Don’t forget the Midwest Gaming Classic!


Olympia Resort, the location of the excitement. (Those lamps are very Helmut Ajango…)

It’s only 1 month away now! We’re doing a thing called the “Benheck.com Experience” where we’ll have some tables and be modding stuff and what not, so you can meet a lot of the forum members, modders and I’ll be there too of course. Bring whatever junk you want and I’ll sign it!

You can check out their website at www.midwestgamingclassic.com. Set in the Milwaukee suburb of Oconomowoc, which has a lot of O’s, it’s the biggest and game classic gaming show in the Midwest, if not everywhere!

See you there!

Benheck.com Podcast Episode 56

Hi-Fi

We’re back again with a new podcast. In this exciting episode we discuss some user-suggested topics, including:

  • Windows 7 impressions.
  • The future of guitar games.
  • The DTV switchover delay (which leads to talking about the stimulus package, sorry)
  • Movies of 2009 we’re looking forward too + most often destroyed landmarks in movies.

We hope you enjoy the ride!

Xbox 360 combo at Circuit City for a Great Price!

Still sitting on the fence about getting an Xbox 360? Rumors in the press got you down? Well consider this:


What a bargain!

As we all know, Circuit City is going under. This is very sad for me as I always preferred them over Best Buy. But as James Earl Jones said in the Lion King “everything is a circle of life”… or whatever. Find opportunity in despair!

Right now Circuit City has 10% off on game systems and 30% off accessories. This means you can get an Arcade console for $180 and a 60 gig add-on hard drive for $70… a total of $250. Equivalent to the $300 Xbox in functionality, yet the same price as the Wii.

Of course the $300 Xbox would now be $270, but keep in mind with the Arcade you still have a much better chance of it being a Jasper, also the hard drive add-on comes with 3 months of Xbox Live as well!

If you need an Xbox and there’s a Circuit City close to you this deal is really too good to pass up. Also, strangely enough, our Circuit City has been getting NEW stock in yet, including a whole pile of Jasper 360’s, the newest lot number I’ve seen yet in fact (0850X) So why not check it out?

For information on how to spot a Jasper Xbox 360 in the wild, see this page. Happy hunting!

NOTE: It’s even cheaper now, 20% off minimum.
