I think pricing may be a bit off... gamestop/walmart/amazon all have this bundle for $300 not $400...
it is also the 'arcade' slim that is bundled, ie, the 4gb internal memory version of the 360 that runs $200. but still 200+150+40 is still a savings of $90....
Or is this an announcement that there is a 360slim-250 kinect bundle now? If so, I stand corrected, but so far have not seen that on the sites mentioned... and even the photo the article references shows a 4gb version of the 360, not the 250g version...
I say kill the bundles and just offer kinect at 100...

I think youve got your calculations wrong. if it is indeed the slim arcade version which is 200 then 200+150+40=390. so the bundle is 10$ extra ,not a 90$ saving. thats why its most likely the real slim 360 thats bundled. and if thats the case then yes its a pretty good deal,despite the high price

Article edited, thanks. Was missing the very important note that is for the 250GB model slim.

The Kinect is meant to be able to read sign language, apparently there's an app for it.
Still I'm waiting for what the guys at Good Game say about it, I'm concerned about lag, if that's not a problem then I'd say it was an impressive development.
Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

lol, how do you play a game in sign language? Whatever the case, Kinect rocks. I've already pre-ordered the Xbox Kinect Bundle which has the best of everything, IMO anyway.
