Just because someone pays $2k doesn't necessarily make them stupid. Could be they're just rich and impatient, and they make more money on the interest on their banked money to cover that cost and not even notice. Yes, there really are people that rich, lots of 'em. When you can make TEN grand just sitting down and watching TV for eight hours, what's two grand? Beyond a certain point, money becomes meaningless to people. I aspire to reach that point one day, but I doubt it'll ever happen.

For normal everyday Joe's, $600 is pushing the limit. Why pay $2k, when you can buy a whole new nice computer for that, that'll do a lot more than some game box. People are just crazy sometimes.
