Most have read the recent speculation from MCV that MS is planning on selling Natal/Wave add-on kits for $149.99, which until confirmed at the MS E3 keynote, remains in the category of speculation.
Similar lines of speculation have a Natal/Wave & Arcade bundle being priced at the same current price of the 120GB SKU Elite at $299.
These are both a far cry from some of the more enthusiastic (albeit unrealistic) predictions that MS would be releasing an Arcade/Natal bundle for $199 (some went so far as to guess $149).
At the same time, the rumor of a $149 launch price for the Natal add-on kit seem too high.
Realistically, what would consumers find to be the most attractive (and realistic) bundle pricing for Natal?
$299 for the redesigned 360 console, plus 250GB HDD and Natal kit would be an attractive package IMO.
Natal add-on kit for under $100.
Arcade SKU remains available as a starter option, at the current price or a slight reduction at $179.99. No Natal bundle in this scenario.
We'll find out in about two weeks.
