599$ today is much less of a gut-punch than the PS3's launch price back in the day. For me, it won't be a huge issue due to two factors, the first being that I'm used to paying about 50% more than that for my GPU's alone and the second is the fact that I always wait a while before I buy new consoles due to wanting a bigger library, less trouble and a slightly lower price on peripherals and software.
