Quote:Now, if you made the argument that the consoles were more expensive after adjusting for inflation you might have had a point, but you didn't so no point was made.
In the electronics world, increases in inflation have been countered by decreases in other costs... just look at computer prices, which steadily got cheaper and cheaper over time...
Quote:Okay, that pisses me off. I bet I got screwed because I got them on the launch date and preordered. In the case of GC I actually got it at midnight in Walmart in a two hour line, and when I got to the front they had sold out of purple.
I got my GC a few days after launch at Kay-Bee, as I've said before, for $225. Memory card was also overpriced by $5. But $250? That's a big overcharge there...
