Last 360 shipment for the bonus remote

According to
the internal document linked earlier today,
the next shipment of Xbox 360s to Best Buy (presumably after the upcoming shipment on Dec. 16) will lack the bonus
media remote (and
emergency controller) next-gen owners of the premium system have come to know and love.

We knew the main (non-Core) Xbox 360 retail unit would only be coming with a bonus mini-remote for a limited time, and this tidbit confirms that the promo will be disappearing at the end of the current calendar year.

Just remember when you rush stores for a 360 to look for that sticker on the front of
the box, clearly marking it as one that contains that coveted remote.
