Ditto on XBL ... it's the ultimate online system right now and is completely worth the cash. I wouldn't complain if it were free but then again I'm not complaining right now.
Every Nintendo console has started out as $199, so I wouldn't expect much change.
The original NES was only like $79 or $99 for the deluxe system. After that SNES was $199, N64 was $249, and GC was $199. Sure they could sell it for $199 or $250 but I'd think if they want EVERYONE to get one that they'd better go low and make it a no brainer. $149 would probably be enough ... and I think there'll be plenty of people willing to get Xbox 360 and the Wii for the price of the PS3 ... which is just ridiculous.
