Free Xbox 360 with $700 or up Windows Laptop

I have gotten the coupon using my .edu email for the free Xbox 360 with a laptop purchase of $699 or higher from College Student Deals
but have seen that it says I need a valid student ID to get the deal. I have just graduated from high school and have not gone to orientation yet so I do not have a student ID from college yet. I have a high school student ID still. Does anybody know if they really check for IDs or if a high school ID would work? If not, there are other online places I can get the PC and get the laptop using only my .edu email, such as the Microsoft Store, HPDirect.com, NewEgg, and Dell.com and I will get a computer from one of those sources. I only wanted to get my laptop at BestBuy because I can g check out the laptop before I purchase it plus I hate waiting for shipping. I get impatient when having to wait for items ordered. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

As long as you have an acceptance letter and your .edu address.

I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

Student Deal: Free Xbox 360 with Windows PC Dilemna

So I just bought a Asus u46e for $729.99 from the Best Buy in Rochester, MN. However, when I tried to claim my free Xbox 360, the store clerk said that I had to order it from online. Is this correct, or has anyone heard otherwise?

Best Buy's participation in the promotion ended weeks ago.

Can I use xbox 360 with thunderbolt display

Is it possible to use an Xbox 360 with a thunderbolt display? If so, I need specifics of what I would need to do so.

Not unless your 360 has a TB port.

Open nat type for xbox 360 with wrt160n?

How can I open my nat type on the xbox 360 with my wrt160n?
Currently it is on moderate..........

I had this same problem, I had to enable three things. enable UPnP, enable Allow users to make congiguration changes, enable Allow users to disable internet access. You most likely have the first two I mentioned enabled but the last one is the one I didn't have enabled and once I enabled then I had open NAT

What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

Any printer that visibly supports OS X will work fine. My personal recommendation is Brother, followed rather distantly by Canon.
Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
The third and subsequent choices are so far down from those two they're not worth mentioning. I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.
Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs. Those features add very little to the price over a USB - only or wireless printer. Understand that not all wireless printers are AirPrint compatible - AirPrint must be specifically indicated. Choose among this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
After OS X compatibility, the next consideration should be the cost of consumables. Laser printers are cheaper than inkjets in that regard.
Here is a list of AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices

Problem streaming from Windows Media Center to XBOX 360 with Airports?

Good evening,
I have been having an issue trying to stream windows media center from my windows 7 ultimate (64 bit if that helps) to my Xbox 360. My network setup is:
I have an airport extreme (G) that is plugged into my cable modem and my windows 7 machine. In my living room I have an airport express that extends my wireless signal through out the house but my xbox 360 is plugged into it via ethernet. I have a very fast internet connection that is stable but any transfer between my computer and xbox is very limited it seems. I was wonder if there is a way to get this to work better. When I lunch windows media center on the xbox it sees my pc and it shows the available files but when I try and move from one to the other nothing happens and eventually I get a can't connect error. Would I be better off not connecting via ethernet to the airport express and just buying a wireless adapter?
Thanks

You don't say how your devices are connected, whether through your Verizon router or some other way. If through, say, an Actiontec then you may be having bottleneck issues. I used to run all my devices through my Actiontec and got poor transfer speeds (it only handles 10/100). Moving everything on my network to a 10/100/1000 switch helped my transfer speeds to shoot right up ten fold. This way only the switch gets connected to my Actiontec and my network devices can still get out on the 'net if needed.
It's ok to try to reinvent the wheel, but just make sure it's round.

Iphone 4 Video and Xbox 360 as my PC's Windows Media Center

I noticed that all video formats play perfectly over my Xbox 360 except for video shot with my iphone 4. It plays the video in slow motion while the audio is at regular speed. It's very annoying. Is their a fix for this or do I just need to convert the iphone 4 videos to h264 mp4, or regular mp4? Any quick fixes so I don't have to do the converting? When I play them on my HP they play just fine. I'm assuming it has something to do with the Xbox 360 not having an updated codec. Any ideas will be tried.
Thanks

I'm in the same Xbox 360 boat. I'm also amazed at the lack of information on this problem since the iPhone 4 has been out so long and the Xbox 360 received an update long after.
It has to be a codec issue since the Xbox 360 can play 1080p content. The iPhone 4 720p video can't be more intensive than 1080p.
While I'm at it why can't the Xbox 360 play iTunes Plus and iTunes Lossless audio, they're DRM free (I use Connect360 to get around the issue)? Seriously, Microsoft has to be doing it on purpose. Every attempt I've made to get this question answered has been met with a MS wall.

Most economical Xbox 360 with Madden Football game

I am a teacher and can't afford premium prices. In my school, there are lots of needy students and I would like to purchase needs and wants of a 10 year old boy. His needs will be around $100 but I haven't got a clue how to provide his want of an" Xbox 36" (I think he means Xbox 360) and a "Madden Football Game" to go with the Xbox. WHAT I AM ASKING IS FOR HELP IN GETTING THE BARE ESSENTIAL XBOX TO MEET THIS 10 YEAR OLD'S WANT WITH A MADDEN FOOTBALL GAME PLEASE. I don't have a clue how to shop for one or what is needed. I never play any video games because I just don't have time. My children are all grown, so I don't know how to shop for one. The prices I looked at on-line at the Best Buy site looked pretty steep but they talked about GB etc. and I don't know what all is needed (console, hand gear, head sets ?????) Please make a suggestion of a bare essential Xbox that would work with the Madden Football game so he could play it on Christmas morning. Thanks

4GB Xbox Slim is the cheapest one for new or you will have to buy the older model used.

Xbox 360 with a wireless a router.

I am not getting a good connection through my wrt54g router with my xbox 360 and I am wondering if a WRT54AG router would do the trick. I know it would probably do better with the windows xp 2005 media center. Any suggestions?

My firmware was already updated to 1.02.0 and I tried tweaking to those numbers but still no difference , could it be I need an A+G router? I don't know what else to do, it works fine when the 360 is connected to just my modem, I get a great connection then, but with my router I get disconnected from xbox live after a few minutes. Is there anything else I can do? thanks for your help.

No
...and could I get my old network communication speed back?

22" ADC to an Xbox 360 with HDMI output?

I have a 22" ADC Cinema Display, along with an Apple DVI->ADC adapter. Would I be able to connect my LCD to an Xbox 360 through HDMI to DVI (via an adapter)->DVI to ADC? The native resolution of my monitor is 1600x1024.
If so, what would be the necessary steps/equipment/settings?
I know there are HD scalers available through Gefen, but I would prefer to avoid this route if possible, as they are expensive.

thanks for the repply ..

Using Xbox 360 with MB Pro

I was wondering if it is possible to use the MacBook Pro display with my Xbox 360. I have tried hooking it up via the vga adapter, however this does not work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You can connect your X360 by using the Elgato EyeTV. You will have to resort to using composite cables, however. No HD support for externally connected devices.

Using Xbox 360 with iMac

Hello,
I was hoping someone might be able to tell me if there is anyway possible to use my iMac as a screen for my Xbox 360, and if not, will there be a way to do that in the near future?
Thank you
SpiredArc

hey,
i looked into this myself a while back. The elgato hybrid will enable you to play your xbox through the screen...however BEWARE... the quality of the picture is terrible. you will only be able to play your xbox on 50hz mode and even then the quality is worse than on a standard tele, let alone one with HD capabilities. i emailed elgato and asked why this was and they said:
"The EyeTV Hybrid has spotty PAL 60 support, so many X360 titles may have sync issues when played with the Hybrid. The EyeTV 250 plus has much better PAL 60 support, as it has slightly different hardware. None of our devices can capture and digitize the HD output from next-gen consoles. Consumer priced component and HDMI capture hardware hasn't really surfaced yet, so we can't make a device with those capabilities yet."
I hope this helps.

XBox 360 with an "n" usb adapter?

For the xbox 360 gamers out there--has anyone tried a wireless "n" usb adapter on the xbox so that it will be compatible with the "n" signal from the Airport Extreme? Or can the xbox 360 only use the proprietary xbox wireless adapter?

360 must use its proprietary adapter. Set Airport Extreme to use WPA security.
