Ya know, how low does it have to go before its finally added to your collection?
Mine would have to be between 30.00-50.00. I give it less than a year before this price is reached too.

$50 sounds about right. Oh, and I think this has been covered already as well. Your probably getting locked again. :P

I'm sorry, I must've missed something. Archika, I thought you got yours free for being a game-place manager. Wrong?
I'll prolly buy one when they hit $50 or so too.

100. Be realistic, this system is worth 100.

I wouldn't bother getting one unless they have some decent board/card games for it, I get a good amount of use out of my $10 Game.com and Monopoly.

Nope, technically my mom paid for it as a Christmas gift (well, I guess, paid me back after I picked it up for her). My manager got one from conference, but you'd have to pry it out of his cold, dead hand

My manager traded one to me for a $60 SMS package and gave me $20 as well "To cover costs" as he put it. I immediatly traded it for MVS games w/ shock boxes. Heh, it lasted less time in my house than the virtual boy I picked up.

$70, maybe? But it would have to have some good games, which I don't think it has yet. Question about the MP3 player: How much does it hold?
GameGuru

$99. I wouldn't see it ever going lower since it is a cell phone, game system and MP3 player. $99 is probably the perfect price.

I simply don't want one. I'm not a video game completist (as a matter of fact, I'm more of a minimalist). I have a GBA, I have an MP3 player, I have a cell phone. I wouldn't use the N-Gage for anything really, as in my eyes in does all of the above things worse than what I've got.

I will not buy one new unless it goes down to fifty
In a year or so, I hope to maybe find it for about 30 used, but that is wishful thinking :)

I. like Achika's Manager, got one for the right price ...free. I was interested in one before I got it, but only for collectors sake. I would have paid maybe $50-75 for on of these.
I like my N*Gage so much, I boxed it up after a couple of weeks, and stuck it in the closet.

Call me old..
but I'm really against the integration of devices as we see it..
N-gage: Cell phones + PDA's + video games
PSX: Tivo + DVD-R + PS2
What would they think of next??
Every time you integrate something, you always loose something. Cell phone looses simplicity and durability, PSX looses ability to record TV and play at the same time. And if it is there, it looses portability (ability to play games at friends house while it records off satellite something else back at home!)
When would companies learn that some things should never be "combined"..

I normally agree with this, but not when it comes to portable devices. I my house, it's no problem. On my person...even wearing cargo pants, i only have just so many pockets, man.

Before I bought an N-Gage, it would need at least one game I'd be genuinely interested in playing; something like Cartel Wars (http://www.gameloft.com/us/product_page.php?item=429), I'm thinking. Or perhaps a remake of Pengo. Even in that case, I wouldn't pay more than, say, $70 for it.

100 bucks new with one game, and the game would have to be playable, like a puzzle game or something. (I love the N-Gage game cases! Brilliant, best thing going for the system. Definitely want to see the PSP or next GB to follow suit...just had to get that out)

That's on a PHONE? That looks AMAZING.

Realistically? $25, and $5 per game.
Until then, I've got my GBA and NGPC to keep me more than occupied.

Yeah, regardless of the phone and MP3 player...its still a video game system overall. And its the next-gen equivalent of the Game.Com. Tries to provide a lot more than just games on a system meant for games, and fails miserably at the quality of the games. I expect to see entire sets with all games released (maybe 20-25 or so) being sold on ebay in about 5-7 years at about 50.00 a set.
Has there even been anymore games released since the first batch? I don't see any magazines covering anything! Dont know if thats hilariously funny or horribly sad.
