    icing on the cake, mmmmm. all my friends are speculating $300 just to take advantage of the much higher price point of the competition. i knew nintendo wouldn't stoop to that :)

        Apple charges you $500 to install 1GB of RAM into a MacBook. Nope, I'd say Apple is sicker :)

          Simply wrong or a lie: it's $500 for two 1GB DDR2-667 laptop dimms.

            OK, well that's what Leo on This Week in Tech was saying. And this was for them to install it, too.

            Still, like 2X the PC cost
