In a pure dollars and cents view, the Microsoft deal is better because the starting price is much lower and the price of an Xbox 360 4GB is $50 more."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/lpt/auto/1306431395.usr20447.jpg" style="border: 0px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Being a student is hard and Microsoft hears your pain. That is probably why they have decided on being generous in their promotion to let students get their game on with a free Xbox! No, this is not some chain email where you have to forward to 50 friends, and you do not have to become a fan of some random group on Facebook. All you have to do is buy from a select group of Windows 7 notebooks. Maybe this is a drive to keep notebook sales up as tablet sales continue to sky rocket. Maybe they figure that there are a lot of students who have turned in their PS3s and need a new gaming console. Whatever the reason, it looks like a fair deal for anyone looking for a new computer and does not mind some fun on the side!</p>
