How much are you willing to pay for PS4 or 720 @ launch?

Now I realize we don't know exactly what features or specs they will have, but anyone who is a fan or has knowledge of the industry has a good idea of what they want and expect from these systems, so what is your absolute limit in spending for these systems when they finally come out?
I have no interest in any more Microsoft systems unless they announce Shenmue 3 as an exclusive for 720, and then I'd pay any price to have it on day one. Barring that improbability I wouldn't pay anything for the system. For the PS4 I wouldn't pay more than $400 because paying more than that for any console is LOL in my humble opinion.
What about you guys?

For me getting a 720 at launch is a done deal with a PS4 sometime soon after. I'd be comfortable paying up to $500 for either of them.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

LastFM$300 max, and even then the system would need to surpass my expectations and have a lot of killer games for it. I'm in no rush to jump into next-gen gaming- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

If it was under $300 maybe. If above that, I'd just wait. Who am I kidding? I'll just wait anyways.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Feb 1, 2013 2:53 pm GMTI won't spend more than $300. I will wait for the first price drop or great bundle. Unless there is a true killer ap. I will buy PS4 first most likely and wait for 720 probably a few years.

I'd prefer it was less, but I'd pay $500 for the PS4. I'll be surprised if it is that high though.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

LastFMPricing the PS4 at $500 when a lot of casual gamers would see the console as a minor upgrade would be such a huge mistake- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

$10,000. Each. For Xbox 540. And PS4. From the scalpers. On Ebay. Cause I'm rich. And that's how I roll. I wear Gucci. And Prada. And Armani. And Versace. And they might get stained. Standing in line. For a console. On launch day. By the smelly BO gaming nerds.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

$300
I don't plan on getting the 720 at all. And I don't plan on getting the PS4 right away.
- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Feb 1, 2013 3:27 pm GMTI have zero intention of purchasing either new console at launch. To get me to do so, they'd have to launch at no more than $250 - I'm talking about a mid-range to premium model, not some 'starter / no hard included' bullsh*t SKU - and have at least 2 launch titles that I desperately want to play. And there's just no way either of those is going to happen.

"For evil men account those things alone evil which do not make men evil; neither do they blush to praise good things, and yet to remain evil among the good things they praise. It grieves thems more to own a bad house than a bad life, as if it were man's greatest good to have everything good but himself."

I'm not in too much of a rush for next gen games, still backlogged.
$400 for the PS4 if there is some killer software and backwards compatibility

Around $700 for Ps4 (not interested in XBox). Depends on if there is online subscription, hardware specs and so on. I may pay a little more than that if it seems real good. Ps3 launched in my country for >$900.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

So $50 more than the Wii-U even though the Ps4 will likely be 3-5 times more powerful
