Today's Poll

So it looks like a $399 40GB PlayStation 3 is hitting North America on November 2. Are you getting one?
Still too rich for my blood.
Maybe...depends how good Haze and Uncharted are.
Finally the price is right! Bring on the Blu-ray era!
Can I retroactively return my $599 PS3? I feel kind of gypped.
Never! You couldn't pay me! Wii60 4 Life!
