After reading all the articles and blog posts about how scarce the Nintendo Wii is going to be this holiday season, I was a bit shocked to learn what Amazon.com has going on. They have a current promotion running that could potentially allow you to buy a Wii for $79!

The Wii isn’t the only game console you can vote on in the first round, you can also vote for a PS3 for $139 or an Xbox 360 for $99.

Below are some details about this offer…

The products that get the most votes in each of six rounds will be offered at ridiculous winning prices, and the runners-up will also be sold at slightly smaller discounts. (But they’ll still be sweet deals.)

• Step 1: Vote. Browse our six rounds of great products, and vote for the ones you’d like to buy at an amazing discount.
• Step 2: Check back. Come back on each round’s buying day to see if you were randomly selected to get a deal on the product you voted for in that round.

So how do you like your chances with this offer? I mean getting a Wii this Holiday season is going to be an amazing feat… but getting it for $79 would be unbelievable!
