That is a CRAZY bundle, and it's M$ planet to clean out inventory for this Fall's launch of Natal, and probably a new chipset...damn...new console for me...maybe.

Huh? Isn't that a bit premature to to a bundle to clear out inventory for something happening over 6 months away?

Well, I wouldnt think so, if they have a new chipset in the works... know personally, if their is a new 45nm/32nm chipset, I'll be replacing my MW2 360 with the newer chipset, and you have to figure at this point in the lifecycle of the console, the manufacturer probably has 2-3 quarters of material either onhand or in the ordering channels that need to be cleared out.

They definately have a new chipset in the works. Probably a fairly big step since there wasn't one last year. They wouldn't have that much material built up, they probably just have about 4 weeks of supply on hand at most, any more than that would be pretty wasteful and expensive to store.
