As said before, being an early adopter...you have to pay the price...

Wait 2 years and maybe save $100.....pretty stupid thinking really.
Honestly, I have thought nothing of console price in the past, and this is coming from a guy with pretty much every available console and a high end PC.

My issue is value received. Why do I have to pay for the Kinect component that I do not want?? Why do I have to pay for a console that I cannot play off-line? Tack on Xbox Live fees which I honestly see with diminishing value next to PS+.

If you want me to pay 500 for a console (more in Canada because eff you Canada) Make it mine. When this thing launches, you may not even be able to play games because the servers are overloaded.

It is big money for a system you are renting
