So cheapest 360=$199 then 250gb=$299
cheapest PS3=$299=pretty much same prices we have since last year=pretty much the same sales for the rest of the year going on to next year?
also i believe kinect will cost over $100 when sold separately b/c if there charging $100 when bundled that would mean they want more to just go out and buy another 360 instead of just buying kinect on its own resulting in higher HW sold then if kinect was the same price as it is in the bundle

You wish.
They say $199 now, come christmas they'll drop it to $149.
Kinect could also be $69 - $149, my personal opinion on it is it'll be $99.99. Bundled with a 360 Slim Arcade for $199 if Microsoft are prepared to take a $50 hit.
If you think $299 will be the lowest priced bundle this xmas you're soooooooooooooooooo wrong.

the article crleary states new 360s arcade with kinect for $299 if the drop the console by 50 like you say wouldnt that mean $249? or are they planning on releasing kenict in november for $99 and then a few days later droping that also by 50 to get to your $199 price piont?

"Kinect will be available as a bundle with the new Xbox 360, and though there isn't any official pricing information on that one just yet"
Fuck what the article says, it's what Microsoft says that matters, and they don't mention any pricing on bundles OR kinect.
They're going to say Arcade slim is coming out at $199, why the heck would they say $149, just think of all the people that would stop buying $149 fat arcades, let alone $249 phat elites.
So ya $149 arcade along with my estimates Kinect costs $99. a $50 discount cos it's a bundle = $199.
This is the most favourable position for Microsoft and most likely IMO. However if Kinect is $149, that's still a $249 bundle. NOT the same price as a PS3 or anywhere near the $399 PS Move bundle the extra controllers that most people will want.

But the $149 Slim Arcade would already be sold at a loss (because until now the fat Arcade was sold at a loss even at $199 according to MS). And so would the $99 Kinect (that thing must cost more than $99 to build). So the total loss for Aracde Kinect bundle at $199 would be more than $50. :/
Thus I more believe in a $249 Arcade Kinect (and $349 Elite Kinect).
