That's way too much for me. I live in a country where the average wage is much lower than in US or western Europe, so 500 Euro is a lot of money for me, that's 2/3 of the average monthly wage. This purchase hits my budget as much as a 2000 Euro purchase would hit your budget and I bet you don't think that a PS4 is worth 2k :P That's why it's not worth 500 for me. It's too much for me, I'm willing to pay no more than 200-250 Euro for a console. That's why I bought the Wii early in the gen, already own a Vita, but waited with the PS3 until a price cut and will wait for a PS4 redesign and a price cut. The only thing I'm not sure about is which console to buy first, Wii U or PS4.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
