I bought my Xbox 360 for $199 at Target and got a $50 gift card around last christmas. Pretty sweet deal. Granted, it was not special edition and it was an arcade version. Since i already had a hard drive and several controllers it was the best way to go for me. It would be nice if we could get some pics of the console. The term "Special edition" is very broad.
