When a console is being scalped, you know it's the next hottest thing.

[BuckStud]

Part of the reason why this system is going to be "hot" this holiday season is that the price of it makes it a perfect smaller gift for a wife to give to her husband.  Most of them wont play it much, but they most likely will get more enjoyment out of it than most other things they get.  I'll be buying one for myself once they're in stock.  I'll enjoy it some, but the price makes it too tempting not to buy for most people.
