Most of those people got one because of gaming. And then used it as a Netflix machine or blu-ray player.

But why would they pay hundreds of dollars more for a "new" Netflix machine? And if they own none of them, and just want a Netflix machine, why not buy a much better (for media) $100 Roku? Or even an Apple TV?

We haven't seen pricing information. Rumors surrounding a subsidized model (as some versions of the Xbox 360 were sold) have been thick.

Still, I'd be amazed if it's less than $300 new.

I received an Xbox 360S 4GB for free from my company at the time. Bought another one for $150 along with some bootleg Hdd's from Ebay. I am going to wait a year for the price drop and to steer clear from any first gen issues.
