Two more things before I log off for the next eight hours:
They do let us know that it's a $99 Xbox as long as we sign up for XBL at $15 a month ($10 more a month than normal--it's not like the customer isn't getting anything at all. They're getting XBL Gold.) Would I sign uo for it? Hell no. Still, there's no deception involved. The terms are very clear.
Secondly, this isn't the first time this is being done. Sega gave away the Dreamcast (for free if I remember correctly) as long as people subscribed to SegaNet. I can't remember if it was for one or two years but, at the time, SegaNet was $20 a month. Again, I wouldn't (and didn't) take the deal but there was no secrecy involved.
