price is resonable, all those bums bitcing maybe should get a job.
You are kidding... right?
Its not about the cost in terms of weekly/monthly salary. Its about the opportunity cost (a fundamental economic principle) - what ELSE you can get with the same cash.
...
360 entertainment pack - Premium model, 2 controllers, 2 games - about $1000 (I think I got that right??).
Wii pack - Wii, Wii Sports, Wii Play (2nd controller), Zelda, Nunchuck - about $650.
PS2 or Xbox - around $200 (or less). Games retailing for $20-$30. For $300 you can get a GREAT gaming pack.
DS + 2 games - about $250.
...
$1000 will also get you a laptop, holiday, (very) cheap car, 40 DVD's, a lovely TV (etc).
Consider than a PS3 with HDMI cable, 2 games, extra controller will cost close to $1400AU - and its not hard to see why they haven't sold out. This is a purchase for either people with too much money, or people who have waited/saved a long time for a PS3.
(NOTE - EB have a trade in deal - PS3 for *only* $700 - when you trade in a PS2 & TWENTY titles).
