$499 is too much for a console that has so many restrictions. $399 would have been a much better price point.

Very curious to see how things go after the launch period.The macro economic environment is far worse than in 2006.

499$ with or Without XBOX live ??

I cant wait to see its mexican price, for relevance the wiiu launched at 300 and 350 dollars and its mexican price was 6000 and 7500 pesos so I expect at best a 9000 price point

Imagine if PS4 was £350 on launch.

a liitle steep... seems Sony can undercut MS now that we know that the camera won't be included in all models...I think Sony will have a $400 & $500 models

only thing is if MS was going for the casual market, they might have lost them with that price...

Disgusting price difference between UK and US. I'll probably import US.

EDIT: UK price in USD is $670. Yeah.

Unfortunately, this will be a lot of people's reaction. 

Guys need to filter in that you have to pay for Live every year on top.

Did they mentioned any other bundles something? Is it just one price? What comes inside?
