Xbox 360 Natal Bundle with 250GB HDD for $249?

Posted October 15, 2009 by James Brightman

Epic Games VP Mark Rein recently commented that he believes Microsoft's strategy with Project Natal will be to bundle the motion sensing camera with every new Xbox sold. Now Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter has weighed in as part of our "Pachter's Podium" feature, forecasting that Microsoft will entice consumers with a jam-packed Natal bundle.

"I could see a $50 price cut next year, accompanied by an upgrade to the HDD to 250Gb and the inclusion of Natal.  Yes, I said a $249.99 Xbox 360 with a 250Gb hard drive and Natal included," he stated.

If Pachter's forecast turns out to be accurate, we have to say that a bundle like that would be very compelling. Check out the rest of the feature for more of Pachter's thoughts on the motion sensing battle, the PSPgo's reception, mergers and acquisitions in the games space, and more.

That would be an insane bundle...almost too good to be true? I don't know..but he has been right in the past. He seems to nail down the console side of the business.
