I may be off, but I'm a little put off by this move by MS to put out another SKU for the 360.  It seems early in the life cycle of the 360 to upgrad the system with a brand new SKU.

I'm not sure what they really wanted to have happen.  Unless you have a lot of spare $, I don't think that any current owners are going to go for a more expensive unit.  So the real target market are those that don't have a 360 yet.

My personal opinion is that MS waited to see if the PS3 was really going to see at it's price point and then decided, "Hey, if people are really buying the PS3, lets upgrade our system and increase the price just enough that it's nearing the price point of the PS3.  People will obviously pay."

Just my opinion and a little disappointing to me.  Please feel free to agree or disagree.

...end of line...
