An un-intended side effect:
Xbox 360s are now $189 for core Xbox 360s with wired controllers at EB/GS. Elites are $239.99.
However, the Elites DO NOT include the hard drives. Get them while they're hot. $189.99 is a steal if you want an X360 for a few certain games (Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, ect).
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
