The amazing part, was the price on the 2600 when it came out. it was either 149.99 or 249.99 I don't recall exactly, I just remember I was in shock when I opened it up on Christmas. I think it was 249 because I remember it was priced high enough that I didn't even ask for it.
edit......thinking while I was typing. looked it up.
