regardless of original intentions, the fact remains, the xbox one currently priced at $349.00 is not the same as the "launch" sku and doesn't have kinect.
The xbox one with kinect is still very much alive and available for purchase at $449.00. A $150.00 price cut would mean that the original xbox bundle price of $499.00 would now be $349.00 WITH Kinect. But that's not the case is it?
Again, to be really considered as a price cut, it should offer the same value as the original. no kinect, not a $100 price cut. palin and simple.
I'm guessing you're reffering to the original model that came in 60Gb and 20Gb with the PS2 inards to allow for some B/C. then tints.hey gutted it and came out with the 80Gb and 40Gb with no PS2 guts and no B/C and with lesser USB slots..
No, those are not price cuts. What they are are new models/new skus and new entry points. But would it sell the way it sold if it were advertised as such? Of course not, hence calling it a "price-cut" for marketing purposes.

That's odd, I haven't seen that sku since last year. It's not in stores or Amazon, other than third party resellers who have it used.
Only found it on the Microsoft store for$499, not $449.

That sku died once they cut the price, since only a handful of ppl wanted Kinect.

Considering its still available on MS's own store, then its still availabe...but at $499? talk about brain fart. MS sure aint helping get kinect into people's houses.
I personally want kinect and the ps cam for the ps4..then again, i'm one of those who got a move controler,navigator and pscam for the ps3 when i still had one...sooooo... yeah...I'm in the minority obviously.
Anyways, going from $499 to $349 to game on an xbox one in under two years sure is a large dive in price...if things go on line this, the one would be cheaper than the 360 soon lol
