360 for $279.99 at BB

[KyleForMe]

Im not planning on buying a 360 anytime soon, but on another site someone was kind enough to share the BestBuy ad that will post this sunday (10/28)
Below is a link to the page that shows a $279.99 price for 360 arcade edition.

Yeah, the lack of a hard drive is a real killer for me.

Can you add an HD later? I know that I could just google, but then you 360 buffs dont get to flex your ego's :wink:
If you can add one later, then this seems like a killer new option. (yes I know about core system) I'm looking into both 360 and PS3 for GTA4 in the spring, and for me, a stripped down system will be enough. Besides my xbox 1's got a 100gig and all the media/systems i need.

You can add one later, but they are rediculously expensive for what you get.

$90 for a 20GB drive or around $170 for a 120GB drive. And no, you can't just use any old random hard drive you may have laying around unfortunately.

Yeah, non packaged hard-drives are extremely salty, however picking up a dead 360 drive off eBay and adding your own 2.5" (laptop) SATA laptop drive would be my choice. Even if you can't find a dead one, people are buying the 120GB replacements all the time and selling there smaller 20GB for much less than new. Personally I would want a dead drive and simply pull out the original and replace it with my choice of hardware along with saving a few bucks too.

That's an interesting idea, nice post!

Why not buy the pro then?
It's all around just better than the Arcade.
I see no point in the Arcade edition.

i bought a 20gb off ebay, worked fine but i think i got lucky, i bet alot of people are selling dead harddrives out there
