Wal-Mart has two nice deals on Xbox360 related gear.
1. Starting Saturday, and probably not lasting long, they will be selling 360 Arcades for $199, with a $100 gift card.
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will come out on the 10th. Wal-Mart is offering a $20 gift card with the purchase of the game.
I plan on picking up a 360 to use as a media extender with my Windows 7 machine at home, and I am pretty excited about it. If you want a 360 as a serious gaming device I do not think this is a stellar deal, as you can get a 360 Pro (it comes with a hard drive for game saves and quicker game load times), with a couple of games for $299, and some other similar deals are even cheaper. To get this one up to the Pro Level you would have to spend about $90 to get a hard drive, which although $10 cheaper, does not come with the two bundled games.
Just to reiterate, as a media extender this is perfect. If you want it for gaming it is not a great deal. If you are thinking of this, but do not have a Tuner, woot has you covered. That is a today only deal though.
Thanks to loyal reader Hans for the heads up on the Modern Warfare deal.
Happy Birthday Mom!
Later,
John
