Deal of the Week: Best Buy tossing in Xbox 360 with select HDTVs

Video games are meant to be experienced with the most state-of-the-art television we can possibly find. The problem is HDTV penetration is not at its ideal level right now and some gamers are still playing in standard definition. Best Buy is looking to bring gamers into the realm of HD by offering bundles that include Xbox 360 Arcade Consoles and HDTV’s made by Panasonic.

At the end of Best Buy’s circular for October 11, 2008, are two deals shown side by side. The first is that Best Buy is selling a 32 in. LCD Panasonic 720p HDTV with the Xbox 360 Arcade console for $699. This deal will continue throughout the week until next Sunday (October 19, 2008) The Best Buy website lists a Panasonic television with similar specs for $699.99. I guess you can say we’re getting the Xbox for free.

The other bundle includes a Panasonic 42 in. Plasma 720p HDTV and the Xbox 360 Arcade for $899.99. A similar television on the site itself sells for $999.99.
