I will buy one after the prices drop significantly. 400 bucks is way too much.

I got it preordered. I think I have the first shipment. If not, the second. I can wait, though.

I pulled my pre-order on mine a week or so ago. While I want to play Oblivion, I've decided to wait. Nothing launching with the system really has me hyped. There's also way too much to play anyways. I don't see a need to jump into the next generation while this one is so active and still pumping out good titles. The DS will own me this Christmas.

I'll pick one up eventually, I have too much money invested in other things at the moment and it'll be that way for awhile.

If you're going to wait for the 360 to drop price, you're going to go into cardiac arrest when you see the PS3's price. ken kutaragi, Sony's spokesman, has told pepole in Japan to get second and third jobs to afford a PS3. Not to metion games are going to be a solid 70-80 bucks the whole of the systems life span.

Though Revolution and PS3 games are bound to be around or exactly the same price.

But then again, some N64 games were like, what, $60?

Conker's Bad Fur Day was about 85 US-$ in Europe. No wonder no one bought it...
SNES games were also between 60 and 75 bucks around here.

With all the comments Nintendo makes and gripes about the rising cost of video games and how they are trying to keep costs down, I seriously doubt their games will run $70-$80.

Their marketing is going twords lower prices as one of the selling points for their system while Microsoft and Sony are trying to justify the high prices they will untimately be charging. The only Xbox360 title I see that dosen't cost $60 is Kameo, and I have no clue why. It's production vaules are one of the few games that would warrent the price. Wierd.

Well, that and the whole Blu-Ray vs standard DVD. Blu-Ray is uber expensive, both the readers and the discs. HDDVD and standard DVD is much cheaper. So yeah.
