Gaming Deals of the Week

by Michael Geslani on November 2, 2007 at 9:34 pm

We will be posting a “deals of the week” column each week meant to help frugal gamers get the games and gadgets they love without breaking the bank.

Looking to buy an Xbox 360? Well, look no further because Microcenter is selling refurbished Xbox 360’s with 1 yr. exchange warranties for $229. Be aware that these are REFURBS, but Microcenter will honor it through their stores – meaning they will do the exchange themselves.

When you purchase this though, remember to mention the warranty to the sales associate. Also, take note that this 360 is the older version and does not include the built in HDMI input. If that doesn’t bother you then head over to your local Microcenter soon, because the deal is only good until Sunday, November 4th.

Want to make sure your Nintendo Wii gets from point A to point “Bii” safely? If you answered yes, then you’ll be happy to know that Buy.com is offering a Wii carrying case and charge station combo for $29.99 after $10 rebate.

First time Google Checkout users will receive another $10 off, brining the total to $19.99. Free shipping is available right now as well, and as a reminder, tax does apply to purchases made in CA, MA, and TN.

With Crysis on the horizon, many PC gamers are on the market for a new video card. The latest NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT has finally hit, and if you have a Fry’s Electronics around you, they are selling the 512MB PCI-E version for $229.99. This is the cheapest price we have seen for the newly released card. Specs include DirectX 10 compatibility, 2 Dual-Link DVI-I’s, and an HDTV + TV Out.

If you are looking for some great deals on games, Gamestop.com is offering 10 % off all new in-stock PC games including the extremely popular as Half-Life 2: Orange Box, and Clive Barker’s Jericho.

Simply proceed with your online purchase and enter the coupon code: NOV10PC when instructed, and the discount will appear. Shipping will ring in at $2.99, and the offer ends Thursday, November 15th. Taxes apply in most states. Check back next week for more deals.

    Ok,
    The nivida 8800GT is a godly video card and one of those will run all the latest PC games coming out this year and next, just make sure the rest of your system is up to spec:
    dual core CPU
    2GB RAM
    X-Fi sound card
