I remember in like 2008 when I got a FREE Xbox 360 with the purchase of my $700-800 laptop.

This is kind of the same situation. Microsoft is probably paying samsung $250-300 per TV in this bundle. Its not really that bad a deal for them as i'm guessing its the plain Xbox One meaning they are selling the XB1 at ~ $200-300. Which is reasonably around where they are at right now ($350 - Game and other throw ins).

nah. that is not how this works
this tv is just a random 40 inch tv with decent reviews. this thing does not sell like gangbusters by itself. so why should microsoft put a xb1 for free in that deal

samsung will pay a 50 - 150 $ cut on this bundle
microsoft will pay a 50 - 150$ cut on this bundle
bestbuy will pay a 50 - 200$ cut on this bundle

best buys cut will also heavily depend on theire inventory and if they want to get rid of unwanted stock, or if this is mainly an manufacturer promotion ;)
p.s don't take my numbers as super accurate or real. they are just to show how this kind of deals work.
