I have always been an early adopter, and no I don't have a lot of money, I save for certain product releases because I am a confessed techno-whore, and I would gladly pay any price for the PS3, if I hadn't gotten burned so badly in the PS2 launch... now I am definitely once bitten, twice shy. My launch PS2 broke, and suffered a slow, miserable death, where it worked less and less reliably. Sony of America's warranty sucks ass, and they don't seem to be keen on changing it any time soon. Because I have to save for system launches, there is no way I can afford to buy two PS3s if one goes belly-up after the 90-day warranty period. Because of that awful experience with PS2 launch, the PS3 may be the first console I haven't purchased on launch day since the SNES.
The problem is, with launch prices the way they are, you are really paying for the luxury of having a PS3 for longer than everybody else... it doesn't seem worth it to me to pay full launch price unless you get it on launch day. If I don't get it the first day, I might as well wait for the price drop. Sad.
