My opinion is that the Arcade model has been sitting for close to 2 years at $199. I am expecting it to be $129.99. I think its primary differences will be similar to now. I think it will be without hard drive and headset, otherwise identical.
I think the new 250 GB model that is selling at $299 will be reduced in price (likely around September). I think this will go to $199 (Sony can and will be ready to match a paltry $50 drop)
So that leaves the Kinect bundles and the question being do they go with one bundle or two. I think they they go with one bundle and I think it will be priced at $299 bundled (remember this bundle is to appeal to families and wives and sorry but a $399 bundle does not). Here is the bonus though for the hardcore crowd that wants to pick up the Kinect bundle. It will have a larger Hard Drive probably 500GB.
As far as Kinect standalone, $99 seems much more likely then $149. At $149 I pass.

the only problem with that is that its the old sku thats been at $199 for 2 yrs i would also agree that it would get dropped but they added major things to it its a whole new designed console and im 100% sure that it will be release at $199 and have more things included in it than any other arcade released in history, history also shows that MS adds to there consoles not stay the same, what happens after that is anyones guess
i would be surprised if those two skus go to 150 and 250 this yr my guess would be next year when gears of war 3 or COD MW3 releases

Nah, the arcade has and always will be aimed at the lesser core crowd, they can afford to ditch wifi and put in a ethernet cable. I think a HDD will be added, but only enough to do basic things, so a 10GB or 20GB.
