Looking for a dirt cheap way to get a next-gen system? Amazon has the answer. They will be selling either Wiis for $79, 40 GB PS3s for $139 or Xbox 360 Arcades for $99.

Yep those prices are real … well sorta.

This is a part of Amazon’s “Customers Vote” promotion. First you vote on which system you would like for that price. Then on Nov 22nd, 1000 voters who chose the winning system are randomly selected to get to buy it for that price.

Sounds easy to win? It isn’t, but it’s worth giving it a shot.

This is at least an improvement over last year’s rules when I tried it. Last year it was a first come first serve type of thing on Thanksgiving Day. If your internet service didn’t come from Nasa, you were screwed. I kid you not, faster than you can click refresh, 1000 units - SOLD.

So go vote and cross your fingers. I certainly will be.

I figured the Wii would get the most votes. I would have went with the PS3 since its the one i don't have.

I just sold my 20G PS3 to my high school buddy for $200.00 that he will probably take 6 months to pay me for. Thats pretty cheap!

I remember it last year. I went for the 360 deal and my 512k connection got completely owned by faster ones. The site pretty much crashed when the deal went live anyway, so those that got in were lucky.
