| nightsurge said: 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 haven't seen much either. The reason you aren't seeing the deal listed on the websites is probably because of the need for your John Hancock to lock you into that contract which is why Amazon doesn't have it.

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. |
Hard to disagree with this. Just need a non-contract version for $399 as well and you have some happy consumers.
