Get an Xbox 360 Elite for $250, but only until October 5th

Starting today, you can get an Xbox 360 Elite for $250. That is, if you can deal with mailing in the $50 rebate form and waiting for your check to arrive. Of course, one way to look at it is you'll surely have the check in time for holiday shopping. Right? And you have to admit…getting an Xbox 360 Elite for $250 is a pretty amazing deal, considering not too long ago it sold for $399.

But, you better act fast! As the Microsoft Xbox website says, "You can get a $50 rebate on the purchase of a new Xbox 360 Elite Console from September 22 to October 5, 2009."
