$399?  I can swing that.  Now how do I get this thing through the door under my wife's nose.  Of course the credit card charge will be a big waving flag   Ooh well, gotta have my toys, and this baby is going to be my new center piece.
Thanks for the heads up.  
Glad to see that they are including the component HD cord.  I will spring for a the VGA and cabling in '06.
Hmm?! what should be my first game.  I think for the money it's gonna have to be the Oblivion http://www.elderscrolls.com/home/home.htm
