If this is true, it's very weird. 1. Why would Microsoft think -- especially with the evidence of the PS3 and the Wii! -- that an even more high-priced system was a good idea? All it does is narrow the perceived price gap between the PS3 and 360, which isn't in Microsoft's interests. 2. Why on earth would any gamer buy the limited edition, knowing that in a few months it'll be available for much cheaper? A deep, abiding love of black? If all this does is delay their price cuts by a few months and give them an opportunity to extract a bit of cash from the wealthy, well, it's not the worst decision ever. But it seems like it'd be better to wait a few months, introduce these machines as the regular Premium, drop the prices as appropriate, and go from there. Launching a more expensive SKU, even temporarily, is just bizarre.
