Folks in the market for a 4GB Xbox 360 should point their browser to Amazon. The online retailer is offering a $50 credit with the purchase of the $199 console. Surprisingly, the credit isn't restricted to games, and applies to most merchandise sold by Amazon. That's a lot of Blueberry Muffin Tops.

I would trade a $50 gift card for $50 off.

What a useless SKU.
Why would you want a 360 that effectively prevents you from downloading DLC? And not just XBLA, but add-ons, Xbox Originals, and XBLIG too.

@dagamer34 Seriously this. My dad who has no interest in game playing was thinking about buying an Xbox 360 during Christmas time for its Media Center Extender.

This is far from a useless SKU.
Those of us lucky enough to need another 360 for another room, basement, media room, or even another house or vacation home or who have friends can bring our hard drives with us and smack them in.
Wow...real useless option there

If I had more money I'd totally buy this just so I could use the $50 credit on a 250gb harddrive, and voila, a $40 cheaper 250gb Xbox 360!

Actually, that's a pretty good plan. Didn't think of that.

That's exactly what I did during the past holiday season. I don't like the shiny finish of the 250gb Xbox, and I wanted the matte finish, so I did exactly what you said here except at the time it was slightly less than $199 and Amazon had a $60 credit.

Not too shabby. Use the 50 bucks towards a 250GB hard drive and you've got yourself a $250 "real" Xbox.

A 4gb hard-drive would just about cover all the system updates, game updates, and save games for me.
And no installing games? Have fun with your burned-out 360!

Can someone explain Joystiq's obsession w/Muffin Tops? This is probably the 10th reference I've seen to that product since I've been frequenting the site.

Something with PAX I think...Not sure entirely. Had to buy some today out of curiosity.

I sense an odd connection between Muffin Tops and Portal 2.

For those that DO NOT know, you can use any USB flashdrive (well most any) as storage on an Xbox 360 now up to 16GB. So you buy a 16GB flash drive and you now have 20GB of storage for your 360 if you need more buy another flashdrive or two. if you need even more than that you can purhcase the HDD.
personally I have the old 10GB model and it works fine and with a flashdrive as a sotrage device I have enough room for everything I need

Only two days late. They also have the 250gb HDD on sale for 89.99.
And for those who don't want to wait Best Buy has the 4gb console on sale for 199.99 with a 50 dollar gift card in store (on the weekly add) and the 250gb HDD is on sale for 99.99 in store.

Would have considered this when my box died a few months back but warranty covered it. Oh well , I will catch the next one!

i'm waiting for this to happen with the 250 GB.!!!

I was just at Best Buy yesterday... they're doing the same thing there. $50 off the 4GB console. $199 price tag.

Sold my current 360 (Elite) for 210 so going to use that to get the 4GB Slim and use the $50 credit and the other $10 towards the 250GB hard drive. Happy this deal is going on.
