Gamestop haslisted  "Bundle - Arcade Banjo/Viva Pinata" for $99 for pre-order. I wonder if that comes with an arcade unit, because I think both of those games are $30 new. This is either a mistake or the greatest deal ever.

Good deal if one is not interested in downloading stuff

Damn that is a great deal! I have a strong feeling that a price job on the 360 will happen VERY soon. Many retailers have been offering consoles + $50 gift cards (WalMart, Best Buy and Gamestop have all done this within the last few weeks) and then seeing this arcade deal... wow. I think we are about to see a $99 - $129 arcade and a $199 pro w/ 120GB HDD. Alot of this could be a buildup toward a xbox slim, but with natal bundles coming soon who knows!

April 6th is the update that will allow gamers to finally use external memory to store profiles/games etc.  From what I am told they will allow up to 16GB of USB supported memory... so download away!

Making way for a slim?

My thoughts exactly

Probably discontinuing the arcades soon with the slim on the way. Either that or this is just a Gamestop specific sale. Considering the price hike in the UK Microsoft is probably just barely breaking even with the Arcade at $200.

amazing

guys this would mean a slim arcade would be 150 dollars! because if the new slim was going to be 200 dollars then they would've dropped the price to 150 dollars...

If it's that cheap then i'll buy one,just for the sake of buying one,even though I already have a xbox 360.
