Expected. Any higher and few people will buy it. Any lower and Microsoft would be taking a pretty good loss on the product and Microsoft doesnt like to take losses.

Unfortunently for them, that means less SW sales in the long run, which is where the money comes from. This E3 is looking to be a disappointment more and more everyday, but I am holding out till the conference actually announces a price and games.

A console does not sell itself (at mid gen), which is why the scorpio marketing was bull to be honest. If Microsoft comes with the games many people (of course whom already own Xboxes) will repurchase Scorpios regardless. Its just going to be tough to convince new gamers who waited for a price cut to buy a Scorpio. You're doing the wise thing in waiting. Good man.
