I hear that. Several articles said it'd be better to wait on both consoles, as the price is likely to drop next year, and inventory will be higher. Given how few games there are for the new consoles, it wasn't seen as a good time to buy, unless your old console died, and you were jonesing for a game console.
Hmm, maybe I should look at buying a couple new games, if the 360 titles are dropping in price. I hate paying $50 for a game.
The newer ones are still around the same - like Call of Duty Ghosts is still full price for 360 and PS3 (although there was a black friday sale) but just from my basic look around the store it looks like older titles are dropping.

I'm out and about right now, but just quickly: Helo plays 1 card, Cottle plays 2 cards. Leoben is next, then Baltar. I have COs for Hoshi and Cain.
BSG
Leoben plays 0 cards. Baltar is next.

Baltar is up.
In non-BSG news, I played Gone Home last night. Anyone else played it? It helps if you don't even think of it as a game but instead as a unique storytelling experience.
Wish there were iOS or 360 versions.

Tally: 16 - 6 = 10. Pass! The Admiral keeps his feet out of the fire. However, we do have some lovely parting gifts. The three Treachery cards add 2 raiders to Sector 1, 1 civilian ship to Sector 4 and 2 Treachery cards to the destiny deck. The raiders activate immediately.
Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cain's turn. Helo starts his turn on Pegasus. Thanks to his weakness, he draws 4 cards this turn. He has opted to forgo 1 Green. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Oh look at that Piloting spike! Right, so Helo's the Cylon, and he's going to Reveal right now because otherwise we are killing him so hard.
