Here's why it's a bad deal: 'You'll be paying $99 + $359.76 in monthly fees, or $458.76 over the course of two years. Compare that with (I'm using prices from Amazon that were accurate as of May 7th, 2012) $287.70 for an Xbox 360 4GB + Kinect bundle, and two 12-month Xbox Live Gold cards at $48.41 each, a total of $384.52. So you're paying almost $75 for the privilege of laying out small cash now.' And then there's the not insignificant matter of early termination fees." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Why+You+Don't+Want+a+%2499+Xbox+360%3A +http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FIMFQSP) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F12%2F05%2F08%2F1354259%2Fwhy-you-dont-want-a-99-xbox-360%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfaceboo k) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://games.slashdot.org/story/12/05/08/1354259/why-you-dont-want-a-99-xbox-360?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
