What do I need to know? At first glance I see there seems to be maybe 3 models- standard, lite and OLED. Have I missed anything? If that essentially is it, my choice is simple - I don't need OLED as it will mostly be plugged into the telly. I'm shy of anything 'lite' as that equals 'gimped' in my mind, so standard is probably the go, not withstanding I haven't looked to see if there are different memory options etc
I guess a bigger question is, what's the gossip? If I buy one now, is the price likely to be slashed because the new console is coming out or something? For those of you have bought a lot of consoles over the years, in general would there be a tasty price drop in January? I tend to be oblivious to sales etc, so I'm not up on any 'strategy'. If there is any..most purchases I make is like buying shares- when you want some (you have cash) you buy them. When you don't want them (you need cash) you sell. But just for once if there's a chance I can save a few bucks, hell I can wait a month or two! This will almost certainly be the last console I buy.
