As for the HDD..... no. its not a "faster running HDD" but you will get a better performing HDD due to having a better CPU and better optimization. There aren't that many different typed of HDDs that will fit into a 2.5 form factor. 5400rpm/7200rpm wouldn't make that much of a difference when it comes to price. Now if they put in an SSD? Now that would be something. As for the memory bus, thats not HDD related and also doesn't change teh cost that much. Its also kinda necesarry going from DDR3 to GDDR5. Unless you are refeering to the southbridge whih should no doubt allow for more bandwidth.
As for pricing, as someone said in this thread I don't think MS is doing this to win anything or dethrown the PS4. They are doing this to remain relevant.
