$399 sounds right.  And it will sell well at that price.

Yup! Well enough anyway as it would be just one of four SKUs. I guess this is the reason why Microsoft discontinued the Premium because it would have been too damn confusing if they hadn't!

  • $199 -> Arcade
  • $299 -> Arcade Kinect
  • $299 -> 250GB
  • $399 -> 250GB Kinect

Although I think this works better:

  • $169 -> Arcade
  • $249 -> 250GB
  • $269 -> Arcade Kinect
  • $349 -> 250GB Kinect.

That way theres a nice graduation of prices and there aren't two completely different SKUs at the same price.

    * £149 -> Arcade
    * £249 -> Arcade Kinect
    * £199 -> 250GB
    * £299 -> 250GB Kinect

Kinda proves how overpriced Kinect is here lolz

Arcade with 20% Vat = $199

Arcade Kinect = $332

250GB = $265

250GB Kinet = $398

Yep, its a little over priced by about 10% taking into acount the increase to 20% VAT in January (right?)

Kinect Standalone = $172

Perhaps they assume the pound is going to fall relative to the dollar?



Tease.

I thought the same thing and was curious what sort of bundle it could be.

$399 makes the most sense for the price of this bundle. Now with 2 bundles, I wonder which one will make the biggest impact. My prediction would be the Arcade bundle, seeing as Kinect is aimed at casuals and most of them probably don't care about having more harddrive space to download content on to.

I would definately say the Arcade bundle. The 250GB's $100 premium is a little over-priced now that all Arcade units come with 4GB of space. Personally it would be better if they reduced that premium to $80. I think my slight price adjustments make a lot of sense given the relative value which exists between the console SKUs now. I suspect that the overall sales ratio of the Arcade to 250GB console will skew even more strongly towards the Arcade.



Tease.

$359 sounds so much better than $399.

The problem with Xbox360s now is that, i can't decide which one to get and when to get it.

Gotta wait for this SKU to come out and how much it'll be.
