not a bad deal for those who want this


Its a horrible deal for anyone.

1) The full price is $100 or more than buying it up front and that's not including the eventual overall price reduction (not tied to contracts) that will happen later this year.

2) The gen is ending and this would force you to be paying for 360 and Gold service at least a year after the next console releases.

3) It would be better to go to KMart and start a lay-away and pay it off that way or simply save the money on your own each month.

were are you getting 100 more? if they plan to get gold its only 40 more. seems reasonable to be able to pay off for two years and recieve a 2 year warranty.

$99 + $15/mo for 24 months  = $459

$299 (4gb+kinect) + $59 + $59 = $417... however... those are max (MSRP) prices that are never at that price.

Current Amazon price: $296 + $48 + $48 = $392
Current Walmart price: $199 (bundle w/ 2 games and 1yr live) + $139 (kinect bundle with 2 games) + $49 (1yr live) = $387 (and this includes four games)

So, yeah... with only a a few mins hitting largets retailers I find $60 to over $100 in savings. Again, this is ignoring the obvious fact that 360 will be discounted later this year too.

Its a horrible deal for anyone.
