I don't know why they would do that, the 360 is selling good!
Mabye there just retarded?

 

Maybe they are? Maybe their just looking to selling them because they don't sell?

Who knows?

Either way their idiots!

Yes, every store who has sales/special offers are idiots!!! We as customers like to pay full price and don't like to save money and get good deals. Why pay $100 when you can pay $200.

 

 

 Notice how I said they.

I was just looking through a Future Shop flyer and saw they are giving away Gears of War and the new Star Wars game with all pro and arcade units. Now why would a store give away two games, one thats a AAA title and sells for $40, and another one that just came out and sells for $60, when the 360 just had a price cut. If the systems are selling this would make no sense. So now you can basically buy the pro for $200, and the arcade for $100. You could always take the unopened games to Wal-mart and say they were a gift, and the store will most likely give you store credit.

Why can't the 360 outsell the Wii with these kinda deals.

 

Ask your self why the PS3 must put a AAA game with the PS3 in a bundle?

 

 

burninated... this really is the kind of rebuttle that makes the most sense though

Is this in canada only?



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

outselling the wii has become an impossibility for its competition regardless of costs it seems

They have these bundles all the time in Future Shop. Almost every month they try to bundle a new or old games with it. Yesterday I noticed guitar hero3 bundle/game free with the 360. Im in Canada btw.

 

This topic shouldn't have continued after this post ^ Future Shop and Best Buy in Canada ALWAYS have bundle deals on systems.

Not a good comparison.

General widsom dictates:

1. The 360 arguably has the best library amongst competing consoles. The PSP arguably doesn't.

2. The 360 is the cheapest console amongst its competitors. The PSP is the most expensive.

3. The 360 has a great christmas lineup and beyond. The PSP is in a gaming drout as confirmed by release schedule, Sony, and most PSP owners on this forum in several related topics.

4. The 360 just had a large price cut, and is giving away expensive games for free. The PSP isn't doing either thing.

5. The 360's main competitors, the Wii and PS3, both have problems of their own. The PSP's main competitor is one of the most successful consoles of all time, has 3rd party support beyond belief, an amazing library, is backwards compatable with the most successful console of all time, and is popular beyond belief in all regions.

So, once again, that's a very poor comparison. I can say that without getting into what each console "deserves" like we did in another topic.

They are trying to lure people to buy their 360 there... after this those people will think future shop is a great store and will buy 75% of their Xbox 360 games there.

 

But the store would need to sell atleast 8 games to each person to make this loss back.  Is this really a wise move, and if its a wise move then why would the store not give away equal deals to PS3 or wii buyers.

 

Future Shop is a store that makes pratically all its profit by hard selling in-store extended warranties. That's what they are trying to lure to people into - you come for the cheap deal but end up shelling out an extra $300 in warranties.

 

As for why they are doing this for the 360 and not the other consoles, I suspect they have found they have a much easier time pressuring 360 buyers into a warranty than the other two consoles, with the 360's history and all.
