this could be one of the simplest dumbest questions ive ever heard

best place?!? its price set so what exactly do you expect to get from somewhere like a red carpet and a parade when you come in?

as for the bundles look what they come with decide if you want to spend the difference

but go with a pro thats all you need

I've purchased 2 360 Pros and 1 360 Arcade.

2 of those 3 have died on me for different reasons. (no red ring)

BestBuy Warranty covered me. I was able to just bring the broken one in and walk out with a brand new 360.

I recommend BestBuy + Warranty.

I also recommend buying the Arcade version unless you want the headset to talk to the 7 million jerks that play online.

Buying the Arcade version over the Pro saves you money because you can buy 20 Gig hard drives online for 30 - 40 dollars and if you want to hook it up to an HDMI ready TV you can get HDMI cables online for 20 - 30 dollars

I believe the important warranty is the one that Microsoft provides, not the store. And I'll to agree with my friend uo there. Go PRO

Yea dude, I would go with Pro bundle. That's what I did and so far so good. I also bought Warranty from Best Buy and I love it. It's true that you can just walk in and walk right out with new one.

Get it from costco. its a little more expensive cause it comes with headset, another controller, play charge kit, and 2 games. Plus theres no return policy. It says theres a 90 day policy of electronics but its not considered an electronic. GO WITH COSTCO. RETURN IT WHENEVER YOU WANT!

Just wait for a traveling merchant to pass by your house. You might get a magical 360 that doesn't RRoD ;)

No, no, no, no, no. Get an in-store warranty. I've had two Xboxes fail on me. Both times, I went to my game store where I had an in-store warranty, swapped the broken one out for a new one, and was back up gaming in less than an hour. Compare that to all the people who had to wait for weeks to get one from Microsoft.

See, this guy agrees with me:

Circuit City. All consoles are 20% off. Caveat: all sales are final.

Your call.
