Want to step up your gaming with Kinect? Check put Pricematters’ deal on the Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor with Kinect Adventures – pay only $49.99 + shipping!

• Click here to get the Kinect Sensor + Game @ Pricematters (Expired)

Shipping depends on location.

I price compared with Amazon Canada which has this listed at $149.99 and on sale for $109.83. May I note: huge price difference. Even though Pricematters gives very little (like no) information on the product, it does not appear to be refurbished as they usually are pretty good at saying so. Even if it is refurbished – this is still a really awesome deal. You are paying 1/3rd of the original price and still over 1/2 off the current retail price.

For the Canadian long weekend Microsoft is allowing free access to its xBox Live Gold service.

• Click here for all the details on the Free xBox Live Gold Weekend

It’s good to be a Canadian on Victoria Day weekend because companies go bat-crap crazy and start pushing out some fantastic deals. This is one of them.

For the uninitiated, xBox Live Gold gives you access to all the cool online content the xBox offers. Online Multiplayer, youtube, VEVO, music, sports, movies, etc.. Just be aware that, while some of the services, such as Youtube, are free, some of them will cost you money to use. Microsoft is giving you free access to them, not free use of them.

This deal comes around different retailers (often BestBuy) every once in a while in one form or another, and always catches my eye. This particular deal is a free Xbox 360 with Kinect from Rogers if you activate two smart phones on select three year contracts. If you only activate one phone on a three year contract, you can get the xBox 360 with Kinect for $149.99.

• Click here to see more about this deal @ Rogers

The phones that seem to be offered are:

• Nokia Lumia 900
• HTC One X
• Samsung Galaxy S II LTE
• HTC Raider

I feel like I’ve said this before but even I, as a Playstation guy, would spring for this deal if the timing was right. The Xbox for free on its own is a good deal but adding Kinect in there seals it for me.

It should be noted that the advertisement says “Select” voice and data plans. They say it is with any couple or family plan but select could mean anything so watch out. You can check out the deal on the Rogers website or go to the store.

Amazon.ca has an amazing deal for all the gamers out there – a 4GB Xbox 360 for only $129.97 with free shipping. Regular price is $199.99. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am not a fan of the Xbox 360 (just because I’m a Playstation fanboy, not because the xBox 360 is bad) but at this price, even I’d buy one.

• Click here to get the deal @ Amazon.ca

To price compare, this same model is $199 at The Source, Sears, Best Buy, Future Shop, and Toys R Us. Great price from Amazon!

If you aren’t down with video game systems here are some quick points of interest:

• 4GB of storage
• Plays DVDs and lets you access xBox Live and other services such as Netflix (Fees may apply for services)
• Microsoft Kinect available

Graduation time is right around the corner and this would be a great gift for graduating or as an addition to a dorm room.

The Source Canada is offering a sweet family bundle right now for a limited time only.  This bundle is on sale for just $299.99.

• Click here to get the Family Bundle deal @ The Source Canada

Here is what you get with this Family Bundle deal:

• Xbox 360 4 GB console with Active Kinect
• 3 months Xbox LIVE Gold membership
• Built in Wi-Fi
• Kinect Sports game and Kinect Adventures game
• 1 controller

I did some price comparisons to some other stores and found it at Best buy and EB Games for the same price but they are already sold out. (I don’t think that they included the controller though like The Source does).  The other places I looked (Walmart, Sears, Tiger Direct) had similar bundles but with less games or for more money. This tells me that this bundle is in demand for being sold out so fast and is priced properly to sell. The only place I found it in stock at the several places I looked was The Source Canada.  If you are interested in this gaming bundle, check it out at The Source.

EBGames Canada has the Xbox 360 4GB Console on sale for $129.99. You can order online and get it shipped for free!

• Click here to get an Xbox 360 4GB Console from EBGames

I just went through checkout to check out the shipping costs, and you get free shipping – so certainly the best deal out there. Now other sites have the console on sale as well, most notably Amazon Canada, which has it priced at $134.99. However, EBGames is $5 cheaper than Amazon.

I also checked out BestBuy and Future Shop which matched EBGame’s price, but they were both SOLD OUT!

I think that this deal will sell out quickly as well, so if you want a nice XBOX console for a good price, check it out.

The Holiday Bundle is on sale for $359.97 (reg. $399.99). It includes a KINECT sensor, KINECT Adventure game, Carnival Games downloadable game, and a 3 month Xbox LIVE Gold membership.

Although the flyer doesn’t specify that this is an in store only deal, I couldn’t see any mention of it online and the Bundle is backordered for 2- 4 weeks online. The Bundle is also on sale at Future Shop for $349.99, a little cheaper, but doesn’t come with the added value of the $100 gift card.

Best Buy Canada has a new bundle up for the XBOX 360 250 GB. It comes with a game card – with Halo 3, Gears of War 2, Alan Wake, Fable III, and Halo Wars on it. It is listed at $299.99 but “A $30 discount will be applied to shopping cart automatically for all online orders. In-store pick-up orders will be charged $299.99 and receive the $30 gift card in store.”

• Get this great XBOX pack from Best Buy

So online it will cost you only $269.99 (and you get free shipping) but in store it will cost you $299.99 but you get a free $30 gift card. You will need an internet connection to download the games using the game card.

I have never had an Xbox, but I saw the Kinect being played at Best Buy a while ago, and it was really sweet. Suddenly I wanted one!

This offer goes through April 30th, 2011.

Thought I would post this one because I know there are a lot of gamers out there and having an additional controller is always nice! In my house we have a PS3, but this offer is for the XBOX owners out there. One of the Ebay Big Deals today is an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller priced at only $23.88 Can. with FREE shipping!

• Click here to get your Xbox Wireless Controller (Expired)

There are 73 left right now, 8 have already sold. Pick up is available in the Toronto area if you just NEED your controller!

Note: You will be charged tax.

We just bought a second controller for our PS3 and the darn thing was over $50! I wish they had this deal for PS3 controllers.

Both Best Buy and Future Shop are offering the same deal: with select HP laptops they are offering a FREE Xbox 360 console!

Just add one of the laptops found through the following link to your cart and the Xbox gets automatically added as well, at $0.00 cost!

• Click to select a qualifying HP Laptop on Best Buy with a FREE Xbox 360
• On Future Shop they are harder to find. Try browsing through these HP Laptops and looking for Envy and DM4 models.

The cheapest qualifying laptop I have found on Future Shop is $999.99 so far (same model as the $849.99 one on Best Buy). The cheapest qualifying laptop on Best Buy is $799.99. I checked out the price HP themselves were selling it for to see if Best Buy had jacked the price to make up for the freebie, and HP was selling it for the exact same price, without the free Xbox!

Best Buy also has this amazingly sweet deal that if you buy any laptop you can get this HP Deskjet All-In-One Inkjet Printer (F4480) originally priced at $109.99 for only $29.99. You can combine those offers.

So that leads me to Future Shop. They also have a similar offer: buy any laptop and you can get a $69.99 printer for $19.99. However it CANNOT be combined with the free Xbox so I was extremely disappointed.

To sum up: For this offer Best Buy rocks. You can combine both the Free Xbox and the really awesome All-in-One Printer for a sweet price and totally set yourself up!
