Is it really worth it to be an early adopter of a console?

[loadedstatement]

I waited on the sidewalk on Launch Day for Wii. I dont regret it for a second. I picked up Zelda too. I think it is totally worth it. I would have to do the same thing now if i wanted a Wii. Wait in line for it. But the way I did it, I got it over a year earlier. And I still paid the same 250 dollar price. I dont see how what I did was a bad move in any way whatsoever. PS3 and 360 are a little bit different because they are available now and at a lower price. Its pretty much the way any retail business goes. You will almost always pay a premium for new products. If you need it then, get it. If you dont, wait because it'll most likely drop in price.
