Nintendo announces price of Wii will not exceed $250

EyeballGrowth · 05.26.2006, 10:31 PM

Fucking awesome. It's gonna be better than the other two and cost less than half the price of each one.

fishmonkey · 05.27.2006, 04:41 AM

yeah its good alright, only thing is will they still be saying that weeks before it comes out? thay have a sneeky way of hiking up the price when your not looking.

You might want to do your math again. The XBOX 360 costs $300-$400

Anyway...I think we already knew that price, unless it was just a rumor. In which case it is just being confirmed.

SolidZach · 05.27.2006, 06:00 PM

yeah they changed that

EyeballGrowth · 05.27.2006, 10:56 PM

the X-box 360 costs $400? I did not know that. I know the PS3 costs $600

HaydenAsche · 05.27.2006, 11:00 PM

I love Nintendo but videogames in general have sucked lately. I probably won't be buying one for a few years.

EyeballGrowth · 05.27.2006, 11:04 PM

The Wii is gonna have some awesome fucking titles, and I'm not sure but I believe I read an article that said they are refusing to take part in any movie licenced games.

this movie may change your mind

HaydenAsche · 05.27.2006, 11:05 PM

Nah, it looks like a sweet system and all but I can't spare 200 dollars on a videogame counsel(sp?). I'd get one if I could.

umjammer atomsk · 05.27.2006, 11:53 PM

Console. I highly doubt that nintendo would turn down a cheap way to make some money by not having movie-based games on their system but that would be cool as hell and definetly earn their humble little company some cred. Whatever that means.

Neongod · 05.28.2006, 12:35 AM

I think I'll continue to stay with PC gaming.

Nintendo is god. forever.

There are two versions. A $300 dollar one that has no hard drive and comes with wired controllers. The $400 dollar one comes with a 20 gig hard drive and wireless controllers. I think there are other upgrades too, but I don't know what they are.

My dad is big on videogames. He has already called stores trying to preorder 2 PS3's. One for him and one for eBay. He did the same with the Xbox 360. He sold his extra for some $700 bucks, it practically paid for his first one.

yea, i've always been a nintendo fan. this nintendo wii system is clearly one of the best things they've done in a long fucking time, if not ever. i'll get it by christmas or something, i'm sure.

umjammer atomsk · 05.28.2006, 12:50 PM

I know, I'm actually excited about. The controller and everything about it just looks incredible.

noisemachine · 05.28.2006, 02:55 PM

I haven't gotten a new gaming console since the original playstation and the only other one ive ever had was SuperNES. Ever since then I haven't really been into games. Im a sucker for Mario games, though, and that one looks pretty cool. If I have an extra $250 laying around for some reason when it comes out, I may just pick one up.

So when is this supposed to come out?
