$99 XBOX with Kinect goes on sale today at Best Buy and Gamestop

You always know when the next gen consoles are hitting the market within a year because the old ones go on sale for $99. According to XBOX's Major Nelson, you can now get an XBOX 4GB with Kinect at Best Buy and Gamestop if print and bring a coupon from their site. Here is the link to the full article on Larry Hyrb's Blog:

and here is a link to the digital coupon:

$99 console program we launched with the Microsoft Store

Apparently you also have to buy a 2 year XBOX live subscription with the console so this might be a great gift for someone like a home from college student on someone who wants to try online console gaming.

Personally I think it is a bit overpriced if you HAVE to buy the 2 years of XBL at $14.99 a month.
In fact just today I found on eBay a 1 year XBL card for $34.99 and it is from a very reputable seller that I use all the time.

None the less, the fact that they are selling them for $99 plus the supposed "Leaked" info that we have all heard about makes me hopeful for a new and better console next year. I just hope that rumored $299 price will be true.

Second Test

A second test post. I doubt anyone is reading this as I haven't told anyone yet.

Got IAFF?

This is a test post for the blog. This will be a blog for gamers, like me, who are also members of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). I hope to have a full site with forums up soon but until then, look here for some great game reviews, previews, and scheduled game nights.

Thanks for visiting, brothers! Stay safe and stay low.
