Basically you pay $199 for the arcade and get a $100 rebate.

WalMart is doing it not microsoft.

You can blow the gift card on a necessary hard drive.

Microsoft IS doing it because in case you haven't seen, Walmart TV ads are showing the 360 with games like Forza, it's a partnership obviously. So this is not just a store doing a sale like Best Buy or what not, Walmart and MS are together on this deal. ..btw save yourself the effort of saying "bu bu ms paying so much!!" ..get over it. If sony was doing the same you'd all be saying they are geniouses.

Yeah, but then I have to pay for Xbox Live, a hardrive (Or memory cards), a $100 Wi-Fi adapter, and some games?

I don't think so...

Yeah, I just saw a Wal-Mart commercial for Modern Warfare 2, and they basically said, the 360 version is better than the PS3 one.

I'll try to find a link to the video.

Edit:

Link.

Not everybody uses a Wi-fi Adapter. I know I don't for a my PS3. Tempted about getting this but I think I will pass as I hate white consoles on top of not having enough time to warrant the purchase. I need to buy some new fall clothes anyhow as this has been neglected with all the PS3 games I have bought recently. LOL. Well then it could replace my white WII if I sell that one. LOL.

well, it's true, lol.

also going by the other sales you can get an xbox and a bluray player for a grand total of $248. That negates half the PS3 for me.

50 bucks for live, i don't want an adpter, and it comes with 512MB internal card... thats 150$ not too bad for a console. I think I'll buy another xbox soon.

Does that really mean 10 per store or that you can only buy 10 with this offer per store? I'm sure they will go fast if it is only 10 per store.

The ad says minimum 10 per store. I think it's just a guarantee that stores out in the sticks aren't going to be completely shafted with 1 unit available at that price.

Believe it or not, some people just want the Arcade version.

Clearly some sort of deal has been done. PS3 and PC fanboys who saw that ad must have been fuming, lol.

I really thought about doing this, but I'd still want online and a harddrive and that puts the price right back up into the $200+ range.

Pretty good deal for this, but it would of been a lot better with the Elite Xbox 360 instead of the Arcade version. Wonder if they allow returns of both the Arcade Xbox 360 and the gift card in exchange for the Elite Xbox 360, but chances are they would probably have some policy put in place to negate this move.
