From what I saw on the Xbox site you only get the three year warranty if your console RRD's, which mine hasn't. I just can't make out a damn thing on the screen.

"Any Xbox 360 customer who experiences a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights will now be covered by a three year warranty from date of purchase. All other existing Xbox 360 warranty policies remain in place."

Right now I figure I'll get my current one fixed and then sell it off to a relative and upgrade to one with hdmi.

That's the price JBHI-FI sell it for normally with Forza and VP.

Is this the less likely to break 360 because i'm considering this deal. And does my coles discount card work on this?

Back last Saturday (the 10th of November), BigW had a big sale along a similar vein. My good buddy picked up Guitar Hero 3 for $98, which is way cheaper than usual, but it was a one day only sale. It must be marketing pressure to encourage people to take the plunge and splurge on that gaming present.

Interesting that BigW and Kmart are owned by rival corporations (Woolworths and Myer), so maybe this is Myer's response to Woolies' push.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for more pre-christmas sales goodness... although, truth be told, it's often better to wait till after christmas for the sales. Anyway I can get some good gaming without my wallet hurting too much is a good thing.

I noticed in PALGNs bargain writeup today that Kmart also has this deal:
Sale Period: 08/11/07-28/11/07
Xbox 360 bundle (includes Xbox 360 Pro console with HDMI port, Viva Pinata game, Forza Motorsport 2 game and FEAR game): $538

so if you miss the deal today there's still this deal and with 1 more game

They also have mens shorts for $6. Shop around, you can’t beat that value.

Naturally I spot this ad the day after my out of warranty 360 starts putting green splotches all over the picture a week before Mass Effect and Assassin’s Creed come out. Decisions, decisions.

Thats a really great deal, which I would definitely be considering.

However, I'm horrible at making decisions so I think its best if I just stick to the one console. Also, my wallet and I had a discussion about the prices of games and moving house. We had a small fight and now my wallet is moving out. I just feel that games are better value than a house...
