I cant see myself paying 300+ for any game system unless its something I really want which I cant see anytime in the future.

I'll be waiting for the Wii-U to go down in price and buy it (not saying official price but sales price such as black friday).


Are you really waiting for a price drop after Sony and Microsoft unveals?

Damm, what else do you want, Iwata to deliver it to you at your home ?

haha actually no. It came after I posted in some thread about the xbox being $500. Then it just hit me like a truck.



I wouldn't pay anywhere near $500 for a tablet, nor would I spend $200+contract on a phone. $500 for a console? Hell no!



i'm more like the opposite, i don't use my money for expensive phones or expensive contracts to get the phones cheaper but i am happy when i see consoles which aren't cheap at release because that means their tech will be outdated very soon.

i still don't know why i need quadcore whatever in a phone when i only want to surf on the internet and call people with it^^ the power of a galaxy s2 will be enough for that in the next 5-10 years...

Ya I know what you mean about phones. I switch every two years based on contracts, but don't really go for the phone with the highest specs. I just go with the one I like, kind of like the s4 vs iphone 5(or whatever apples next one is). I would just pick the one I feel more comfortable and looks nicer regardless of the specs. There only so many things, you do on your phone and whatever newest smartphone is out will do those task well anyways. I do like the newest tech that comes out though xD
