    Unless you needed an HDMI cable this isn't really a good deal since you would have to buy a lot of stuff to get over 100$.

    Why the shit would you buy Microsoft's ridiculously overpriced HDMI cable when you can get one from Monoprice for two dollars?

    This is basically "Buy a 120GB hard drive, get a free game". Which I'd do, except that if I was ever to get the big hard drive I'd just mod myself one and it'd come out cheaper.

    The wireless adapter...i picked that up so I might do this and I bought a second wireless controller so that covers my free game sweet, and I already have a 250gb drive in my 360

    Think I'll pick up LO, played everything else there

    I was going to decry my American location until I realized all the crap I would buy to make this deal, I already own.

    Yeah I'm not loving this offer, but thought it polite to share.

    I considered upgrading to rechargeable batteries but I added it up and I'd still be short. Something makes me want to buy that stupid mini keyboard but I'm trying to resist.

    Standard rechargable AAs are cheaper anyway, and if you get the right kind they hold their charge longer, both in use and idle.

    God knows, I do the same thing everytime I go near the 360 games section in an electronics store.

    "Hey, I could totally use this."
    *thinks for a minute*
    *recalls all the crap I bought and used only once*
    *puts back on shelf*

    I bought one the keypads. I don't regret it at all.

    It's especially handy for putting music on my 360.

    Too bad I own the three of those four games that I would have wanted. Otherwise this may have been a decent enough deal.

    Well I already have 4 controllers, a wireless adaptor, two recharge kits...

    Dont need a messenger set up or any of that crap...


    Wireless headset might be a good deal... that and I need a bigger HD, but I'll just get an Elite that has HDMI on it before I buy the stand alone hard drive.
