I think MicroSoft wants the core-buyers to buy another xbox ( premium or elite )

All you need to do to get the experience is buy a hard drive.  $100 and you have the ability to do all the full game experience.  That's all a user has to do to download content, take advantage of the HDD and be able to use Marketplace to its fullest.  This puts you at almost the same cost as a premium but you didn't have to buy the full thing up front.  Unfortunately, you still don't have a component video connection and the free games are different, but you have to reward people who pay the full price up front.
