Same here.
Problem is, often it's really hard to actually find quality products, as most customers aim for "as cheap as possible".
My calculation is quite simple:
I've bough about 250 eBooks from B&N for nook, about the same from Amazon for my Kindles. That's at least $ 2,000 from each. Same applies for PSP and other gadgets (yes, I've got the firmware hack. But still I buy my favorites).
So, what difference does it make to pay $ 100 more for your gadget, if you spend 10 times the amount for purchases afterwards anyway?
And as you, I prefer having fun with a gadget of $ 500, than being frustrated about a low quality product of $ 200.
So my system is: Some gadgets I postpone or leave out entirely. But the ones I get should be of acceptable quality, no compromises if possible.
