bought bargains people on the forum have tipped me off to, so having all the great deals in one place would make wasting my money all that much easier :)

    Yeah, as bargain are not free - generally. It might cause a bit of confusion. :banghead: I do agree that stickies need to be kept under control, however this is a good one!

    My two cents on that.
    On the one side it will help the market, on the other one it will bring consideration to the forums.

    Dude, you're reading that wrong. $350 is how much you save. The actual price is $1,449.98. A 40-inch 1080p display for $350 would be insane.

    Whoa, thanks for the tip.
    That is the first time that i seriously consider to buy a 360.
    Elite is still too expensive, but the arcade pack is very tempting...

    Just checked and it seems like gamestop has the same offer (currently only the elite bundle, arcade may be coming soon).

    This is a great idea, and a worthy sticky. :)

    Can a mod or ASSEMbler clean up some of the stickies? They are kind of getting to be a problem and some of them probably aren't necessary.

    Edit: Could a sub-forum (or whatever it's called) be made? That could clear things up.

    For instance, having a "Good Deals" forum with freebies, unbelievable trade or purchase, this thread, etc and also a "User Interaction" thread with threads like eBay and Yahoo japan, in addition to user feedback.

    The type of thread that is currently in the marketplace forum should stay there.

    Too bad I didn't see this earlier...
    Wanted to get the arcade one, but all that's left now is the elite 360 and I'm not paying EUR370 for that.

    [Edit]
    Phew, got one at last! They'll restock on arcade 360s on may 6th.
    I can't believe just how much i fell for the hype...
    The last time I felt like this must have been in winter 1994, I kept watching the Donkey Kong Country promotional tape over and over again for 2 weeks straight in anticipation of the game, anybody remember that one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op19NsIid44
    They're using an interesting prototype cartridge in that video, btw. Looks like the Powerfest 94 cart.
