Well... my wife is already grumpy with me about the $700 I'm going to spend on the Xbox 360. So if you mean skyrocketing prices... then I agree.

Yeah... so you'd think. But retailers are "packaging" the Xbox 360 into bundles (like they did with the PSP) to sell more stuff. You can't buy JUST the console at launch. You have to get a bundle which includes games and accesories. So to get an Xbox 360 with the hard drive (why would you NOT want that?) you have to spend $700 for that specific bundle. Kinda lame if you ask me... but I don't want to wait until after Christmas to get the console alone.

In the future, consoles will cost $50, but games and accessories needed will cover about 2000$ total..

Good Point! To me with the right video card games look so much better on a computer. Also that damn Controler hurts my hand. It is hard enough to type, let alone try to grasp that controler. (I have arthritis)

I just went out and purchased a new digital camera. My wife was not pleased at all. I told her though that our son wants our older camera. So I will give him our older one for Christmas. I have the original box and all. So what it is used. He will not care one bit. He is a college student and will take what he can get.

My older camera is a SD100 Canon. Nice little Elph. It takes 3.2 megapixals and has been very sturdy for two years. I wanted a 5 megapixel. So I got a SD400 Canon. It is a little smaller with a bigger LCD. And Bestbuy had the wrong price on it so I got a great deal.
