Fiancée and I took turns waiting to pay full price at the midnight release, and even turned down a $2,000 offer for our (#2 out of only 12 available units) spot in line. Neither of us has regretted it for a second. I see it this way: we've been able to enjoy our PS3 2 years, 9 months and 8 days longer than people that bought the slim yesterday for $300 less. That works out to $0.30 per day of PS3 awesomeness, PLUS I have backwards compatibility, SACD playback, 2 extra USB ports and a memory card reader. It was worth every penny!

PS: We just bought 2 slims tonight! 1 for the bedroom and 1 for my niece & nephews! I've been wanting to get them one for a loooong time. Even though I don't regret buying our 60 gig on day 1, I still appreciate the price drop.

You're welcome!
