I'm no gaming fan and don't know too much about pricing but it seems too expensive no matter what it has to offer. You can get a nice PC with that money.

I'll wait until the price drops to umm.... like .... 199 or 299... in the meantime, some of my hardcore game-playing friends will buy it on the first day and I'll just play on their system lol
