It seems the Playstation 3 is not the only console getting an unofficial price cut forcefully thrust upon it like mutated genitalia in a Wes Craven remake; as seen in this week's Shop Rite special offers, the Xbox 360 Premium is available for $50 off the normal price.
This isn't nearly as big as Best Buy and Circuit City trying to give away PS3's for free to get the damned things off their shelves, but it's always the ma and pas that end up letting something slip before a big official announcement. Either this is a hint at a price drop to come at E3, or it's just a good deal. Either way I'm completely offended, Failure to Launch is worth sooo much more than $5.99! It's priceless, really.
I've personally never heard of Shop Rite since I have electricity and don't live in an adobe, but resident chalktoid Raspberry Jowels not only shops there, he's their grandmaster (of savings, I'm guessing).
And yes, that Wes Craven link leads exactly where you think it does.

Consider that you get the TV, a PS3, a game, a BluRay movie, and five free BluRay movies ontop of that. It's a pretty decent haul actually. Now if only someone could convince me that I need a 3rd HDTV and that I actually have $2,000 saved somewhere...
Oh, and that the PS3 would be worth the money.
I can't wait till cheap BluRay players come out and then I can stop all this internal struggle over getting a PS3. A cheap BluRay player would solve all my problems. MS? You guys planning on killing HD DVD yet?
There's a limit of 4 Xbox 360's per person, people, move along, nothing to see here.
Ohh! Giant plastic tubs only $6.99?! Oh, a limit of 6? WTF?!
They should change their name to RATIONCITY!
My grandfather actually helped start shoprite after he got back from WWII, its a chain of supermarkets that are heavily saturated in NJ and more sporadically throughout other east coast states. sadly, i did grow up in an adobe. but shoprite did pay for my college and in a wierd sort of way is helping me publish my first graphic novel, which is awesome. I don't think i took offense to this, but i did just get out a long drunk argument trying to convince my roommate that Lord of War is in fact a bad movie.
Lord of War a bad movie? Respectfully disagree with you there sir. :)
I live in LA, and therefore anything that isn't California, Las Vegas, or Tokyo is BFE to me. It's the internet, I don't have to make sense.
I of course didn't mean you, I meant all the other nerds ...
@Orcist
I agree with you, I'm just not gonna tell my roommate that, and will eventually force him to capitulate.
And Jared Leto is definitely a total douche.
Right off the bat I was like "Okay, this is gonna be one of those movies with clever ideas and half-assed attempts at creating them on-screen." Plus, you know... Nic Cage.
So yeah, I'm that guy.
I liked The Weatherman a lot too. In part because Nic Cage's character gets shit on the entire film, but mainly because Michael Caine is excellent in it.
I liked the weatherman as well, found it to be a great dvd watch at home. But more importantly, because, yes, Michael Caine is just amazing to watch and he was a great part of that film. And now, with the Mickey Caine in Batman Begins and The prestige, one can barely wait to see the win that is the dark knight. Interesting side note, i heard that the next superman is gonna be called "the man of steel" But seriously, price drops.
