Hold it in, there are two conditions here. First off, Microsoft does plan to bundle in a free Xbox 360 console with a Windows 7 PC, according to their official blog. But the offer is good only for students and the PC in question must be priced upwards from $699.
The deal will be extended to those residing in the U.S., Canada and France. Although the date for France is unclear as of now, students across Canada may want to hang on to those wallets until May 27. Participating retailers include Dell, Samsung and HP among others.
Customers will be asked to supply a .edu e-mail address and a Student ID for starters. Unlike the lucky ones getting a replacement unit with a 250GB HDD, those who avail of this offer can expect to lay hands on a 4GB console. And no, the company won’t be lobbing free Xbox Live Gold memberships at buyers.
Microsoft will be tossing in the Xbox 360 with Windows 7 PCs purchased after May 22 for U.S. students.
