Quoted from Chambahz:It makes sense that with some great games available NIB currently, there might be more cash spent on these than on other used machines. Still, look at the average price of games -they all seem to be going up to me!
I think you hit the nail on the head. I bought a NIB X-MEN LE with shaker and delivered for 6k with warranty. Why would I buy a routed, high maintenance, older tech with equal to less fun factor ( tier A) when I can buy new.
On another note, Craigslist in my area is flooded with machines at more reasonable prices at the moment than had been available for the last 6 months.
