I'm thinking about buying an Xbox 360, but am tempted to wait until the day after Christmas in hopes of a better bundle package. Right now, I know they're giving away Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance with the normal 360 package for $350. Do you think stores like Best Buy and Circuit City will have a better offer for the day after Christmas sales?

If you are willing to wake up very early to get a deal on the 360, wait. If not, just get it now.

I would say waiting would be high risk, small reward. I would get it now.

If you're tight on cash then wait. I doubt 360 will be sold out. They have plenty where I live. It's not a Wii so don't worry about it.

But if you want to save yourself more play time then get it now and go live!

It actually did sell out last holiday season so I don't see why this would be any different.
