I had some extra cash so I picked it up. I've been playing the shit out of ZombiU and Black Ops 2. Black Ops plays great on it.
I thought $300 was a solid starting place for a new console. I understand some people not wanting to drop that much but I had it available. Its great as far as party games go as well.
It is not that bad of a price. The controller really doesn't intrigue me though and I already own a console right now.
