Fry’s Reneges on $370 Xbox 360 bundle, Offers Same Thing for $470

Posted by Michael Cardiff Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Rumors, Xbox 360,

For all of you out there wondering whether your $370 Xbox bundle we reported on earlier is ever going to arrive, I got the answer in my Inbox the other day:

Thank you for your recent Frys.com order.  Unfortunately, a clerical error was made during the composition of the Ad for an item contained in order # XXXXXXXX Due to the error we will be unable to fulfill your request. Your order has been cancelled. Please note that your credit card has not been charged.  For further assistance you may contact us by phone at 1-877-688-7678 or Email at service@outpost.com

Additional information regarding errors and omissions policy can be obtained at:

We apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused.

In other words: “Whoopsie! But now that we have your attention, want to pay $100 more for the same thing?”

The whole fiasco just leaves a bad taste in my mouth… color me naive, but shouldn’t retailers have to honor their listed prices whether or not it’s a screw-up on their end? I can’t imagine this kind of bait-n-switch happening in an actual brick-and-mortar store. On the other hand, an Xbox 360 Platinum bundle with 3 games for $449 is still a pretty good deal, so we’ve included the link in case you’re still interested.

Best Xbox 360 Deal Yet - Platinum 360 + 3 games: $370

Posted by Michael Cardiff Categories: Action, Adventure, Driving, Hot Deals, Xbox 360, Xbox Live, Xbox Live Arcade,

Fry’s has possibly the best deal yet on an Xbox 360 system, for all of you out there mulling over your next-gen console choices. For $370 (shipping included!), you can get the Xbox 360 Platinum console with 3 free games. But these aren’t just any 3 games - the games you’ll find packed-in with your system are three of the best and most well-reviewed 360 titles out there: Dead Rising, Saint’s Row, and Test Drive: Unlimited.

This deal can only be found online at Fry’s Outpost and doesn’t appear to be available in their brick-n-mortar stores yet, so be prepared for this one to go fast. We’re betting that this is part of a broader strategy by Microsoft to find a competitive new price point / package for their year-old console, so we may be seeing this deal or something like it again in the future. Still, if you’ve been thinking about getting a 360, don’t take the chance of missing out on this one!

Special thanks to SlickDeals.net for finding this one!
