Ever wanted the chance to buy a Nintendo Wii for $79, Xbox 360 for $139 or even the Playstation 3 for $139. Well here's your chance. Amazon.com have set up a vote promotion which asks for customers to vote for which console they would wish to have at this lowered price. 1000 random selected winners will be picked from the votes and will be contacted by email and be able to purchase the consoles from Amazon.com for these prices. Closing of the deal ends on the 22nd of November.

The runner-up prices is as follows:
Wii: $199, PS3 40GB: $319, 360 Arcade: $219

Amazon.com this week began offering customers a chance to score a hot holiday deal for Nintendo Co.’s Wii, Sony Corp.’s Playstation 3, or Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox 360.
Though the Amazon Customer Vote promotion, customers can vote to purchase a $79 Wii, $139 40GB PS3, or a $99 Xbox 360 Arcade SKU.

The Wii and Xbox 360 Arcade retail for $249 each, while the 40GB PS3 sells for $399.

In the program, the product that receives the most votes will be offered at the heavily discounted price. Second and third place products will be offered at a less discounted price.

Amazon is offering 1,000 units of one video game system at the winning price.

The 1,000 randomly selected customers can visit the site on Nov. 22 to claim their deal.

Amazon last year offered a $100 Xbox 360 Premium through the Customer Vote program.

    Any news on whether this is restricted to Americans...?
    Or are there equivalents in other countries?

    I'd definitely pay £150 for a Wii, and a PS3.

      Ditto, I'm Canadian, I could do with buying a Wii at that price >_>

      I have money to buy it at the full price (and I've already got the other two systems), but if I can get it for such a low price, I don't mind draining my bank account more >_>

      1000 Wiis are going to be sold at that price. As far as I know, the Wii has 50% of the vote.

    Even getting the PS3 at the runner-up price would be amazing. Too bad I won't be one of the lucky 1000 to get it at that price...
