With the Xbox 360 nearing the end of it’s reign at the top of Microsoft’s Xbox lineup, you would think Microsoft would be laying low and looking to find creative ways of clearing their distribution channels of as many Xbox 360 S consoles as soon as possible. Well, starting today you can pick up the recently announced $99 Kinect and Xbox 360 bundle from your local Best Buy and Gamestop, in addition to having the ability to grab one from a local, -ahem possibly local, Microsoft Store.
Just remember the fine print, in exchange for picking up the best selling console in the United States for more than a year, you’ll be signing up for a mandatory 24 months of Xbox LIVE Gold at $14.99 a month. The console bundle will only be available in all U.S. Best Buy stores and only “select GameStop locations”, so we suggest you call ahead.
