I'm thinking we can expect this for the next Xbox as well.
Dumb deal but tons will do it - mostly people that live paycheck to paycheck. This package would be $459 before Xbox Live yearly subscription and tax.
$99 for console
$15 per month for two years
So $460 for the 4g Kinect bundle
If you bought all that at a store today, you'd pay $420..

Eh, since you're deferring a good bit of money its not as bad. The real reason its a bad deal is the fact that we'll almost certainly see at least one price drop, the announcement of the next gen and possibly the release of the next gen within the next two years.
