Sign away your soul, get a 360
Engadget is plugging a Bell Canada Sympatico program that lets you "lease" an Xbox 360 for the low, low cost of $60 a month provided you sign a three year contract for internet service. The price includes a Premium console, GRAW, NHL 07, Xbox Live Arcade Vol 1, three months of XBL GOLD and 1,250 MS Points, plus a wireless modem. It's not really a lease per say, because as far as I can tell you own the Xbox and accoutrements outright once you sign on the dotted line. It's more like a Japanese-style gimmick for luring Canucks into a looong service contract. Rest assured you will have paid retail plus for your goodies by the time this deal is done. Still, if over-priced 5mbps DSL until 2010 is acceptable to you, it might be an easy way to get set up for the Holidays without shelling out the big bucks up front. Does anybody know of any similar deals in the States?
