Amazon.com may sell limited amount of $99 360s

Amazon.com is bringing back their holiday Customers Vote Program this year, where they pit three product deals against eachother and have customers vote on which they want. And this year they want to know which gaming offer is more popular, a $79 Wii, a $139 PS3 (40GB) or a $99 Xbox 360 Arcade.

And since this is X3F, our vote and cash goes towards the uber cheap Xbox 360. So, this is how it works. Only one super-discounted-deal will "win" and be offered. To figure that out simply head over to this page, click the "Get started" button, sign into your Amazon.com account and place your customer vote on whichever you choose (ahem, Xbox 360). Then, later in the week, all the votes will be tallied and the winning product will be discounted to its "Winning Price" on November 22nd. It's quite simple. Oh, but there's one other wrench in your $99 Xbox 360 plan ... the consoles will be limited. Even if the Xbox 360 Arcade wins in the votes and becomes $99 there will only be 1,000 consoles made available for purchase. So, you'll have to be hella' quick on the Amazon.com ordering come Thursday. You've got the game plan, now go get 'em!

Buy BioShock and get The Darkness FREE!

There's a lot of gaming deals this week, but we thought we'd point you in the direction of an offer that's not-so Assassin's Creed. Right now, Amazon.com is offering BioShock for the nice price of $49 AND is throwing in The Darkness for FREE! Top the offer off with free shipping and (possibly) no tax and you've got a deal worth mentioning. You're welcome fanboys and stay tuned, because we've got Black Friday deals to sift through. Let the deals rain down!

Snag a black controller and play & charge kit for $44 [update]

Update: Grrr, we take back anything nice we said about Amazon.com or its Deal of the Day junk. They decided to switch this great deal to something more DS based and did it mid-day. Stupid Amazon.com. But we'll make it up to you fellow X3F reader, we'll find another great deal even if it paralyzes us for the rest of our waking lives. No joke.

We love Amazon.com lately and their gaming Deal of the Day program. For some reason we get all jolly and happy when we see an Xbox 360 product appear, so much so that we sometimes break out into a Riverdance mid-day. And that exact scenario just may play out in the next twenty-four hours, because today's Deal of the Day is a 360 combo pack including a spiffy black Xbox 360 wireless controller and a play and charge pack (with battery) for only $44. This combo pack usually retails for $69, so take advantage of the savings and pick up an extra controller if you're in need. We're feeling the urge ... the urge to Riverdance.

[Thanks, Phillip]

Purchase a Universal Media Remote for $12

Today, Amazon.com's gaming Deal of the Day is the Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote and they're offering it for 40% off of retail. For only $11.99 you too can own a fancy new Xbox 360 remote to navigate those DVDs, change channels, turn the volume up (or down) and complete standard remote control functions all from the comfort of your couch. True, it is the same remote that is included in the 360 HD DVD player bundle and it doesn't have a button designated for shutting off your TV (how'd they forget that?), but it's still a nice peripheral to add to your ever growing remote control collection. Purchase away.

Amazon.com discounts Xbox 360 Premiums to $329

Wowzaz! Xbox 360 price cuts are doing deeper than we ever expected, $20 deeper to be exact. Today, Amazon.com dropped the price of the Xbox 360 Premium console from its recently price dropped $349 price tag to an even lower $329! We expect the price cut to be related to yesterday's confirmation that HDMI will be making its way into Premium consoles and so Amazon.com just might be liquidating the older, HDMI'less Premiums to make room for the new models. But we can't confirm that theory, so it might be possible that these $329 Premiums will include HDMI. It's really a shake of the dice.

That said, we can't help but recommend that you take advantage of this deal ASAP, because you just can't beat a $329 price tag, free shipping and possibly no sales tax charges. Heck, while your at it, cash in on today's Deal of the Day where the featured item is a black Xbox 360 wireless controller / black play and charge pack bundle for only $49.99! Amazon.com ... we love you.

Halo 3 climbs Japan's Amazon list

The Japanese culture may be coming around to what us 360 owning Westerners are obsessed with. No, not apple pie or our love of gas guzzling vehicles, instead they are willing to experience a little game called Halo 3. Currently sitting at the number two spot on the Japanese Amazon.com video game best seller list is Halo 3. Number two! Even more interesting is that yesterday Halo 3 was sitting on top of the rankings listed in the number one position. Master Chief's Spartan charm must be wearing down the Japanese culture's wall they've put up against Western games. Good job Halo 3, you may have finally cracked the code and could be the key to getting Japanese gamers to experience the 360. Though, we doubt it.

$100 Xbox 360 sold out in seconds

As part of Amazon's Customers Vote internet deals, the Xbox 360 Core package won the people's vote and the right to go on sale. So, this morning you could buy a core system for only $100! The big news is that once the time came to purchase a 360 for such a low, low price at Amazon.com, customers came away empty handed as this deal ended within' seconds! Only 1,000 Xbox 360 Core systems were available for this offer, so it's not all that surprising that a sellout occured, but fanboys have been reporting that 2-3 seconds after the offer became available they couldn't complete an order because the deal was already sold out. If you were lucky enough to get a Xbox 360 Core system for $100 then you get a gold star for today buddy ... if not, at least you tried and didn't have to stand outside for 6+ hours in the cold only to be disappointed.
