We already heard that the legacy Xbox 360 consoles would see a price cut with the introduction of the new Xbox 360 slimster. Now Walmart has sweetened the deal with a tempting Father's Day bundle. Up through June 20th, purchasing a newly priced $149 Xbox 360 Arcade gets you a $50 Walmart eGift card (usable only on Walmart.com and Samsclub.com) on top of the two free games (Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and Viva Piñata), wireless controller, and 256MB of memory already included in Microsoft's Spring Bundle. So really, a console that cost $199 just a few days ago is now selling for $99. Not bad.
** after using your $50 eGift card on crap you'd buy anyway, like Xbox 360 games and accessories.

is this only in the US?!?!?!?
Just went to Target and picked up an xbox360 arcade for $150 with a free $50.00 gift card, it is true, HOWEVER if you are concerned about the dvd drive(at least the batch at target in nyc), it is a Lite-On drive, sucks but oh well, thats life.
@musclepope why do you say it sucks? the lite-on (7/8/9xxx series) has had the newer LT firmware since the holiday season.
@xnifex doesn't it require additional hardware? Like that connectivity kit? If not that will kick-a$$. can I flash it without having those extra hardware? I have Sata built in my comp, I am new to this whole xbox drive flashing, can you please provide any info?
Looks like I'm going to have a busy weekend at the Electronics DEPT at Wally World. have plenty of them in stock includes the Special Edition ELITES.
Ordered mine yesterday...not sure what to get with the $50. Maybe put it towards the Kinect when it comes out in a few months!
