Best Buy is offering $410 off the price of a Samsung HDTV when you purchase an Xbox 360 and Halo 3. (online only) Info here

You can choose a better TV or upgrade to an Elite or the Special edition 360 console, and you can upgrade to the version of Halo 3 you want, but it will only take $410 off. The discount appears when all three items are in the cart.

Let me guess, you found this at slickdeals?

That's not a bad deal, if you were in the market for that much stuff.

Nothing in life is free.

Let me guess, you woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning? It's right on the 360 page at BB.com, not some huge secret from another forum.

I'm pretty sure he said that because I posted the same post on Slickdeals, as if it's some sort of crime to post the same deal in two different places.

That's a damn good deal if you're looking into getting a new TV. I just bought a Samsung TV (one not on that list). Oh well.

Blech, 720p. You can probably do better elsewhere.

Qualifies for $100 in the NFL shop as well, is this an LCD?
Product Depth 13-1/4" without stand

Not really a discount. Once you knock off the $400 you are looking at the price you pay elsewhere. Some instances you save even more at other places.

Is already $600 cheaper on amazon.com with free shipping.

Do not EVER buy a DLP for gaming. The lag is unbearable.

Unless your viewing distance is under 7 feet 1080p will give you no benefit(at that screen size). This deal is actually not bad.


Wait scratch that this is only on dlp's s that. Why buy a tv that you cant turn on and off at a whim (Other than the expensive but nice led model). If you buy a dlp tv you pretty much have to watch at >1hr intervals to maintain bulb life with long breaks in between. Save your money get a 720p plasma for 800 and you'll come out ahead. (Bulbs cost around 300-400 a piece)

Maybe the case years ago, but not anymore. Most DLPs nowadays have taken care of that problem.

Agreed, I bought a 50" RCA Scenium the day the 360 launched and have never experienced any lag issues with my 360, PS2 or PS3.

How long do you think they will have this deal for.

Agreed. I have a 2006 56" model Samsung (5686w, I believe), and there's a "Game Mode" right in the option menu. I just set my HDMI and Component 1 inputs to Game Mode and there's no lag at all.

DLP is the best kind of TV for gaming in my opinion. I have a Feb 2006 56" Samsung DLP and it is amazing.

Bullshit. I've got a 14-month old 720p Samsung DLP, and I've never come across a noticeable hint of lag on either my 360 (through component, VGA, AND HDMI) or my Wii (running widescreen pro-scan through component).

Now, the overscan on my 360 through component and HDMI, that's annoying. Doesn't happen through VGA, though (coincidentally, my VGA input is broken and shades everything passing though it red...)

I agree with all the DLP owners here that said they have no lag. My Samsung 50" also uses the game mode and it is perfect. I bought my tv for $1800 last year and I would still recommend one for the $1200 price, specially if you get a free xbox 360!

If DLPs weren't shit, this would be a great deal.
