Amazon deal: Credit on Xbox 360 or Kinect purchase photo

In my head everyone in the universe has at least one Xbox 360, if not two. I know several people with more than one system. I had two for awhile. It's hard for me to imagine that there is someone that doesn't own one. Not you. You don't count, Sony fanboy. 

If there is one, Amazon.com has a really great deal. If you buy a 4GB Xbox 360 console you'll get a $50 Amazon promotional credit to buy something else with. Maybe your original Xbox 360 is being assy and you need to replace it. This would be a way to get a new system and a game!

There's a similar deal for the Kinect sensor. Buy it and you'll get a $25 credit towards something else nice at Amazon.com.

Note that both of these are limited deals. In either case you'll see your account credited within two days.

I seized on the equivalent deal for a PS3 mainly because it let me build my own bundle, as if Demon's Souls and Heavy Rain were pack-ins. Konami had to get my money for Metal Gear Solid 4 directly (as direct as Internet transactions go), no promotional credit antics involved in any way, though.

If the XBox 360 were really as plagued with hardware problems as its detractors seem to think it is, I'd have an excuse to spend more money on a 360. Thankfully, I can just save that money for the games it supposedly doesn't have.

I plan on getting a 360 soon, but idk about this deal, I'd rather wait for K-Mart to have a deal.

I'm still gonna get one though.

I don't have a 360.

Just never really felt I needed one as I have more than enough games to play between my PS3, DS, PSP, and PC.

For a while I had always said that I'd get one when they got a little cheaper and a little more reliable, but now that they ARE at that point, I just don't care enough anymore.

Plus, now that I have a fan-translation of Culdcept DS (the best Culdcept iteration), the lure of Culdcept Saga holds no sway over me.

Looks like Best Buy put up the same deal.

I don't own a 360, but I wouldn't mind having one. It's just not worth it to me to buy yet another gaming system when I have more games than I can play now on PC and PS3. Seriously, I probably have a dozen PS3 games I haven't finished, and because of Steam, several dozen PC games I haven't finished. And I'm probably going to buy either a 3DS or NGP. Jesus christ, the games, and I have two pre-orders in now.

I DID try to buy a 360 when B&N had the wrong price up on their website, but I was at school when I read it (on Destructoid) and didn't get to it in time.

Owning an Xbox 360 can be the new yardstick by which we measure poverty. If you don't own one and you're not a Sony fanboy chances are you live below the breadline.

I don't have one, for whatever reason. So I'll consider this.

I don't have one. Wouldn't mind having one, but I've just got more important things to spend money on.

Since that is a 4GB model, I guess the most sensible thing to do with the $50 credit is to immediately spend it on a 250GB drive to put in your new 4GB Xbox 360. 4GB is nothing, not when some games have demos that are nearly 2GB, and DLC that might be half a gig itself.

Man, a 360 would be sweet but I can't justify another system. I still have more games than I know what to do with.
