$30 gift card for Walmart is essentially $30. You can get just about anything at Walmart. There's clothes, groceries, electronics, jewelry, alcohol, christmas gifts, gas etc..

Lol. Right, but you can't claim the deal is $299 when it isn't.  It's mis-representing the truth.  $329 with a gift card is not = to $299.  The only way that would be true is if you could apply the value of the gift card to the bundle and discount it to $299, which has never been allowed.   Either way, you're spending $329 for the bundle, not $299. 

You're being literal when the OP obviously says "essentially". A gift card is free money. They're giving you money to buy this console.

I'm not disputing that it's an amazing deal.  I'm disputing anyone who's trying to argue that $329 with a $30 gift card = $299.  In no universe are those two things the same.  If my debit card is getting charged $329 instead of $299, then the deal is $329.  I wouldn't have even clicked on this thread if the title hadn't mis-represented the deal, as I'd already seen the black friday ads come across my Twitter this morning.  I only clicked into here because I thought maybe the OP had seen something in the Walmart ad that I had missed.
