(USA) Want a Core Xbox 360 for 100usd? Vote!

From 1up.com:
[QUOTE]
If waiting in line for a PlayStation 3 or scrounging around for an available Wii doesn't sound too appealing, would Xbox 360 Core systems at $100 a pop sound better? Amazon.com's willing to offer 1,000 of these little puppies -- if enough customers vote for it. They're holding an ol' fashioned voting contest between a variety of items with killer deals and while Xbox 360 clearly has the best price, Amazon will also be offering the fewest units compared to the other options.
[/QUOTE]

Note: at time of writing the Xbox360 is the clear winner with over 85% of the votes.

Holy crap, that's awesome. So I guess it will go on sale Thanksgiving Day? It's a little confusing the way it is worded. Here is the current breakdown. 360 has a huge lead.

Let's see. There are 50 states in the U.S. and 1000 units. That breaks down to 20 units per state. I know they don't sell them by state, but I would say the odds of grabbing one are going to be slim.

I wasn't planning on getting a 360 for a while, but if I get a chance at this deal, I'll do it. Now if only I can guarantee myself a Wii as well. biggrin.gif

I thought the Premium doesn't have WiFi either.

Anyway, I can deal with a wired controller, and I wouldn't buy the component cable anyway, I'd get the VGA, so I'd be paying the same price for a cable anyway. Seems like the only big difference left is the hard drive, which of course I'd have to buy, but even at $200 for the system and hard drive this is a great deal.
