Just a quick tip for holiday shoppers. If you buy a Premium 360 from Wal-Mart (in store only) you will receive a $50 gift card. This will come in handy if you'd like to get an actual game for your 360 recipient to play. Granted $50 dollars won't really get you many 360 games, but it will at least deal with the bulk of the price. Hey, it's no Micro Center $200 monster rebate, but at least it's instant. You'd better hurry, though, the offer is only valid through tomorrow, Sunday, December 10. Anybody else out there spot a killer deal on 360 systems, games, or accessories? Send us a tip and we'll post 'em.
[Thanks, Anonymous Rep]

Toys R Us supposedly has a $100 gift card deal coming up for Xbox 360 purchasers.

Most of the units at Wal-mart have Burnout Revenge packaged with it, so you'll get one game anyway then $50 for another.

If you got a Micro Center close by, they are still running the $100 rebate offer on either core or premium. Sign up for the rewards credit card they have, and get another $100 back. I picked up my second Premium box last weekend.

That would be worth considering if I thought to try another one. The only Xbox I owned died after about 3 hours of playtime. Locked up WAY too much. I won't go there again.

If you buy a 360 from dell right now, you get 15% off, which makes it $340.

I took advantage of this deal yesterday for the fiance's Christmas present.
Also note that the Wal-mart credit card is offering a coupon for 12 months with no interest on a single electronics purchase of over $397.
So I got the $50 gift card and have a year to pay it off.

The Dell 15 % off doesn't seem to work with the 360 console or bundles ?

Just to let you know, the card is only for the Premium system that DOESN'T have Burnout or MotoGP bundled with it. You won't get the card if you get the bundle.

couldnt you buy it, get the $50 gift card, then return it the next day and keep the gift card. Free $50

Once the price of the Xbox 360 drops, Microsoft will probably see a surge in sales. That ridiculous one time sale on Amazon is proof. It brought Amazon.com to a screeching halt 5 minutes before the cores went on sale for 100 a piece.

yeah i saw this today and noticed the motogp bundle.
@nick
i'm sure if you bitched a lot to the manager and pointed out on the flyer that it doesn't specify (the one i saw didn't at least), that they'd just go ahead and let you get it. hell, a best buy sold some bitchy lady their display 360.
