If the PS4 is $599, would you still consider getting it?

Yes.
The Vita when I bought It was what 300 and the wii u was around 350 So after learning about all the tech inside the PS4 I am sure this thing is gonna be 500 easy maybe more, its not like you are paying for a PS3, you're paying for a next gen console similar to expensive gaming PC's the thought is completely understandable. You get what you pay for.
My thoughts exactly. I'm hoping for $399 and $499 models.

no. $499 is my limit and that's pushing it. I'm going to get it as soon as I can get whatever the premium model is at that price. I'd day 1, then day 1. if it takes some time no biggie.
edit
on second thought, yes I would.

i'm more impressed with the jump from PS3 to these demos than i was when i first saw PS3 tech demos. the jump in general tech and features in the box is a lot more than PS2->PS3.
i'm buying it at launch- period.

Hell no. Maybe by the time the premium pack hits 300

Right now I'm having a major, major internal discussion with myself. I really only want to get one of the next gen machines, at least initially. I'm a huge Halo fan, but my missus is a huge PlayStation fan and loves Japanese RPGs. As someone who generally enjoys taking a dump on Sony (and I own a lot of their stuff, so that's why), I was genuinely impressed with what I saw today. I'm really tempted to plonk down the cash on the PS4 instead of the next Xbox. It depends on what Microsoft shows.
That digression leads to the fact I'm prepared to pay NZ$1200 (US$1000) for either one. It's just a question of which one. Already saving.

Go with what the missus wants. She controls the lovin, and you don't want her to withhold the lovin, do you?

Yes. After it drops to $250.
Yip, sounds about right, PS4 was always going to cost serious money for us Aussies and that's with a high dollar.

It would be great at $399, but that's only $50 more than the Wii U, so......................I'm calling at least $500. If the games look great, they have stuff I must play and the system looks considerably better, $500 would be fairly reasonable. $600???? Maybe. It really depends. I don't think they can get away with $600 again though. Now, the games are what I am worried about. I'm calling at least $70 a piece.

$599 for Sony was $1099.00 AUD here for whatever reason, so no.

I feel like most of those who are saying their waiting till it drops to $250 like the current ps3 is now are the ones who are the most vocal about BC. It's like a never ending cycle.

You can quote yourself as many times as you like, but it doesn't make consoles and tablets a good comparison. A tablet is a versatile, compact, portable device. A console is much more limited in what it does.
Besides, I paid $300 for my tablet. Sony hasn't earned the Apple tax.

No, I can afford it, but $400 is my limit, though I would want it cheaper, of course.

Yes, but only because I have a lot of disposable income. But I feel $300-$400 is the sweet spot for consoles. If that means waiting for a price drop, so be it.

Probably wait for the first price drop with a crazy bundle.
One thing I learned during this current gen was that waiting does pay off. I missed nothing by waiting. It was actually better with many benefits like getting great titles for cheaper, etc.
I'll do the same with the PS4. I may even wait for the second model since knowing Sony, there will be a slim down the road.

You forgot those overpriced things called tablets. Well, a good amount of them anyway.
You're point is still kinda weak though, we all know that consoles have hidden cost. Controllers, potential sub fee, games for sure, etc.
This is why these comparisons usually do not match up.

His $600 rig didn't include an OS, decent PSU, Case, KB/M or Controller, or Optical drive.

Phones/Tablets don't have other costs like network subscription, games, applications, and accessories?
