If that's the real price and the games are then also $25 cheaper, sure. They're not giving you that money for free, the average consumer spends the same amount on the system+games either way. If they decide to use a misleading pricing strategy to manipulate people they don't get to complain when people use products they bought differently to how they were intended.
