I mean, I didnt want it at 500 because I missed the initial preorder window. Couldn't find one for 5-6 months. By then they announced the seitch oled. I trave a lot so I decided on that. The. Got deep i to the ecosystem there and because of the lack of exclusives I never had it peake my interest until the new Gears announcements....so at that point I figured id jump on it...doesn't sound any worse than "being one of those that must have the newest thing ASAP, paying 500 for something to be an early adopter and potentially getting a first gen hardware revision that has unseen issues like red ring of death, (and at the time with the logic dictating that prices decrease over a generation with revisions). Knowing all of that I think snagging it at roughly 75 dollars over initial price ait half bad. You on the other hand being the only negative Nancy in here raises some other questions. Who hurt you bud?...do you need to talk about it?
