You are indeed one of the lucky ones to get it for $600. You have very lucky boys! My friend was lucky to find one in a store too, so he also paid $600. I can't believe all the people paying over $1000 on ebay for one, it's so ridiculous.

I too thought $600 was too much money for any gaming system, but my husband broke it down and justified it to me. The fact that it plays blu-ray alone justifies the price, I don't think you can get a blu-ray DVD player for under $1000. I believe it also up-scales your regular DVDs to HD, I'm not 100% sure though. It has wireless built in so you don't have to buy a separate adapter- they run $100 if you have to buy them separate. I can't remember all of what he told me to convince me that $600 was actually a reasonable price.

We'll get one someday, but right now all our 'extra' money is buying baby things.
