Deal of the Week: the $99 Xbox 360


November 6 2:20 P.M.

With great savings comes great buy-ability.

In the market for a cheap Xbox 360? No need to wait for Black Friday.

Walmart will be selling the Xbox 360 Arcade machine for $199, and giving away a $100 gift card, making the machine effectively under a hundred bones. The Arcade machine comes with a wireless controller and 512 MB of internal storage memory, but doesn't include a hard drive or any games. (We'd suggest Forza 3, Borderlands, or a Modern Warfare 2 pre-order as good choices, though.)

The deal starts at 8 AM and continues while stocks last. If you're hoping to snag one, show up early, and be prepared for a line. Behind me, of course.
