It is as easy as they say. If anyone buys one, be sure to watch the DVD that comes with it. I had to watch mine twice to really take in everything, but it can do so many amazing things.
We picked ours up at WalMart for $199 on black Friday. Since then, I've seen them at JoAnn's for $239 and yesterday at Meijer for $299. Both are still good prices. Usually I avoid WM - I used to be a regular, but in the past few years, their quality has gone down the tubes, and the folks who work at our local store aren;t the best at customer service. However, Hubby was going anyway, and when my sister Nancy (who is an avid scrapbooker) said they had them super cheap, we had to jump at the chance. So far, DS has used it the most. Today he made special ribbons for an upcoming Pokemon tournament he will be participating in.

>>  << Check out Michaels Crafts, too, if your interested in one of these fabu machines. There are sometimes really good sales on them, plus the die cuts.
One of the Art Supply stores online may have them for a bit less -- Dick Blick or one of the others. I got one of the DVD's in an Art magazine..it was a very slick advertisement for the entire system. I wanted to run out & buy one, but a little something like Other Bills got in the way..jeesh..Tom said to just go ahead & get one, but he doesn't know what the thing is...He tried to be nice, really he did!

Well, for now I'll just have to live my Cricut life through Ann. I had no idea they cost that much even if they are worth it...makes that hubby of yours extra special Ann! I'm so glad you're having fun with it and making neat stuff!

More photos:
Did the "Charlie Brown" type zigzag on the Cricut
Made the letters that spell "thanks"
DS had a blast today making ribbons for his tournament. They probably won't get used (adults can be so closed minded sometimes!), but he had fun, it was about 1/2 hour he wasn't in front of the TV or using the computer or playing a video game, and they turned out pretty nice! He has successfully put them away (which means I won't find them EVER), so sorry no photos.
