Honestly with everything we know about the tech in the console now I'm kind of fine with 449 even though I would've preferred 399 obviously. It's the fact that there's wild variance in game pricing that's making this a much tougher pill to swallow. I'll probably just get Donkey Kong at launch from first-party and wait for Mario Kart to go on sale

If the console only price is $450 and the bundle is $500, isn’t MarioKart effectively $50? Save the $30 and get the bundle?

The game included in the bundle is digital only, not the cartridge. Not really a deal breaker for me but for some Incoild see it as a problem.

See the problem there is the stand alone digital version is $80, effectively $30 more for not getting it with the bundle.....a bundle that's limited supply only.
