Students: Buy Windows 7 PC, Get Free Xbox

[Arch_Angel]

You have the mini-fridge, the flat screen, a DVD player, and maybe a tablet. What else does your dorm room need? How about a free Xbox 360 when you buy a Windows 7 PC?

Starting May 22, students who spend more than $699 on a Windows 7 PC will get a Xbox 360 4GB console. You can buy any kind of PC, though Microsoft recommended the Dell Inspiron 14r or the Samsung Series 9.

You'll need a .edu email address to buy online; if you want to purchsae in person, bring a student ID. Microsoft said the deal will run until September 3 or until supplies last.

Why 2 weeks late? What happened 2 weeks ago?

They are targeting those who starting in September or resuming their studies in September.

I wonder how long this will be going on because I desperately need a new xbox 360. I'm not liking how they need to be from specific brands though, because I wasn't considering any of those.

It's in the first post.

I imagine it's only students in the states. And only for certain computers, only from certain retailers. Lots of restrictions surround this free 360, I wouldn't bother budgeting for my new PC around this, but others might.

I bought a new pc roughly 2 weeks ago. I gave my 360 to a friend for birthday and wouldn't mind having another but I'm not gonna buy one again.
