article published on 13 April, 2010

According to Wedbush Morgan gaming analyst Michael Pachter, Microsoft will likely launch a "slim" Xbox 360 later this year, one with a 250GB HDD, and one that will likely be bundled with a Project Natal motion controller. The bundle will also sell for $299, a pretty significant discount considering the three pieces bundled. Additionally, Pachter says Microsoft will do an across-the-board ... [ read the full article ]

360 250GB HDD + Natal = $299 = £193 (most likely rounded to £199)
Wireless adapter = £45
Xbox Live (annually) = £40

Totalling £284.

PS3 250GB fixed with Assassin's Creed 2 = £259.99

WTF Microsoft. Bundle your wireless adapters with the 360s. Rip-offs.
Many price cuts yet the PS3 is still cheaper.
Actually, the PS3 would probably cost more if they bundled with Move but still, Microsoft are cleverly ripping off the mums of the world.

how is that a ripoff if theyre getting a 250gb 360?
no1 is forcing them to buy the bundle,they could probably buy the classic 360 which costs like the 190$+natal and the entire fiesta for 240$.

Exactly.
The PS3 having 250GB HDD will obviously cost more, which comes with free online play and wireless built in.

I think that the Natal + 250GB 360 is a good bundle, it's the wireless adapter.
That's a rip-off and you know it. It should be built in.

I think the Natal Xbox 360 bundle is pretty sweet, but w/o the wireless WiFi, man, i have to move stuff around again.

I thought slim Xbox 360 is a myth, i guess we're going to see one, finally!
