I didn't say anything about it being $700. I said you can find it cheaper. I've seen this same thread on other boards already, and it was argued to death that this deal is not that great.
I don't get what you're saying, where can you find it cheaper? With the Xbox and Halo 3 at full price deducted, it makes the TV $700. Only place i found was Amazon at $1k shipped for the TV alone. It's not a great deal if you don't want the 360 and halo 3. But if you want the 360 and halo 3 and a 50" hdtv it's a great deal. And it was poor arguments made on the side of those saying it's not a great deal.

They have stated prices will be around LCDs and Plasmas, we'll just have to wait and see. If you set it at the right price come holiday season, it can take most of the market share away from Plasmas and LCD's, thus driving out the competition. I'm just stating things from what I read. We'll just have to wait and see.
Well those technologies wont be around for THIS holiday season, so maybe next...

OK, Here are quotes from this same thread on cheapassgamer.com:


Not really a discount. Once you knock off the $400 you are looking at the price you pay elsewhere. Some instances you save even more at other places.

Like this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8293376&type=product&id=1173577986348

Is already $600 cheaper on amazon.com with free shipping.
Well Amazon has it for $970 shipped:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HLT50...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1190211883&sr=1-4

Which is tax-free for me.

Best-Buy is $1163 shipped with tax for everything.

If I got back what everything I paid for the console and game, 1164 - 438 = $730 vs. $970, which is a good price for the TV. But odds are you'd only get a percentage of the console/game back, though.

Not the GREATEST deal, but I'd say it is worth it if you're in the market for everything, since it would be $1320 vs $1163.

Edited for bad math.
OK guys, I am figuring out how to squeeze the most out of this deal if some of you are still on the edge of buying, this might push you over. Here we go:

Start by adding your main bundle the one in the OP's post:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=category&id=pcmcat131300050003

- Samsung 50" DLP HDTV - $669.99 Free Shipping
- Microsoft - Xbox 360 Console System B4J-00107 - $349.99 Pick up in store for free shipping and to verify HDMI on the unit.
- Halo 3 - $59.99 Shipped free or pickup

- Microsoft - 1,600 Xbox Live Marketplace Points - $4.99 - Shipped free or pickup
This is only valid with halo 3 in your cart.

Ok here is an optional way to get $35 in gift cards for simply buying a Xbox Live sub card(i plan on selling the card for $40):

First, lets go to to

http://www.bestbuy.com/halo25

Since you've added a 360 and halo 3 all you need to add is:
- Microsoft Xbox Live Gold 13-Month Subscription with Collector's Series Halo 3 Card Design - $49.99 Backordered, so pick this up in store to qualify. You can also just order the regular 12 month subscription to qualify for this deal.

- Best Buy GC - $25 Gift Card - Free Shipping

Now just follow the link to
http://www.bestbuy.com/halo10

Add your $10 GC:
- Best Buy GC - $10 Gift Card - 0.00 Free Shipping

The 2 codes are showing as stacking for me, thus $35 in free GC's for purchasing a live subscription.

My grand total shows as $1,134.95 before tax

Don't forget your $100 gift to the NFL store by rebate.
And besides that, it's a 720p TV. You can get a 1080p for around the same price.

ha ha n oh yeah fuck best buy . . its all bout c city. . .
I agree, but not on this deal, it's fuck CC on this one. I checked CC and they had it for $1,099 just for the TV and no freebies.

Mask, it's a good ass deal if you're looking to buy a 360, halo 3 and an HDTV, one of your comments proved it. If you're going to buy a 360 and halo 3 at full price anyway, why not get it in a package and get a 50" DLP for $700?

"Not really a discount. Once you knock off the $400 you are looking at the price you pay elsewhere. Some instances you save even more at other places.

Ok, show me where you can get that specific TV for cheaper or around the same price, Amazon only has it for $100 cheaper and that's ONLY for the TV. That guy's argument is retarded, he's saying you can get TV's elsewhere cheaper than from BB, which has nothing to do with the deal. And he's using a comparison on a 1080p TV. Invalid.

"Well Amazon has it for $970 shipped:

Proves my point, the guy says it's worth it.

And the last quote was for??? He's just saying you can probably squeeze out some GC's from the deal.

Yeah it is a 720p, and you can probably (show me) get a 50" DLP 1080p for that price (cheap shit or refurbished) but you ain't getting a 360 with Halo 3 and 1,600 Xbox MP points. The deal's dead, sold out online.

I'm not trying to argue with you, smeezy. But for me, this deal was worthless. I already have a 360, I get my Microsoft points for free (as will all of you the next time they do the contest) and I have no intention whatsoever of buying Halo 3. And, as stated, I can get a better tv for the same or less price.

Imposible, seeing as Samsung doesnt make 42" TV's. My 40" cost $2000, and that was only 2 months ago.

I got ripped? Actually, i think YOU got ripped. I would never buy a Vizio in my life...those things suck ASS. Why do you think they are so CHEAP? My boy made the same mistake as you and even HE is disappointed in it.

When i comes to LCD HD TV's, you get what you pay for...simple as that. Why do you think Aquos are SO fuckin expensive? They are top of the line, thats why.

LOL @ me getting ripped off. I didnt do 2 months of research for nothing, little dude. Step your LCD TV game up, please.
