When someone says $99 X360 it doesn't take much brain power to know what they are referring to. a $100 Walmart GC is pretty much the same as cash. So you pay $199 for the X360 then they turn right around and give you a $100 GC which I used before I lefted the store. So yes, it's a X360 for $99 just like a instant rebate. It the same saying I pay $100 for a 9800Gt graphic card even though I had to wait a few weeks for the $30 rebate.

Not really. You pay $213 - and can't use the gift card until you're next visit. And if you don't use it on Xbox accessories, the machine still cost you $213.

I would call folks out if they did the same with calling a $399 PS3 a $299 PS3. It's inaccurate.

So instead of using your $100 giftcard in xbox accesories, you can use it in other things, as if it were...real money??

get over it, it's compeltely fair to put it like a $99 xbox...or a $113 one.

Sure, it's limited to walmart, but I'm sure you can find a good use for that $100 even there, especially in christmas time.

The reason it was free of charge was because of X360 failure rate was so high they were forced to fit them. PS2 failure rate was not any higher than other consoles in the past like the first Nintendo. I really hated that console.

PS2s failure rate was lower but since the amount of consoles were higher it probably had more broken PS2s then broken 360s and sony never replaced them for free.

Sony replaced my broken PS2 3 years after purchase, for free. True story. I swear, no joke.

I had a dead laser.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

im glad ps3 held off xbox 360, hope it can do it again next week even with the cod bundle sales.

theres no way a cod game is bigger than a $99 360. especially when its the 4th cod on the 360

it's not a 99 dollar 360...why do you even visit a sales chart about numbers when you can't even handle such simple math.

i can do simple math but i really havent looked into this walmart thing cause i really dont give a shit about whats going on with the 360, im saying 99$ because everyone else is! lol

^ok...it doesn't make it right still, but still a 100 dollar gift card after 199 dollars spent is really $299 dollars of value from $199. Not $99 Xboxes, as Madskillz said if you walk into Wal Mart with Benjamin Franklin at your side you will be turned down.

what's really sad is that you can't even get a decent size 360 hdd with that 100 dollar gift card. might as well get an elite with this deal and get a wireless g for it for 30 instead http://news.punchjump.com/article.php?id=8995
