@kber81---i live in the states and you got hosed at that price



 

Around the Network

Value based.

PS3 300-400
360 200-300
Wii 50-100



all - free to $250

 edit:
Let me expand on this. I will take any of these for  free.

Since I have absolutely no intention to buy a PS3 or 360 if I came accross one of these for $100 or less I would buy it. Other than that, nada.

As for Wii, I would not have bought it, if it were more than $300. For me its only a game machine, I could care less if it can play music or movies or anything else beyound playing games. I am really looking forward to it expanding it online capabilities, in related to gaming. But, it is well worth the $250 I paid.

Hmm, it's Europe. At least we have free medical care and don't need a lawyer so often as people in States... No magic here. Official launch price of PS3 - 2399, now it costs 1999 ($765). Same start in all Europe - 599€.

You poor poor soul.

...

I mean that literally too.

No worry... it isn't such a big deal for me. Especially lately. I'm pretty shocked with your reaction. Standard in USA is pretty high... definitely higher than in Poland. How long it takes to earn $1000? One week?

Maybe there's a currency function in here I'm not seeing.  $900 is way higher than $600.

PS:  Awesome signature.  ^_^



Around the Network

Nintendo Wii: 1000$
Playstation 3: 700$
Xbox 360: 250$
---------------------------
The amount I paid for my consoles:
Wii:300$
PS3: I think it was like 640$
Xbox 360: 232$

Ehh, I think I got off pretty easy.



360 - I paid $399 for the premium ($421 after taxes)
Wii - I paid $266 for my Wii
PS3 - my sweet spot is $250 with BC, and the max I'd pay is $300 with BC. Without BC? $100. I would buy it at those prices just for the BR player, but it would have to have BC or no deal.



PS3- dont want one yet but I say the sweet spot is $200

Wii - Have one max I would pay is $300, sweet spot is $150

X360 - Have one max I would pay (I got the system with 3 new good games for 460) $300 sweet spot is $200.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

 So you never use it for Youtube, browser games, music, or photos?  I think it is fun for all of those.  Sometimes I put pictures of couples in it, have them come over and put the jigsaw puzzles back together.
