Feel free to delete this if somebody's mentioned it already...

According to Anti-Rebate.com, Overstock.com is offering a 10% discount applicable to the Xbox 360, making the premium version $360. The coupon lasts until October 31, 11:59 pm.

Meanwhile, Overstock.com has a deal where a premium 360, purchased from now to October 20 (it doesn't say if the day itself counts), gets free shipping and a one month Live card:

Now, I'm not sure if this is good or not. Combined deals are usually a no-no, but I couldn't find anything on the site saying you had to choose between free shipping or 10% off (that is, I couldn't find anything saying that such deals are mutually exclusive). The shipping information pages are also fairly obtuse, so I'm not sure how much a 360 would ship for normally. Also, there's the sticky subject of the help page for Overstock.com's virtual coupons, saying it doesn't apply to orders consisting solely of "items found in the 'books, music, movies, & games' category." Is the 360 unit a "game?" I'll have to take Anti-Rebate.com's word that it isn't, and that, from reading you guys' forums, it looks like such deals from Overstock.com have been kosher before.

So, if any Cheap Ass Gamer can enlighten us on whether Overstock.com is offering a kick-ass deal, or just making an ass of itself, it would really kick the llama's ass. Any more information to help us ass-certain this, would be great. Thanks!
 
Hmmm, thanks.

Is it possible to backorder? Would the deal apply? And, does anyone know of the whereabouts of the 12% off coupon?
 
well I recently tried to buy a 360 on ebay but I guess it was lost in the mail, luckily the company is planning on refunding me so I am looking for a good deal towards one. I like the free shipping and one month live card but I have a xbox and the games that came with that usually gave you one month live as well, have they stoped doing this for 360 games?
 
Most 360 games, to my knowledge, don't include Live cards anymore, sorry.

Very good deal with the 12%, by the way, esp. since Overstock doesn't charge tax (with one or two exceptions based on state, methinks). I finally had the money so I jumped on this. Now I just have to (impatiently) wait.
 
Well it seems like everyone sees this as the prime time for people buying the 360. Buy.com has a deal, free shipping and 1 month live game card as well.

Toys R Us is also having a deal with $50 off any 360 value pack, read about it here

this expires the 21st! I think I'll go with this or the 12% Overstock.com deal, screw free shipping which I get with the other places and 1 month live gold card which was $8 bucks on xbox's site.
