The bundle pricing should kick in today although we're not seeing it live on the Microsoft Store yet. According to a statement from Microsoft (included after the break) this is based on customer's "exciting" response to the recent price drops. So, is this enough of a push for you to grab a slate (or two) right now, or would you rather wait for thesequel (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/08/nvidia-jen-hsun-huang-microsoft-surface-2/)?
