Best Buy TV + Xbox One deal

Post by Will T. » Sun Aug 09, 2015 2:04 pm

Best Buy has a pretty amazing deal this week - a 40" Samsung TV ($430) and a 500GB Xbox One ($350) together for $500. I ended up snagging this in order to have a TV for my (eventual) apartment, plus the recently-released Rare Replay provides an actual reason to want an XBone (the original N64 version of Conker's Bad Fur Day? Yes please!).

Just a heads-up for anyone going tech shopping who hasn't seen this yet. At the very least, you could get it for the TV and sell the console. :P

Is it just me or is the idea that a 40" tv is now $430 sound crazy? I can recall when that was $2000! (and it doesn't seem THAT long ago)

I'm guessing it's a SmartTV, otherwise it would be less than $250. That's about what I paid for my 39".

Sorry Ohnoes, did I forget the "get off my porch"? Usually I use the "kids these days" in class.


Back in my day we had a 20" box that was grainy and with a clicker to change the channel. When we wanted to go between the 3 of them. And we were happy with the range of choices.


Better?

Agreed, and I would hesitate to use a Smart TV even if it was free. I hate those things. TV prices have dropped through the floor of late, and it's great (though if you still insist on blowing money unnecessarily, you can always buy a 98" 4k screen for $39,000).

I love my smart TV.No more having to hook up a laptop or syncing a tablet with it to watch videos or Netflix. But I refuse to use it to "surf " the net.
