For my frugal geeks out there...
Xbox 360 Arcade Spring 2010 Bundle + $50 Gift Card - $130
Target stores are offering the Xbox 360 Arcade model + $50 Gift Card for $130.
Note: the current Target ad shows price of $150 with $30 Gift Card; however, because the product is missing a headset which they advertised, Target has dropped the price to $130 with $50 giftcard.
Details:
They are so low because the new XBox 360 Slim is coming out (trying to make room for it), plus this particular model (no hard drive) is probably no longer going to be sold.
You don't need to buy a hard drive if you don't want to, you can use 1GB-16GB USB thumb drives for game saves.
Arcade does have an HDMI port but does not come with the cable (you can find HDMI cables for a few bucks online).
You still get all the online capabilities like streaming Netflix (with wireless adapter sold seperately) and you can still play all the 360 games, you just can't "install them" on a hard drive (which makes the box much quieter and does save on wear an tear).
Make your own decision if this is right for you but make it soon - they are already starting to sell out at this price.
