What is the most $$$ you'd be willing to spend on a console?

Damn, a bunch of poor people here.

500$, needs to have good hardware ofc, and also being better then the competitor ofc.

Looking at you Sony, 599US dollars..

just meth [z]

$300, apparently (the one exception to this being the PS4, that I spent $400 on. I am never doing that again)

$600 since it's the price of the PS3, but probably more if I think it deserves the price.

I paid $569.99 CAD for the PS2 back in 2002 (?) for a DRE brick and that was the last time I spent that much on a console.

Bought the 360 at $300, bought the Wii at $250, bought the PS3 at $300. Never see myself ever paying more than $300 for a console, especially now that they are being upgraded every couple years now.

haha

for consoles, no more than $400.

For PC money is no object.

I would have to say $600. Anything more than that is completely unjustifiable unless it was on par with current top of the line purpose built gaming PC's with the ability to upgrade later on. But then you might as well just have a PC. I dunno.

How is it out of line for SW? I read all the time "lems" or "cows" claimed blah, blah because someone read one person make a claim. Don't act like this doesn't happen here.

I don't see MODERATOR under your name. Its an open forum in which I am free to post. I called something out that I saw. You think that's childish, its on you.

This^^^ but if the Hardware justifies it I'm willing to pay up to $600 if the console has the games I want to play.

I expect Scorpio to come in around $450-$500 for the advertised specs but if Scorpio has a Garbage Jaguar CPU in it then it's $400 tops I'd be willing to pay for anything with a Jaguar CPU in it.

Tell me about it. Prices is of no concern for me, I know what I'm gonna get out of a console and whatever Nintendo Switch price will be, I'm buying it day one!

@kvally: lol

Just depends. If it is a kick-ass system, a lot. I do not have a set number. I go with my perceived value of the system.

While I did get the PS3 60GB when it was $600, not including taxes, games, and an extra controller. It was a gift, and I didn't spend my own money.

I wouldn't want to spend more than $400 at this current time. And I got my PS4 for $300 (plus a small shipping fee, no taxes). But given that inflation does grow over time, consoles some day will have to launch at $500. So I'll have to adjust to the times in the late future.

Most I ever did was $250 for the Wii. I guess I could go up to $300 if I had to. In my opinion, game graphics don't need to get any better. They already look enough like real life. Though I guess if it were up to me we'd all still be playing on NES.

^ This. I would eaely pay 4-digit prices if the system is worth it and I would actually like to see some expensive but powerful consoles

At this point I would only consider a Switch at the first price drop and only if there's a solid Metroid release on it, as well as many new 8+ games.

Or maybe they're just smart people who don't waste money on stupid things. And wouldn't it make stupid people poor to spend money without thinking about what they're doing?

I think 499€ will be max, but I can save up for more, got a job now.

Don't have a limit, I usually always buy consoles at launch. Paid £425 for the PS3 and same for the Xbox One.

$500 is the max, but I wont unless its absolutely worth it in all areas and mind blowing.

$400 is where I sit at, but even then I wait a bit for a bundle or a deal

$500, but it would have to be a beast of a console for that price. Launch xbox one wasnt worth it to me.

Yeah a penny saved is a penny earned. No sense giving away money for a minor console spec bump. Pretty sure almost everybody can buy a switch for example but don't make it a smart choice.

$299, anything above that isn't worth it for me.

I'd spend up to $700 on a console. I've got stacks, son. Also, if a console launches at $250 or less I will not buy that weak sauce.

Agreed. Buying any new system without a bunch of games yet isn't a wise choice.

£400

Anything more than that and I am waiting for the games to come out first to justify it. I'd rather upgrade my GPU.

$400-450. Maybe $500 if the specs are good enough.

Hell, I kept my PS2 until the PS3 dropped to $300 new.

$400 max

I would spend about £500 or maybe 550 mate

Money is no object for many here, you could make it €1000 and fans will still buy up Scorpio consoles like marijuana
