XBox 360 Prices Go Absolutely Apeshit

Poster: NachoKingP

OK, I understand that it's the "next greatest system" and everything, and that people will want some games and extras and stuff, but this is bordering on insane. This page from GameStop shows an "ultimate" XBox 360 bundle for no less than $1,199.83. Any game system bundle that involves a comma in the price is too high by at LEAST 70%. The bundle includes 11 games (which of course are all subject to availability at time of launch), a wireless controller (not sure if it's actually a second controller or the one that comes with the system), a "play and charge kit" (not sure what that does, I can't imagine that the wireless controllers wouldn't come standard with a recharger...), a rechargable battery (duh, I would imagine that the play and charge kit would use one of those), a 12 month subscription to X Box Live Gold, and a 1 year replacement plan. Wow. That has got to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Aside from the fact that the controller, charger and battery are three completely seperate items, 11 games? I know that people get giddy over new stuff, but come on, it brings the price to just about $1,200. Also, when looking at the specs for the actual system, it comes with a WIRED Live communicator in the unit with the hard drive included. I thought everything was supposed to be wireless. This pricing for 360 is getting retarded, and if Microsoft thinks that they will get millions of people to pay that kind of money, they are sorely mistaken unless this system can do everything from play games to cleaning my room and doing my laundry for me.
