I mean... yeah. This was really more of the price it should have been earlier. When it still had a chance to keep more of its exclusives. XP

$499 AU = $412.33 US

I'll start seriously considering it at about $280, but until then, its still the bottom of my list, mostly because I'm cheap and broke. Mostly the second one.. Sorry, Sony.
If I do ever get the cash to get one though, I'll consider it.
But then again, as Val pointed out, there aren't many worthwhile games on the system....

It was over $1,000 at release, here. I know people who were foolish enough to actually pay that.

I would've just gotten a new gaming PC if I were willing to spend that kind of money on anything.

It's probably still astronomical in metric dollars, though. I'll hold off purchasing it until I get a Wii, Xbox 360, and a monocle.

Compelling to actually pick one up, now.

But not until I find myself a nice place.

Yeah, totally not buying one for more than 300 USD, sorry guyz

I mean, to even justify it I'd have to get a HD screen anyway, and that'd be hundreds of moneys.

They say it's "off the table."

I say they should pick it off from the floor and put it back up there if they want any of my money!

You didn't want your god damn PS anything emulation in the first place.
If you did you would have bought it when the first set came around.
The version available now for $299 has been cut to the bone for you cheap bastards.
