It's pretty close to getting a $100 discount directly, especially at a store like walmart... even if you don't want to do any additional shady deals or involve friends... you can just buy the xbox, get the gift card, and use it next week to buy groceries at walmart instead of your usual grocery store...
a setup like that is probably slightly less convenient, so have to figure some convenience cost, perhaps 20%, so figure the xbox is really costing you $120...
