If you’re in desperate need of an Xbox 360, and by desperate I mean willing to fork out $800, then JC Penny is the answer to your problem. Retailers have been making money selling the Xbox 360 Premium Bundle at $400, so you can only imagine how much more JC Penny is making by hiking up the prices to twice of the “standard” retailer price.

Even though they’ve thrown in two bonus accessories (Play and Charge Kit and the Rechargeable Battery Pack), it’s not worth the egregious price hike. For $800, couldn’t they at least include a game?
