For $267 delivered you will get the Xbox 360 250GB plus one controller and 12 month Live Gold membership (you need to add that separately into the cart - it is not a bundle but no extra shipping is charged for this):

http://www.amazon.de/Xbox-360-Live-Gold-Monate/dp/B0049CZ0IC...

For $232 delivered you will just get the console and the controller.

For those of you not wanting Kinect bundles or bundles that only give you certain games (you may not want or have played before) I think this is a pretty good deal.

You can add extra controllers and/or games to the cart - it won't increase the postage - I just checked that. Also keep in mind that off any price you see the German VAT of 17.5 will be deducted thereby making the item cheaper. So for example, the extra wireless controller will cost you 22.10 Euro instead of 25.97 Euro.

The prices stated are the prices you will pay (plus whatever your bank will charge for credit card use) and it includes delivery. German VAT will be deducted one step before submitting the order (in the review of the order) - so do not panic!

  No, I have got a nice little information source which provides me with all the goodies from Amazon Germany, Italy, Spain, and Germany - unfortunately Germany is the best one for deals and most lenient with sending to OZ. ;-)

Sorry, proprietary. Sharing would get me into much trouble and cause me to lose my job as it is a piece of research not yet published.

    Great - why don't you post them. Saves me the effort. Statements after the fact are always quickly made, right? ;-)

      The deal isn't great hence the low votes, tbh looking at this deal, the walkman and the galaxy tab you posted I'd suggest you work on your secret doo-hicky a bit more…
      
      Thanks for trying though.

      I'm assuming the people negging your comments really aren't enjoying your attitude, Gallifrey. When you jump on the "super-secret proprietary technology" high-horse you tend to get the general population of Ozbargain offside. Especially when your super-secret tech leads your to an extremely average tablet deal (and you proceed to have a shitty attitude in that deal post as well, regardless of the six negative votes). Pull your head in and be humble, man.

      Maybe you should work on your lense issues - seems to cloud your vision a bit. The point of research and tests is to make it better. If it worked perfectly first time that would be great. Maybe a bit of gratefulness for the people who post and try to post deals here (whether they are useful to you or not) would be good for you instead of whining, whinging, complaining, being destructive etc.
      And high horse? I am being honest. What do you want me to say - f… off? None of business? I mean how can being honest be wrong here.
      Besides, I am trying to do people a favour - I do not need to be insulted by people like you or anybody else. People like you forget that people here do not get paid to post deals and do research on prices. That being the case more gratitude from the beneficiaries like you could be expected in a civilised and educated society.

      Uh huh, anyone can consistently post poor deals by trawling Amazon, you just do it and act like you're doing everyone a favor.

  Never seen it that low. Might be a mistake. Also, an old price is useless if you want to buy something now and cannot get the old price again.
neil on 01/08/2012 - 10:55 ¶

Looking at Camelx3, I would hold off on buying for a week or so. The trend is swaying towards a 30€ ($35AUD) price drop. Can't read German so don't know what the deal with the live & controller bundling is.
- Gallifrey on 01/08/2012 - 10:59 ¶
  
  There is no bundling. What I am saying is if you add extra things the postage will still be only 14 Euros. So if you buy one thing or four postage is the same making the items cheaper as postage is then spread over more items.
  As for the pricedrop: the PS3 dropped to 209 for a few days, then went back up to 239 and then came down to 214 where it has been ever since. Hoping for a price drop is optimistic - there is a level below which things cannot and won't be sold as it is cheaper for companies to simply not manufacture and/or sell.

    Ah OK, understand. Amazing how postage is so cheap. Bought a few coffee machines from Amazon.it, 20€ delivered in 4 days. Can't imagine the same thing in Australia.
    
    Statistically speaking, since May of this year,
    the price has been ~220€ 6 times
    ~200€ 5 times
    1 time ~245€ and one time ~190€
    
    It's at ~220€ now so it's more than likely going to hit ~200€. Doesn't Microsoft make a loss off of every console and make it back in games/xbox live? Don't think the selling/manufacturing below cost argument is applicable to consoles.
    
    &tldr; Graph says wait a week.

      Maybe but if it's several months the few bucks saved do ot make up forgoing the entertainment for the kids for that time (plus other entertainment such as bowling etc. will end up costing you more than what you saved). ;-)
    - googolplex on 01/08/2012 - 12:08 ¶
      
      LOL, this is OzBargain. We go to extra lengths to save a few dollars.
      
      More than likely there will be other OzB deals to keep the kids occupied in the mean time while we wait for the deal :D
    - Gallifrey on 02/08/2012 - 08:53 ¶
      
      But those deals also cost something. Might as well use those dollars to getting the Xbox now rather than in a couple of months. If I spend $10 a weekend for kids entertainment and in two months the price drops to $210 then I will have paid more (80 versus 57).

Do Microsoft provide a local Australian warranty when purchasing from Amazon Germany or does it need to be shipped back to Germany?

  Gallifrey on 01/08/2012 - 11:08 ¶
  
  You would have to check with Microsoft for that or google it. The good thing is though that warranty in Germany is 2 years and Amazon will refund you the postage for sending it back.
