Since when has the 360 been $99 dollars a piece?

Yeah, I just barely noticed it on Tv. I am surprised these things are not flying off the shelves!

People are probably smarter than Microsoft gives them credit for.

Or the fact that the console is 8 years old and this subscription based model is only available at select retailers like GameStop and Best Buy.

Lol "select retailers" followed by Best Buy. Too funny, add Toys R' Us and Walmart to your "select retailers".

Fair enough. Though even to this day, the $99 promotion has seen little marketing outside of apparently this new TV ad and some online buzz. I just checked, and you don't even find the $99 deals on any of the online websites for Best Buy, Walmart, Gamestop, etc if you look in the typical places (Video Games > Xbox 360 > Console/Systems). You can only access the $99 deal if you happen to see the ad for it on their main Xbox 360 pages.

I really don't think it was meant to be a system seller promotion given the console is 8 years old and most people wanting a cheap Xbox probably don't want that added contract. However, starting off next generation with this type of promotion would do wonders. Xbox 8 for $199 with 2 year $15/month contract instead of paying $399 would be a pretty decent system seller at that point.
