The bolded part is of course said because that bundle is $499. Which is a terrible value considering a regular console with game is $399 max. 1TB (well, a 500GB upgrade is definitely a bad deal, especially with XOne's ability to use external drives that are considerably cheaper...)

There is still 15 days for MS to drop the price. If that bundled gets lowered to regular $399, they will certainly win. But right now, I find it a bad price-value proposition. 

Had forgotten about the bolded there.  Definitely not a great value then on the bundle.  Probably will do worse than I am thinking.

ms want to make money on that bundle

if u want great value, u have to buy one of the others.

 

they need a better margain. and that 499 bundle is just perfect

Sure, perfect for MS, but terrible for consumers.

You can actually buy a regular console, CoD game separately, and have enough money for a small external HDD. Not to mention you get another free game with a cheaper bundle.

They are really fishing for suckers with this one...
