$100 off for removing something that probably adds less than $50 to the cost of the system? I suppose total redesign, reduce size of box, put power brick inside the box. But still don't see how that knocks off $100. I suppose somewhat cheaper bill of materials for all components will help knock down the cost too.
Still bit of a struggle to sell a console that's the same price as the main competition with a key piece of kit (for most potential customers) missing, while retaining a piece of kit that's pretty under utilised.
So seems rather unlikely to me.
