I don't think it will cost a lot, but it will get them a profit.
Hell my friend just called MS and they now want $15 to ship a transfer cable to him when he bought his recent Elite (he bought the core unit 4+ years ago and It's finally crapping out, so he's buying a elite).
They also no longer ship out the free box/coffins for your RROD 360.
The hard drive is over priced. You can get a 1TB for $100 or less at a retail store for the PC, yet MS is charging much more then that for a simple 120 gig HD for the 360.
The wireless adaptor is $100ish for the new N one, when it should be priced at $50 or $60 at the most.
I think MS is more geared towards profit now and want to eliminate their losses. I think Natal however will be priced as cheap as possible to get people to buy them and hopefully other Natal games.
It's just that simple.
