Do people who complain about the price have a short memory or something? Its still cheaper than every past console release except the nintendo stuff (psx, ps2, xbox, dreamcast etc.), atleast over in europe it is. And just look at the hardware in there. They will probably sell its gpu next year for $500 on its own for use in pc's. Only stupid thing is that bare bones system for $300 and the price of the extra stuff (HD for $99).
I was expecting $500 for a bare bones system. I think the $400 is an excelent deal (assuming it deliveres on expectations of the system performance).
I am a little worried about the wireless controllers though. I just bought a joytech wireless for my ps2 that works on the same technology and it sucks. Half the button presses don't reach the console which sucks especially with racing games. I think I'd rather have an wired one.
