Students and families who are looking for an easy, competitively priced solution to moving their digital content across multiple devices need look no further as, starting May 23, Best Buy is offering an exclusive Xbox 360 and a Blue Label 2.0 laptop combo for $200 off the standard price.

Equipped with Windows 7 Home Premium and Intel Wireless Display technology, the Blue Label 2.0 laptops, coupled with an Xbox 360, enable consumers to easily connect their PCs to their televisions to share videos, photos, music and other personal content. For those who want to give or ask for this gift of connectivity for graduation or another special occasion, Best Buy’s Pitch In Card allows friends and family to contribute any amount, any time, to a gift card redeemable at any Best Buy or BestBuy.com.

Priced at $899.98, the package includes an Xbox 360 Arcade and the choice of one of two critically acclaimed Blue Label 2.0 laptops – the 14” Toshiba or 15.6” Dell notebook. Each laptop includes Intel Wireless Display technology with push button streaming, the new Intel i5 processor with turbo boost technology, Windows 7 Home Premium, 4GB memory and a 500GB hard drive. In addition, they bolster a two-year extended manufacturer’s limited warranty, 30 days of Geek Squad support and 12 months of Anti-Virus protection. The offer also includes a free NETGEAR Push2TV adapter that connects to Intel Wireless Display technology via a port on the television.

“Playing video games used to mean sitting in front of your TV by yourself or with a few friends – or being trapped in front of your computer. More often than not, it could be a really lonely experience,” said Jason Bonfig, vice president of computers at Best Buy. “Now, with how easy it is to connect devices like the Xbox 360 and Blue Label laptops, it can be more social and shared. Want to play Halo with a friend halfway around the world, or show family members pictures from your recent vacation on the big screen? This package makes that possible.”

Included in the package are:

Xbox 360 Arcade:

  • Custom symmetrical triple-core CPU
  • 500MHz ATI graphics processor for powerful, high-speed gaming experiences
  • 256MB internal memory
  • Xbox LIVE to bring play online, access exclusive content, engage in voice chat and more
