$99 Xbox + Kinect Bundle with Monthly Sub Rumour (Sounds Bonkers)
That would be a $459
Or... this...
According to an exclusive story on the Verge, Microsoft is going to head first into the 'give away razor blades and then sell razors' route with a strange Xbox 360/Kinect deal that would cost you more than actually just buying the kit.
Verge's Tom Warren says, "Microsoft is planning to launch a $99 Xbox console package with a monthly subscription as early as next week, according to our sources."
The deal would see "the 4GB console with a Kinect sensor at its range of Microsoft Stores in the US, subsidized with a monthly cost of $15. We're told that the two-year subscription will provide access to the Xbox Live Gold service and possibly some additional streaming content from cable providers or sports package providers. Customers who sign-up for the deal will also be covered under a two-year warranty."
The maths: $299.00 + $120 = $420 would be standard as it stands. The new deal would be 24 * $15 = $360 + $99 = $459.

Those maths dont take into account the two year warranty though, so in effect its $39.00 for an extra year which isnt brill still as i believe 5 year warranty can be picked up for about the same price.
