Maybe. I 'd really love to know who's funding that Wal*Mart deal. I reckon it has to be MS, why would Wal*Mart want to burn $100 of their money per console. I can only assume MS, seeing recent Slim sales, decided they're rather spend a fair amount of money to give themselves a decent change to stay ahead of PS3 in US.

Does PS3 have any comparable deals, or is Sony just banking on current price, etc?

Wal-Mart had an identical promotion for the PS3 earlier this year.  Just like sony used the PS3 as a loss leader to make money back on SW, Wal-Mart is hoping to use the gift cards to get people shoppipng more at their store, and make more money back in the long run.

Thanks.  For some reason only the 360 promotion seemed to register with a lot of coverage, unless I missed the PS3 coverage but I'm sure I'd have seen something.  That makes sense then, that they would switch back and forth, although the timing for MS so close to MW2 was very nice I reckon.
