I'm not going to buy one at $300 - ever. I spent that much on my first PSX, and it's one of those 'turn me upside down, pray, and maybe I'll work' models... I even bought one at a garage sale from a friend for ten bucks, and it's even worse than mine. I swear, I've only had one or two Sony products that haven't crapped out on me... Yeah, the games are great, and if you like the hack-n-slash, you really need to check out Devil May Cry - it's one of those games that takes me back to the glory days of gaming... Give me Smash TV anyday over most of these new games...
