      Unless of course you have an eternet cable, headset, or a HDD. Then it is just a waste of money.

        Tbh, I'd be more than happy paying $99 just for the HDD.

          I'm from Scotland, we'd probably be paying double that.

          You'll likely be paying double the $99 as well because, again, you are in scotland.

          Dude what is you're problem with gamestop? Yes they may have bad prices, new games that are opened, and horrible employees, but......wait I don't have a but. Anyways this story is good for someone who either has an arcade or wants to buy one. And this is a more helpful story than most others posted on GG.

          Who said I have a problem with gamestop? All im saying is back in the day(last year) having a source of gamestop or amazon wasn't allowed for submitting articles. Its how I was always taught by Enhance and the other approvers and mods. Its just doesn't feel the same as it was. Thats all.

    Mannn. Seriously? I just bought a headset and a year's worth of Live. This is almost as bad as buying my 360 and HDD the day the price cuts were announced a couple months ago. D:

    Oh well, still a pretty good deal, I must say.
