It doesn't matter if I'm trading in my PS3, my 360, an old PC, or anything else. That item has some monetary value, so the whole "give us your PS3 and we'll give you $100 credit" is nothing but sleight of hand. You're surrendering VALUE with the idea that you got a "deal" and you didn't.
What M$ needs to do is say "leave off the Kinect and we'll drop the price by $100" but they won't do that.

I agree with all of this. There is only one scenario that I see where the customer would actually benefit...if they had a PS3 that was broken and not running. Even then, I am not sure what the market is for dead PS3's, considering that many folks could restore with a new hard drive or blu-ray drive.
Both consoles seem to be doing well, and I do not think either one is leaving the video game market anytime soon.
