Time Warner Cable Offering Free Xbox 360

My FIOS lockin at $99 is just about up and Verizon wants to jack it to $135. I think dangling this package in front of them should sweeten the pot, and if they don't flinch I get a new Xbox and $150 gift card for the same price (+ DVR) which I don't have today.

I even like the TWC tablet apps, which verizon is sorely lacking in the tablet space....

Verizon is throwing cash at new customers. When I signed up years ago no such cash was available....

Since I use W7MC this essentially gives me a FREE media center extender, which now is occupied by the sad Logitech revue....

I will report on my findings

This is proof that TWC and Best Buy are actual partners, unlike other reports that came out that suggested that employees were telling customers to ditch TWC.

sounds like they are worried about Google lol

I wonder if TWC will team up with MS to use the Xbox 360 with their cable packages? Like Comcast, Verizion and U-Verse did.

Do they charge a monthly rental fee for the Xbox like they do for all the other equipment?

My parents ordered the one year $89.99 triple package, over the phone, at their new house back in the summer. It included a $150 Target gift card (still not received yet AFAIK) and three months of free CineMax and HBO channels (over now and canceled).

No, there is no rental charge; its a free XBox 360 and $150 Best Buy Gift Card with in-store signup (or contacting the in-store rep via phone).
