This is a very aggressive and good form of moneyhatting/marketing.
Perceived value.
It's the reason it's selling. People are like, Well, I can get a 40 gig with no b/c, no DS3, and no game, or I can get an eighty gig, an awesome game, 40 more gigs of space, and b/c. The perceived value is higher than the MSRP, and higher than the difference in MSRP between the 40 and 80 gig.
This would have worked the same if MS bundled Halo 3 the game with the Halo 3 console. As we can already see it works for wii and Wii Sports.
