Deal: Xbox 360 Arcade with $50 store credit for $149

I’m channeling Dale North on this one, guys.

Wal-Mart and Amazon both have variations on the same deal, and it’s a solid one, if you aren’t completely swept up by the sleek new Xbox 360 Elites. For — let’s just call it — $150, you can get the Xbox 360 Arcade bundle at either retailer, and you’ll also receive a $50 gift card.

Granted, on Amazon, you have to put the $50 specifically toward a future game purchase, but that’s still a really good value. Click here for Wal-Mart, and here for Amazon.

And hey, you’re getting two fun, charming videogames with your purchase in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and Viva Pinata. I can’t be the only person here who loves those games, can I?
