Amazon is running a really nice promotion for students. From now, until September 3rd, when you buy a PC, you get a FREE Xbox 360. If you have already been considering purchasing a laptop for your student when they go back to school, you just can’t beat this deal.
Here’s a little more information about the promo:
For a limited time, Amazon Student members who purchase a select Windows 7 personal computer for $699 or higher, from the selection of PC’s here, will receive a free Xbox 360 4GB console.
Offer only applies to Amazon Student members. Not an Amazon Student Member? Learn more here.
Amazon Students who purchase a qualified Windows 7 personal computer from Amazon.com will receive an email within 8 business days after the Windows 7 PC ship date, letting them know a promotional credit has been added to their account. Open the email, click on the link back to Amazon.com, place an Xbox 360 4GB console in your cart, and the discount will automatically be applied at checkout, no coupon code required.
Offer only applies to purchases of products sold by Amazon.com between May 25, 2011 and September 3, 2011 and does not apply to products sold by third-party merchants and other sellers through the Amazon.com site. While supplies last. For additional restrictions, terms and conditions, and to find out who qualifies for this promotion please read our terms and conditions.

I really hope this is right. I know that Best Buy is no longer doing the free-Xbox deal, and a store manager told me just this morning that Microsoft pulled the plug on it about 2 weeks ago. "Don't quote me on the date," he said, "but right about June 18?"
Still, I haven't been able to find ANY 'official' Microsoft announcement about it.
So, bummer. I was poised to drop about $2k at Best Buy this morning, but the incentive to buy in the store was the free Xbox in hand immediately. Without that incentive...
Good to see that Amazon could be holding up the deal though. Thanks for posting this!
