Why don't we just open a poll and ask people what /kind/ of potatoes they want? More productive than slapping that option on every console poll. We're infinitely more likely to have potato drops than we are console drops.
They can't drop a product like this, sony and microsoft barely make any money off of these consoles if any at all off of the retail price. giving a discount would just loose them money.
This. The only way a console can be sold for less than retail cost is if you buy it used. No retailer is going to sell new ones for a loss, that's for sure.
