How much would you spend to purchase a current generation console thread.

Wii - I bought it for $400 Au, which was its launch (and current) price, so I would certainly pay $250 US

PS3 - as it currently stands, there is no realistic price that I would pay for it, I live most of the year in a single room in a student apartment - I simply don't have the room for a PS3. I also think it irresponsible to buy a console that uses so much energy.

When the PS3slim comes out, I would probably pay $350 Au, so about $200 US. I know this'll take ages, but I'm willing to wait

360 - If I post the number I'm thinking, I'll be accused of trolling. There is not a singe 360 game that I would buy if I already owned a PS3.

 

Not to take anything away from your post (not that I agree with everything you say, but its you opinion so I won't try run you down for it), I think it reasonable to point out that while the PS3 certainly does use a lot of energy - certainly the most of the current gen consoles - my 600W computer uses even more when gaming, and most PC's, even basic store bought ones can use more than a PS3 does.

Just my opinion

 

anyway:

Wii - $300

360 (elite) - $400

PS3 - $450
