There has been much talk about how Nintendo treats its older fans..But how about Sony/Microsoft?

700€ as first day, and 3 year later you can get it for 300e.

This what happend to my friend...He was really pissd off.

I bought my 40gb ps3 for 479..

Now I could get so much more with 300€.

And my roommate bought Xbox 360 elite when it was released and now they again cut its price to 269€...

Feeling like Sony/Microsoft has fu:d you?

no. its common sense that a premium will be paid if one is an early adopter.

Thats why I never buy first day. I wait till a few price drops.

Although, I'm sure whomever bought first day did get some value over those 2 years of use that I didn't.

Everyone knew the prices would drop. You get what you pay for. An extra year with my PS3 was worth the price difference.

No. This generation has seen much slower price drops than any past generation.

If anything, this gen gives more value per time unit, and also it's gonna be a record long gen.

Electronics always drop in price, always. Your friend kwen a slim was coming, because Sony made a PSOne and PSTwo.

This gen. was most likely the last time I bought all my consoles on launch. That being said, I don't feel like they have given me the middle finger because I have already gotten almost 3 years worth of use out of my PS3 and Wii and almost 4 years from the 360. I'd say years of entertainment are worth the extra money.

well i was an early adopter of my wii and i love ninty.....but i don't mind now if they drop the price cause i have had three extra years with it...worth it but for people who bought a ps3 or elite in like may sorry for them the most...

I dont see how anyone can complain about Pricecuts, if they bought the launch models.

People expect the prices to stay the same forever?

How? I'm the one that chose to buy early... Common sense says prices drop over time.
