No kidding. The XBOX 360 (AKA the HALO3BOX) is about US$450.
Which is what I can buy a new PC for. However, the consoles are far better at games than the PC, because I'm just not dealing with the video card wars until they come out with real non-binary-only drivers for Linux that don't urinate all over my kernel. Until then, I'll keep using my Voodoo 3 or whatever I have handy.
A Nokia N800 is only US$400, and I've had an absolute BLAST playing with that. More fun actually than any of the games on my current XBOX, except for HALO/HALO 2.
So I'll buy one when HALO 3 comes out. Maybe. If there's some sort of sale or special. I'm not one of the guys that's happy with something off ebay, I've had too much electronics crap out (Palm, I'm looking at YOU, bitch)
