For me this won't be to big of a deal because I have a decent job and fit into the late 20s age group that can start to afford the toys would like to get But for your basic 13-21 year old who can really make up a big portion of video game sales that is alot of money to eather ask for or have to work to make, unless you are one of them kids with the silver spoon in the mouth thing. I guess we will see when Nintendo and Sony release their next generation systems if they match microsoft with price or try to mark theirs down some
Of course it's a lot of money. Gaming is a lot of money. But I still don't understand your complaint when they are already taking a price hit to give it to you for the price they are. They could charge you the cost of the system+ some and sell it for like $600. As stated before, the processor alone when they put it out for the pc will probably sell for more than the system is.
And by the way I guarantee you there will not be a price drop when the ps3 comes out. I'd bet half a grand on that. That's what Halo 2 is for.
