Problem with bundles

I did the bundle thing with the PSP, the GBA, the Game Cube, and the PS2, but no more.  After getting some sort of crap accessories with the PSP, I decided enough was enough.  I guess the online shopping age has matured to the point where people are willing to pay a whole hell of a lot for extra crap just to make sure they get something that they may not be able to pick up locally.  Seriously, I know some people are desperate, buy why would anyone do this EBGames.com/Gamestop.com PS3 deal?

Friday evening [Nov 17], we will have a limited quantity of PlayStation 3 20 Gig HD bundles available for online pre-order. Each bundle will include an extra wireless controller, six games, a one-year product replacement plan, a 12 month subscription to Game Informer and a Resistance: Fall of Man guide. The price will be $994.28 plus tax and handling. We expect these bundles to ship on or before December 1.

The last offer I saw for the Wii was sitting just short of $700 for a collection of games, and some crap accessories.  Once again, I ask, why?

And no, I am not writing this because I am some bitter gamer that did not get a shiny new system.  I am just a disillusioned SOB – waiting for gaming to be fun again, without all the bundles of fun.
