It’s no secret that Microsoft is trying to make a big push following the recent troubles over at Sony, and they’ve just announced a student-centered deal which will be giving away Xbox 360 consoles to students.
With this sales boost attempt coming, just a day after the PayPal announcement and $9.99 3 month Xbox Live deals, a noticeable jump in sales is pretty likely.
Let’s take a look at the current deal:
If you’re a student in the market for a new laptop for college, this is a pretty enticing option - though it’s likely not the best bonus, if you’re serious about your studies.
Get a free Xbox 360 4GB console with the purchase of a Windows 7 PC $699 or more, at participating retailers in the US from 5/23-9/3 or while supplies last. Verification of student status required. See participating retailers for full details.
Either way, an entire console seems like a pretty good thing. Game Rant crew members who are still completing college-work can confirm: Both a laptop and Xbox 360 are used extensively during any regular stay at University.
Microsoft even made a nice little video to celebrate the deal:
