Yeah. I think that the 20GB model (no wifi) was $499, and the 60GB model was $599 (had wifi). At the time, I think the "premium" model of the Xbox 360 was $349, or something like that.
I was stoked to get a PS3, then I saw the retail prices and proceeded to cut loose a chain of profanity that I'm ashamed of at this point in time. But, I lucked out into getting a 60GB model a few months after launch off Craigslist for $180 and the guy still had the receipt.
Still works to this day.
