Blockbuster.com has the Xbox 360 Elite Black Wireless Controller for $40 - 30% code holidaysurprise = $28 with free shipping. Controller lets you enjoy a 30-foot range and up to 40 hours of life on two AA batteries. [BizRate]
This code also applies to various other gaming accessories such as Wii Remotes, etc. I placed an order for a couple of Wii Remotes but there are considerable amount of posts on other deals sites that Blockbuster is notorious for taking orders, immediately charging the credit cards and either not shipping the product or taking a month or two in shipping. People have also said that they've had a lot of problems canceling orders.
Unfortunately I placed my orders before reading all of this and have noticed that my credit card has been charged but the orders are still sitting as "In Progress". I got my fingers crossed!
#2 This control should work on all xbox 360 systems. The elite basically means that it is black so that it matches with the color scheme of the 360 elite.
My order was just canceled. This is a really bad business practice on their side. I will definitely be moving to Netflix for movies and newegg for other items.
Did anyone have issues with Blockbuster after purchasing this controller? They took my order, and charged me immediately. Then I didn't hear from them for 2 weeks, and when I did they told me my order could not be completed because they were out of controllers and I would be receiving a refund. Well the refund was a penny short; it's like they're charging me a penny to lend them money for 2 weeks. The deal was an online special...how could they not know how many controllers they sold relative to what they had available? Do you really think Blockbuster has absolutely no more Xbox controllers? I'm not saying this is a scam, but it's definitely a unethical!

A pretty good price, considering this same remote usually is about $50 retail and it doesn't often go on sale for less than $10 off retail.
it does work on all systems. not a bad deal at all, actually
Promotion code dead!
I bought two. Great price.
Expired already, bummer.
is it expired or it still good ?
