There's no reason to introduce an SKU bundled with Move and a smaller HDD if they had immediate plans to drop it for a slightly more expensive bundle with a larger drive. Most consumers would rather have the smaller HDD if the difference was $50.
While a bundle with a "free" Move controller for the same price would be nice, I really don't see mass consumer appeal in such a bundle unless there's a corresponding killer app to sell the public on the desirability of the device.
At best, this holiday season we might see a Move/PS3 bundle at $299.
Even then, there's not much point in SCE giving away the controller unless they believe it's going to soon move a significant amount of software, preferably beginning with the holiday 2010 season. This seems a bit unlikely given that the main initial usage for Move will likely be with current games (not developed for Move) modified with firmware updates to implement Move controls.
Either way, it will be interesting to see what SCE's response will be to the presumed re-tooled, cheaper Xbox with Natal. The response may actually be gauged to the sales numbers following the introduction of said bundle. If it doesn't magically start selling like the Wii, they may not bother to do any price readjustments.
