Get $170 Gears 3 Epic Edition Free with Purchase of Xbox 360

Posted on Monday, August 29 @ 09:09:05 Eastern by


We swear, we're not in cahoots with Microsoft to sell you Xbox 360s

If for some reason that Walmart cock-up wasn't a good enough of a deal for you to buy an Xbox 360 from them, then here's one that is so good, I might just buy another Xbox 360 just to bank on retailer mistakes.

Toys'R'Us has a deal going right now where you can get a free game when you buy an Xbox 360 4GB Kinect Bundle, but they don't put a limit on what that free game can be. It can even be the $169.99 Gears of War 3 Epic Edition. That's a pretty epic free game. 

I can feel my blood boiling... it's too hard to pass up on a great deal like this. Not because I really want the Epic Edition of Gears 3, or because I want another Xbox 360 or Kinect - but because I know I could buy these and then resell them and make at least $100 profit.

Hmmmm... **scratches beard like an evil villain**

Seriously, though. If you plan to act on this, act now, because Toys'R'Us will be quick to catch on and change it. There's also a chance they could not honor the Gears 3 Epic Edition and force you to choose another game. But it's worth a shot, right?

    I think that happened when I bought a PS3 Slim bundled with COD:Black Ops from Amazon a few months ago, the price was 299.99, and the price for a PS3 Slim with no game or cool box artwork was... 295.99.

    But I don't really play CoD =/

    Thank you for the heads up on this deal; I just did it yesterday and am looking forward to my free Epic edition! Going to sell the Xbox 4gb but keep the Kinect; so no matter which way you look at it, it's a win.
