Extremely old news. I mean, this is so old it's probably in the fossil record somewhere. Everyone knows the Wii is going to launch for no more than $200 - the only speculation is whether it will actually launch for less than that, just to piss off MS and Sony... this'd set a bad precedent for the future though - they'd probably be expected to live up to that price point with their next next generation.

I don't like the Wii's name. Or its controller system (I think its not going to work as well as say, a mouse).

But if dose work then I'm wrong, and I'll buy it. By I've always said "NEver buy anything from nentendo. As soon as you get it home, they've already released something better".

Example: I come home with my DS and find out they are already releasing a DS Lite. WTF!?!?!?!?!?!

What's a DS Lite? Something like a GBA Micro?

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 25 May 2006, 17:43

Yeah. Its a smaller, better DS. And it was released, what, a month after the DS?

Yea, NO company has EEVVVEERR realsed sevral version of ANY system cept nintendo, SPECALY Sony and their playstation 2.

Just bad timing Zoombie. Don't blame the company for you being stupid. It's like me blaming the store cuz i bougth a PCI card for dubble the cost just because i knew nothing about PC slots.

Wii Commercial,

Wide Shot of a House Made entirely of gold.

1337 Gamz0r Dude Who Lives in a Gold House and has his own Gaming comic is seen playing PS3 and haveing an excellent time of it, being interviewed by an expensive gaming magazing about how rich he is and how awsome the PS3 is, and how the 360 is awsome but the PS3 is totally worth the extra $300 for the the HiDef graphics, and that you totally need the 15,000 dollar High Def, Widescreen Plasma TV to really experience...

pan too... the Sony Corporate meetings...

Executive: Well, we managed to sell one thousand systems which means, after expenses, we have have recouped our entire R&D budjet... with the left over profits we've bought a Nintendo Wii... anybody want to play Smash Bros.?

Cut to: the executive all in suits with their ties losened having a really good time playing wii... their boddies morph into the wii logo... "Wii Will Change Everything!"
