Amazon has already started running hourly lightning deals as part of their Black Friday Deals Week and I saw this one coming up for 2PM Eastern (11:00 in Seattle): The Xbox 360 Kinect 4GB Bundle will come with a $100 credit (presumably for video games or any Amazon.com products, although I can't tell this early), while it is in stock and for one hour maximum. This is the same console bundle I bought last year (and also bought for my Mom for Christmas, which was a huge surprise), but I didn't get this huge credit!I've programmed this post early, so in case I missed my guess on exactly which bundle is featured, you can look on the GoldBox page to double check the exact bundle included (there is a Holiday bundle with a couple of games, but I don't think it will be the one included in the deal). I also suspect this will sell out fast, so it's a bonus post for those that catch this online or subscribe to Twitter alerts. I've set the post to publisher 5 minutes before the deal goes live, to give you a bit of lead time to get the the GoldBox page and wait on it.
