I was wondering why this thread was still on going ...

it is because the DEAL IS RIGHT NOW !!!!!

Apparently they are going to honor this deal till next friday. So if you are planning on selling these things on ebay you had probably better do it quick-like. I may pick another one up during the week if I can find one for my Dad. The lady at walmart told me that the 360's are all on order and they should have more soon.

Oh wow. That's legit. I may get another one to flip - and pocket the GC though. Sweet.

I must be missing something. $199 with $100 Gift card is $299. How is this cheaper? Or are GC almost freely given away.

Here is how it works. Go to Wal-Mart while they are running this deal and buy an Xbox 360 Arcade @ the regular price of $199 and Wal-Mart will give you a $100 girt card.

Yep its legit.  The only thing I wonder about though is how many 360's they will get in over the week.  It could be very few, or hopefully a lot.  Either way its just the luck of the draw if you can find one in stock.

So I figure about 150K extra Arcades were sold yesterday at Walmart. I was at 1 store which sold 37 at the price (I got 2) and my sister went to a store that had 17.

i don't need a 360 at all, but i want to buy one at that price. I didn't know it was so soon, is it still going?

^^^^

Ya its still going on until this coming Friday, if the wal-mart stores have received more shipments. They receive shipments all the time so just check back with them.
