Wal-Mart sells the Acer brand and I purchased a laptop a couple months back for $399.

Very basic but still came with built-in webcam, windows vista, wireless internet, etc.
No problems so far with many hours of use with my daughter.

Black Friday had a couple under $350 if you were willing to live outside a retail outlet for a day. I would imagine some floor models may also be in that price range or models going out of stock.

This will fit your needs.

EDIT: Why don't you buy him a regular desktop computer? Laptops can be pretty fragile, and I don't think an 8 year old can be trusted to handle one responsibly.
