When in the generation do you buy your consoles?

[Mafaveli]

The Snes and Wii are the only two consoles i've purchased close to launch (month or 2 after launch basically at full RRP) but every other console when the price has reduced sufficientley (about £100-£150) near the end of the consoles life cycle, where it then has a solid library. Of course I freeload of friends and family while waiting to make my purchase. funnily enough my brother has bought a 360 close to launch im waiting for the ps3 to drop sufficiently in price (i guess im gonna wait till it dead) cus its still at £299.99
