    That's not much at all. Before Christmas, Costco was selling it with a handful of game, xbox live, two controllers and a few other things for $250.

    If they'd bundle a free Steel Batallion controller, I'd buy one in a second for $149.

    Nobody has ever had definitive numbers but it's estimated around $50 at the current price point. Going to be more at $149.99
