And the rebate wasn't released until the 22nd as most of you have heard. I'm screwed aren't I?

Harsh :/. Just split that up by twelve months and promise yourself you'll save 4,15 USD every month, lol.

I spared 30 bucks and got the Pro (60 GB) instead of the Elite (120 GB). Not the best deal, either.

It's 50$ off, so just get your next 1 year Live card for 30$ when they have their sale at Best Buy amd you can find them online for that price too. Then, when buying your next few games get them at Amazon, they always have preorders for like 5$ off retail. Easy enough to make up for the 50$ loss.

I know what your saying but no matter what I do, I lost $50 by not waiting 2 days.

Stinks becauseI bought an Xbox 360 Elite last year for around 500 dollars(not including the ridiculous price of the wireless adapter). Now its around 400 :x

Yeah I realize I've got nothing on those who bought an Elite for $400 like a month agobut two days is just such a short amount of time, it hurts.

It's not your fault, it is fuxing MS for not announcing stuff a few days early so people can know. Sure they lose a few bucks but they gain much needed brownie points for PR.

Yeah. Its particularly weird that they started the rebate program on a Tuesday. That's why I bought it when I did. I figured, well no deals on Sunday so.... lol so much for that
