I may be wrong, but didn't Walmart have another gift card deal for the 360 during FFXIII week? Maybe that was the Wii, but I could swear there was a second deal.

Not even sure it was this one. I could have sworn there was also one on FFXIII week and a Wii one the week before that.

After-Christmas Week of Savings
Beginning this Saturday, Dec. 26 through New Year’s Day, Walmart will be ready for weekend shoppers with a variety of new offers with additional savings, including:

PS3 if I am not mistaken is the only console to not get a Walmart giftcard deal in December.

Well that sticks a knife right in the gut of my theory.

Sorry.
