So it begins huh? You're not going to be bombarding us with "360 deals" right? I mean once you get into getting enough of the accessories for that thing, you find that it becomes REAL expensive REAL fast.

If you get this and the product added yesturday your total would be 220 after tax and possibly shipping. I hope you offer them a decently priced 360HDD because those prices are ridiculous and they'll need all the savings they can get.

I think what he's saying is that the XBox is a helluva deal because for about the same price, you also get a current-gen gaming console. Much in the same way you might buy a PS3 for the Blu-Ray.; Like this

Out of stock, I ordered one this morning and they emailed me right now saying the order was canceled.

When I called they told me that it was out of stock for this price, then he said just out of stock.

by rickbroida August 20, 2008 5:38 PM PDT: Hmmm... the site still lists them as "in stock." Weird.; Like this


by j_a_s_p_e_r August 20, 2008 7:36 PM PDT: I've had this happen more than once with eCost.com, they sell these deals then tell you no stock. I contacted them and they told me their website is out of sync; Like this


by rickbroida August 21, 2008 5:59 AM PDT: FWIW, I've made a concerted effort to post fewer eCost deals because of all the negative things I'm hearing about their site and service. Plus, they charge unreasonable (IMHO) shipping fees for small items like memory cards.; Like this


by jeitzen August 21, 2008 7:27 AM PDT: Maybe next time :P. I was really stoked though. They have one on geeks.com for a little more. You should check you their site from time to time, they always have good deals too.; Like this Reply to this comment
