Wow... can people really not stop calling it a $99 Xbox 360? It is in no way shape or form a $99 Xbox. It is a $199 Xbox Arcade with a gift card that has to be used on other products and can not be put towards the purchase of the Arcade itself. If you want to be technical it's basically a $200 Pro (using the gift card to buy the 60GB upgrade pack).

So from here on out can we please accept anyone calling this a $99 Xbox 360 as trolling, since after constant explanation that is all they are doing now?

Well it technically is a $100 Xbox 360,  yeah you still have to buy it for $200, but then you next $100 in items that you would normally buy from Wal-mart.  If they didnt get the gift card they would still spend that $100 but it would be out of their pockets like normally.  So the way the average consumer would see it is they are getting the 360 for $100,  while getting all there other shopping done as they would normally.

So it is a $199 Xbox 360.  Your other items are cheaper or free in this case, not the 360 itself.  I see what you are saying, but I just don't think it fits to call it a $99 Xbox when there is no way you can purchase one for that price and the money saved is AFTER the purchase of the 360.  If anything I will accept that it is a $199 Pro 60GB 360 since that is what it would be if you used the gift card on the first immediate upgrade for the Arcade.
