Yes, ridiculously expensive.

But, we have two boys, so it's Christmas for both of them. And, it DOES do amazing things ... it has a 60 gig hard drive, for one thing. That's twice as big as my PC!

And it has a wireless router, so it can serve basically as a LAN and link all our PC's in the house. I have no concept electronics and technology, but my son swears it's worth the price.

I was SOOOOO tempted to buy all they had, put them on my credit card, and then sell them on eBay for $1,000 or more. But, then I felt guilty and greedy about it, so I didn't.
