Hmm....buy a 360 Arcade and Blue-Ray Player for $250, rumor has it.

Then pay an extra $150 for the HDD and wireless internet. Or pay the PS3 difference with your first XBox Live Gold fee.

Why bother? Get a PS3 for $299 which already has the HDD and wireless capability if you are in the market for a Blu ray player and a games console.

There is no economic reason to get this deal over a PS3, unless you really do only want an Arcade and don't want XBL Gold. In that case, sure saving $50 is saving $50 and every bit helps.

Now. Getting it makes complete sense if you are all about the 360 exclusive games. If you can only get the games you really want to play on 360, then getting a blu-ray player on top for an extra $50 is a sweet deal. Or use the $100 to help you get the HDD and wireless.

Yeah if you want all that stuff, not everyone does.
