If you don't have an Xbox 360 and always wanted one, Saturday is your day. Even if you haven't wanted one all that badly, but have toyed with the idea, Saturday is your day. And if you have been trying to talk your parents, your husband or your wife into getting one, or if your kids have been bugging you for one, Saturday is your day.

The cheapest Xbox is $199 everywhere you look, which doesn't come with a hard drive (like the Wii) and is cheaper than the $250 Wii and a great entry into a game system.

Saturday at Wal-Mart, the $199 360 comes with a $100 Wal-Mart gift card. So either you get your machine for $100 or you turn around and use that $100 gift card to mostly pay for a 120GB hard drive ($135) which turns your 360 into a streaming or saved movie device, and use it to sync with your PC and for music, photo and game storage.

Lines will be long and supplies will be short but for Christmas it gets you a good jump on your shopping at a great rate. I am trying to figure out how to tell my wife we need an additional machine.
