Ok all good. After taking a few mins to load after i selected AUSTRALIA, i managed to get it to work. You have to select the regeion first. Good on you MS. But like kingofwale said, no option for 512mb card. Its like they ran out. Ohwell.

EDIT: Oh and it was 25AUD, good to see we didn't get owned up the ass with the price conversion for once. =D Can't wait to get my 20gb HDD! Wonder how long it'll take. Lucky I didn't buy a 120gb for 150 lol. MS made me smile, its been a long time since they did that lol.



it's u.s only? it can't be, they're probably going to offer the deal to other regions later on.

how the hell do you run out? I guess it's not a "solution" then, just a "promotion".

 

I blame myself for getting my hopes up for expecting something nice from Microsoft. Who am I kidding here?

Doubt MS is losing money on this. Seeing there was no 512mb memory card that I could see, and the 20GB are refurbished. And 20 for a 20GB is hard losing money. But it is free shipping, so who knows.

@kingofwale, I didn't even see a 512mb card mentioned anywhere on the site, so maybe it never existed, who knows. But 25AUD for a 20gb HDD is a great deal anyway. I'm not going to complain.

okay, now I figured out the country option.

but hmmm... 30 bucks for 20GB? I will hardly use it. I think I will pass it for now

No 512MB option exists.

Only 20GB Refurbished HDD + 3 Months Live Gold for $29.99. Memory card would make no sense seeing as how the site clearly states that an HDD is required forthe new Xbox experience.

Soooo.....you just decided to bitch and moan for something that you said yourself your not going to use much?

seems logical I guess...


Not to mention most of the stuff you complained about is either: something you took out of context from what someone else typed, or you didn't read everything on the site.

well, I would LOVE to get the 512MB one, which I was misinformed about. So yes, I was whinning about that.

It's called "being a consumer and putting my own right up first.", not "being a fanboy so I must suck up to everything the company is doing".

Just wanted to put this out there.

Anyone think MS is going to take advantage of this offer and in next months NPD response say something like, "We have been seeing a healthy growth on XBox Live, we now have "X" amount of users with Gold accounts"?

Only because with this offer, which pretty much every arcade and/or core owner has almost no choice of declining since HDD is required now includes 3 months Gold subscription?

Just food for thought.
