Got a CORE or ARCADE XBOX360? Check this out!
So, I won a XBOX360 Arcade a year ago (from John's Incredible Pizza Company in Roseville, CA)
Now with the New Xbox Experience just being released, the Arcade doesn't have enough memory to download the 'upgrade' unless I want to use a large chunk of the memory card they included =(
I heard that CORE users were offered a $20 20GB HD Upgrade (+tax/free shipping) but that was just for CORE users (the predecessor to the ARCADE). However, I wasn't sure what they were they were going to offer ARCADE users since they are still selling the same unit this Christmas (albeit with an extra game or two) but I thought I would at least check.
So I fired up the eggzbox360 and got the console ID and serial number from the current interface, went to the XBOX360 Memory Upgrade page at xbox.com and entered the codes.
WOOHOO!!!! 20GB HD (refurb) Upgrade AND a 3 Month XBOX Live Gold card for $29.95 (+ tax / free shipping.)
Not a bad deal since the refurb HDs are going for about $50 and 3mo live is $14.95 I think.
I was thinking that I would have to spend $99 for the pretty cool 60GB HD Live Upgrade (includes headphones and 3 mo live)
So, if you hoof a CORE or ARCADE XBOX360 that you haven't already upgraded, grab the Console ID and Serial Number and head over to xbox.com!
I will post when it gets here. (and thanks to the person who paid for it!) *mogerhugs*
Oh.. I will also post soon how to use a $17 802.11G Router/AccessPoint from Frys as a XBOX360 WiFi Adapter. Works pretty well, but takes some work to get it to use some networks. The 'official' one is much easier to setup but it is also $99 MSRP!
.... any know where I can get an official Microsoft XBOX360 VGA cable cheap? I need one that also has the adapter to 3.5mm plug so I can use my speakers....
