Worth is *ENTIRELY* in the eyes of the beholder. For those that buy one (even on Ebay jacked up to $800+), if they have fun with it, and are satisfied, then hell yeah it's worth it. Of course, some could have one given to them and not have any fun, in which case it's obviously not worth it.

I'm personally on the fence, as there aren't many console games that interest me, and I prefer PC Rpgs and FPS. What does that have to do with anything? Well, not much, just saying that everyone is different.

For entertainment value, objectivity is impossible to generalize. There are virtually limitless variables, and most of them oblique and intangible.
