Amazon is having another holiday customers vote with game consoles in the first round. The systems available are the ultra cheap $79 Wii, the no PS2 compatibility 40 gig PS3 for $139, and the why bother 360 Arcade for $99. Wii is currently in the lead. This time winners will be randomly selected so people will hopefully have a better chance actually getting one the 1,000 available systems. The losing items will also be offered at a discounted price, but only if you voted for that item. You can vote HERE
