overall, it is a nice console with more promise than real entertainment value.
from www.amazon.com
it is the best value in video gaming, and well worth the wait.
from www.amazon.com
the console is also value priced much lower than these other consoles and is in much better supply (although since it just came out, you will have trouble finding one initially).
from www.amazon.com
it is the best value for the money when it comes to video game consoles and the best thing is it gets the kids up and moving instead of just sitting in front of the tv.
from www.amazon.com
bottom lining it now: this thing is engaging, absurdly inexpensive and is far and away the best value in next-gen video game systems.

though the bundle is a good value compared to buying each separately, it's not such a good deal when you have to buy another memory card and the game is sub-par.
from www.amazon.com
end result, even if you don't care about the movie or rathet and clank, if you add the cost of the memory to 169.00 you have a value of 189.00 at the very least.
