Don't like how apple does this and certainly don't like nintendo does this as well. oh well I guess i will wait for a price cut na dthe redesign that will come a year or two later.

A little lesson in price.  Most people think of price as an initial payment and nothing more.  But when you actually look at price as a value over the life fo the console, things change.

Say at launch it's $250 and you own the console for 6 years (new system, new model, new color, just don't use it anymore).  That's a $41.6 per year investment.  Or $3.47 per month investment.

Now say you wait 2 years for a new model and it drops to about $200.  Now you get 4 years out of it.  That's a $50 .00 per year investment.  Or $4.16 per month.

Suddenly by waiting 2 years, you are actually paying more for the time span you use the system AND you've missed out on 2 years worth of gaming.  Not sure about you but waiting doesn't sound like a very good idea.

yeah i get it. I just went on my rant for the hell of it lol. Either way I am getting my 3ds for about $150 so its not a huge loss for me.
