The comparison to Halo 4 is relevant. If this is true, a bundle this packed for as low as $199 then that honestly reeks of desperation. Either way it is interesting to compare.

Lmao.  Had a good laugh at that comment.  I guess when MS announces its Black Friday deals that will just be good business, right?  Or will they be desperate, too?

I honestly said the same last year when MS desperatily tried to reach its ambiotous goal of becoming the no 1 console of 2011 that the Holiday bundles were so generous that it reeked desperation.

The point of the new Slim was to decrease manufactoring costs so that Sony could decrease the price of the PS3, without incurring a loss in profit.  It's not like they are selling the old Slim with 4 brand new games released in the last month or two.  It's not desperation, but a wise business move.
