Everybody seems to want full retail ($179) right now ... but from the posts in this thread it sounds like it's occasionally available for $100 or a bit more. Is this every few months? ... once a year? ... or were those special sales that you don't anticipate being repeated.
They seem to happen around the holidays, I would guess Labor Day is when the next sale will happen

Picked up an XBox 360S for $70 on e-bay -- works perfectly, is VERY quiet (can't hear it at all unless I get within a few inches), and has the advantage that it will work with Windows 8.1 if I should ever decide to upgrade (e.g. if the guide goes away in 2020 when '7 support is killed, that would give me 3 more years of guide support).

Was thinking about getting one of each (Xbox and Echo) and then buying another one of whichever I liked best (I need a total of 3 extenders) ... but am very happy with the Xbox, so just ordered two more.
