$500 isn't that bad. The PS2 was more when it debuted... So yeah, I have no issue paying $500 for a new system. It's worth it, I've been an early adopter for every console gen, this one will be no different. I know it's possible to save some bucks and wait for an inevitable price drop. But for the tech in these units, $500 isn't that bad of a price.

In order for me to pay $500 day one, it will have to have ATLEAST 3 must have games that fit my interests and another 3-4 that are unique to the system. I also want as close to a truely Next gen experience on games like Madden, NBA 2K14 and CoD. If those titles are just ports from the 360 and PS3 with minimal updrades, then Ill wait.

I'm not sure I will buy one at all unless they step it up with exclusive games... The rumors are that they concentrated on being an all-in-one box, if there focus isn't on the gaming experiences, I will probably stick with the PS4 and PC.

$500 that mean its going to be £800 even though that the $ to £ is always lower but not when it comes to thing like this lol. So no even if its £500 but if its £250 too £300 i just might have to. :D

I set aside $540 for my next gen budget so $500 is the max that I will pay for a console. That means PS4 or Xbox. Which ever one has the better launch. I have my doubts about the Xbox's launch but I have not 100% made my decision so they still have a chance to pull me during their event on Tuesday or E3.

i learned my lesson years ago about buying consoles at launch, just been burned too many times you know? eventually they are going to come out with a slimmer model with more memory and upgrades and for cheaper, and will probably have a game bundled with it.i wasnt let down with the 360 at launch it never red ringed and i enhoyed the games but man the new xboxes are so much better and here i am stuck with this original model becuase theres no need to upgrade other than, wireless internet and appeal. i would loooove that star wars xbox though lol

I would have to be totally blown away by any console to spend $500 on it.

That kind of money will buy you a top of the line graphics card, so a console would need to offer me a lot of killer exclusives before I would even consider spending anywhere near $500 for it.

I'm far more likely to buy a console when it is $300, and will almost certainly purchase a "720" and a PS4 when they are $199.

Having said that, if the next Xbox requires a kinect to be on at all times in order to work, I will never own one. Privacy invasions are not welcomed into my house.

I dont know much about the new system. I do know i really HATED anything and everything about Kinect. If Kinect is prominently a part of the new xbox, then count me out.

I'm going to wait until the system is actually announced before I make a purchasing decision. Everything we have heard up to this point is still just rumour.

I haven't made a 100 percent decision on which next-gen system to get. But it looks as if the Xbox console is going to be less about gaming and more about entertainment with all the apps and stuff that's going to be with it.

this would be a better question if all info on the next xbox weren't just rumors at this point... but no, i will wait until it's 300 dollars since i will only playing exclusives on it. that will give it plenty of time to build up a good library of them too.

For $500 I better be getting at least a game and/or second controller. Either way I'm going to wait about a year to get either the new Xbox or PS4 (will get Wii U as soon as Smash Bros. gets a release date). That way there will be more games and see if any system has RRoD type failures.

I'll only get it when interesting games no longer come out on the 360.  Plain and simple.

Don't buy immediately and try to get a second generation console so they've worked out any potential RRoD failures like DJSAV_101 said. In saying that, I did pay ridiculous amounts for my 360 back on launch and I too recall paying over AU$600 for my original PS1 with 1x controller and just the demo disc lol. So yeah it's nothing new to people who purchase consoles.

Way to early to tell what I would pay for the 720, It all depends what's in the box and what games they are bringing to the console and what their competitors are doing and what the difference in power of the two consoles are and what price the PS4 is going to sold. Only then will I know if I will pay $500 for the 720. Do I have $500 to spend yes and a tad more doesn't mean I'm going to...No until I know more about the console I can't see how anyone who's a proper gamer would be able to answer this.

Well, It wouldn't be much of a problem to spend $500 on a new console as I am now. But who knows what my situation will be when the console actually comes out.

 

But, As long as it has good games on launch, sure. It probally won't, though.

No.Way. Unless, somehow, Sony messes up.
