Deal of the Day: Xbox 360 Halo Reach Limited Edition Console
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Hot Deals, Microsoft, Video Games
We know that a lot of you are exciting about Halo: Reach, but for those super-fanatics, Microsoft has a limited edition Xbox 360 Halo: Reach console that we are featuring in the Deal of the Day for today. This is the new slim console, but rather than black, it’s silver. Along with the console, you also get a copy of Halo: Reach, and two wireless controllers along with headset. The console typically sells for $399, but with the Dell promo code you get $30 off the cost, which makes this thing a fantastic deal considering you are getting $419 worth of hardware and software in the package, and that the console is limited edition. You can order it now, and it will ship on September 14th alongside the release of Halo: Reach.

Deal of the Day: 4-week free Blockbuster Online (Blu-ray and games included!)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Home Entertainment, Hot Deals, Video Games
We like today’s Deal of the Day because it doesn’t really get much better than free. Today you can get a 4-week free trial to Blockbuster Total Access, the company’s Netflix competitor. What’s cool about this offer is that Blockbuster typically only allows for a 2-week trial, so this one is twice as long. Even better? They are including Blu-ray and video game rentals in the trial as well. So basically you get a free month of DVD, Blu-ray, and video game (Wii, Xbox 360, PS3) rentals by mail, and you get to keep 3 discs out at a time.

Bleeding Edge TV 353: Xbox 360 slim vs original Xbox 360
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: High Score, Design, Features, Microsoft, Podcasts, Video Games, Videocasts, Videos
When Microsoft announced the new Xbox 360 S at E3 2010, there were more questions than answers. Why release a new console? Is it just slimmer than the original Xbox 360? Should current Xbox 360 owners upgrade to the newer model? Well, we were able to get our hands on the new slim Xbox 360, and we aim to answer all those questions in this episode. We compare the new Xbox 360 up against the original model and run down all the various changes in the external appearance, the back panel connectors, and some of the internals. If you have anymore questions about the new model after viewing, just drop them in the comments.
You can pick up the Xbox 360 S at Amazon now.
Unboxing Live 059: Xbox 360 S
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Home Entertainment, Video Games, Videocasts
Microsoft announced the new Xbox 360 S last week at E3, and we were able to get our hands on one soon after to give you a look at all the goodness. As a refresher, the newly redesigned Xbox 360 is 35% thinner than the original, and features a glossy black exterior. It ships with a 250GB hard drive that’s been redesigned to fit into the new shape of the console, and it drops the memory card slots. Even better, it comes with built-in 802.11g/n Wi-Fi, so there is no need for any sort of external dongle accessory anymore. Hit the video for all the rest, but just know that you can pick up the new Xbox 360 now for $299.
