So got a 3G one at launch, and now got a P4 Dancing All Night limited Slim for 225 (with the game at least). Got a 2nd 8GB a few black fridays ago. In all, now with access to VPKs and all, in all $500 is still a good investment considering how much life I'll squeeze outta mine now. And for serious game hours, I much prefer micro-usb and less weight in my hands.
