Yes I assumed that the special edition would come with a copy of the Halo 3 game. That would have been logical. Why have a game themed console and not include the game that it is themed on. Had the game came with the model then you might have been justified in thinking you got a reasonable deal. However without it you realize your going to pay a lot of money. Especially considering you do not have to.
You can buy the two low end models and save fifty dollars or eighty dollars. The savings can cover the cost of the game you supposedly covet. When you factor in sales tax that makes a huge difference. Further more it makes you wonder what the hell the price cut was for in the first place. Microsoft seems to think this special sku is a great value.
This one decision is going to cost them a lot of sales they could have had if they had done the logical thing. They may still change their minds, or they might intend to offer the game free with the sku later. Who can be sure, but right now it looks like an expensive paint job, and your not getting the house with it.
