If it included an HD DVD drive, I might be tempted to buy one but the black case and larger hard drive just don't justify the $480 price tag.

Thoughts?

That's what they should have released in the first place.

But, too expensive.

Maybe after it's under $300.

I plan on getting one, just as long as its just as easy to hack/mod

How do you say it is what they should have released in the first place and then say you still wouldn't buy it?

Heck no! I want neither the 360 nor the PS3! I want a Wii! I'll get a Wii when the price comes down a bit more.

Yeah, not interested in the Xbox360 or PS3. We are happy with the Wii... Had one since February 1. I think the kids have played it everyday since (with the exception of those 70ºF+ days here in SE. WI... The kids enjoy Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Super Monkey Ball, and I like Zelda and Excite Truck... Good fun!

I still don't own a gaming console, but I have considered it.

I like the Wii for the gaming.
I like the Xbox 360 for the HD DVD add-on capability.
I like the PS3 for the Blu-ray player.

So if I really wanted to buy a gaming console just for the gaming, I would probably buy a Wii.

With demand continuing to be much higher then production capabilities, to the point where Nintendo has now had to reduce their advertising temporarily... I don't think they'll be dropping their price any time soon. Certainly not this year! If anything, they need to put money into increasing production capacity

As for the XBox 360, I'm just not interested enough in first person shooters to want one. I'll pick up a PS3 for RPG's, DDR, and the Blu-Ray player eventually though. In the meantime, I'm happy with my Wii.

I think MS would have been better off releasing the 360 with the bigger hard drive...the 20GB drive is just too tiny.

And I will buy one...once the price drops.

If this would have been the launch unit, and priced at $399, then I may just have nabbed one...

But really...$400+ on a game system? No thanks...especially since the main games I want to play are on the "Live Arcade" (read: Castlevania: SOTN).

Of this, I have no doubt.

I was listening to the Windows Weekly podcast this morning and Paul T. mentioned that he bought a PS3 and used it as a business expense. I wonder if I could do that with an Xbox Elite...
