Well it wouldn't surprise me. MS is probably doing them sort of favors that don't involve forking over cash. Wal-Mart makes a stupid amount of profit, and they are also putting $100 gift cards with all Blackberry activations next week and a rumored $100 gift card with the Wii (though it looks doubtful right now). It's a Wal-Mart ploy to get more people into their store and it worked pretty well as we sold a gazillion 360's in our store with it. Hell, even the MW2 elites are selling out.
It's just that simple.
