My mom bought one for the full $60 about year ago and it's been really nice. I use it all the time to make smoothies on milkshakes. Seems pretty durable.
I'm waiting. I've decided I'll just play Zelda: TP on my Gamecube since I can't find a Wii anyways. When they release a black color down the road, I'm going to buy it. Hopefully it's before Metroid Prime 3 is released...
