There not the only ones doing it, PS3 is the same way, it costs $100 to get the 120g over the 60, Ipods are even worse, charging $100 to go from the 32gig Ipod Touch to the 64gig. At least with the 360 your getting 4000% increase in storage space for that $100
Its not $100 after checkout.
Its still the same damn price people
they give you a $100 gift card for your next purchase or what ever. So unless you plan to use it on another deal or food or what ever its essentially a junk deal. Unless you just like blowing $200 just to get $100 later.

Well since I buy groceries at walmart every week, it's perfect for me.
Can someone post a link to the ad? I cannot find it.
There is no add. An employee, Im assuming, took a picture of Wal-marts computer that listed upcoming deals.
Yeah they're real bastards, selling inexpensive stuff to people with low incomes. Clearly they're forcing their will on these hapless souls, who have no capacity to make a choice for themselves, and an endless supply of money they'd eagerly spend at smaller businesses if only Wal Mart didn't force them at gunpoint onto the clearance aisle.

This thread cracks me up. I do most of my food and household shopping at Walmart. Their produce and meat sucks, so I look elsewhere for that, but for name brand items they can't be beat for the most part. Maybe I'm just cheap, but I can't justify buying the exact same name-brand items at another store for more. When you compare Walmart selling a bag of dogfood for $15 and a fancy grocery store selling the exact same brand for $20, the only person I see being exploited is the idiot that overpayed
This looks like a great deal, if they're actually in stock. We'll see on Saturday
I wonder how early I'd have to arrive at my local Walmart to score this deal.
Im confused as to why people hate wal-mart?
I always thought they employed people that might not otherwise be able to get a job...
I'm confused, do the people that hate wal-mart want wal-mart to disappear as well as all of the people they employ?
people complaining about the costs of the hdd, I hope you complain about the cost of every single MS console. I mean they just rip you off for what you get for 200 dollars dont they?!?!?!?!
60gb HDD, 3 months XBL, headset, tri-core CPU, good gpu (for gaming), media center extender, etc.
Now I am confused as to how this is a bad deal for $200? Would a netbook be better?
are they ripping us off with the amount of technology we get for $200?
obviously the hdd would cost the difference between the pro console and arcade. What SMART company would sell the arcade for 200, the pro for 300, and a 60gb hdd (to make it a pro) for $50?
Hmmm it says:
"Includes a Bonus* $100 eGift Card
*One (1) per customer, limited time offer while supplies last, online only gift card."
That sucks
Some people, like myself, refuse to shop at places like Walmart because of their exploitative practices and the harmful effects they have on local economies. Nearly everyone reading this post is at least college age, so take an intro soc class or grab a book about globalization. There are reasonable arguments from both sides.Don't fret, it's just jealousy that makes people hate on Walmart. Walmart has provided means for the masses to aquire goods cheaply. Some people are so concerned about their image that they don't want to be seen as cheap, thus they won't go to walmart. They'll pay more somewhere else and get nothing more for their money.
And while they may act like the moral super shopper of the internet, Walmart is making more money per minute than they will make in a lifetime.

The main points, aside from the low wages, union busting, and leaving health care for their workers to the public, are that every dollar spent in Walmart instead of a locally owned store is a dollar that leaves the local economy instead of recycling. Walmarts, as well as other megastores, also take up what used to be valuable soil space, drive people from the town center to the outskirts of town, thereby reducing sales for the locally owned businesses in the center of towns. As those sales receipts fall, the local tax base falls and funding for police and city renovation is reduced. Both of those are factors correlated to increased crime.
There are a lot of considerations to refusing to shop at these types of megatstores. I live in the most affluent area in Orange County and I can assure you the reason city planners do not allow Walmarts (I couldn't shop there even if I wanted to because the closest one is an hour away) is because they understand the deleterious effects such businesses have on the overall economy and not because they are jealous.
This may be useless at this point, However I had luck in that my arcade was broken, I returned the broken arcade system and the gift card and exchanged them straight up for the holiday bundle elite. So instead of getting an arcade for 200+100 gift card, I just got an elite for 200. So if you did this deal and haven't spent the gift card yet, it's worth a try going to walmart and trying to get an exchange.
