I'd say the $299 bundle is a reality waiting to happen...not sure if the HDD would be 250GB in that one though. A PS3 Move bundle for $299 is also a reality waiting to happen. And a 360 slim? I really don't see it, unless they want to make it look like the "Natal" (or whatever the final name will be) is a whole new console. |
A slim is nearly 100% certainty already given the leaks and the building evidence from MS itself.
A PS3 Move bundle for $299 is not even close to the realm of possibility unless Sony wishes to take another $80+ loss per console sold again. I predict a PS3 Move bundle would be $349 to $399.
With the huge cost savings MS has racked up and with the cost savings from the Slim, the combined CPU/GPU, etc. they should easily be able to bundle in Natal with a Slim 360 and 250GB HDD at $299. In fact, since Natal is rumored to be around $50-80 there may be room to release the bundle at $249 rather than $299.
I expect either is likely. MS may release a $299 bundle first, with a $199 Arcade + Natal bundle and then if momentum hasn't shifted quite enough for them they will cut down to $149/249 just in time for the holiday huge rush.
