You talk like this is a bad thing..
It's not because it can only sell more to niche groups now.
Apple TV is selling to niche groups now because it's extremely hackable.
I talked about this in Jan.
I believe Nintendo will bring in the new DVD/Wii/color for $250 and reduce the price of the older white Wii to $200 price range.
If it's black then I'm buying.
I have two friends waiting on the black Wii.
You can do the same thing by screwing your credit check.
Just type in 9's for your SSN which kills the credit check then pick the pay as you go plan.
Once activated, cancel your account. It's free, if you do it right after activating.
Now you have a functional iPhone without the phone part. And yes, the wifi does work along with the iPod.
Unless Apple has fixed the credit check loop hole this should still work for everyone.
11-12 shipped to retail.
currently vc shows the 360 at 10.13m and the Wii at 8.85m.
The Wii should hit 9m next week.
Well I was suspect when it was only CC showing the price cut.
If it was a real price cut we would've heard news from EB/GS, Wal-Mart, and Target.
I like most SNK games. This one looks good.
Never been a Donkey Konga fan.
It's ok, not my cup of joe.
I think many games like Zelda were orig. made for the GC but got ported to the Wii when the Wii popped up last winter. I bet we'll see GC ports until winter 07'.
The only things I watch on G4TV is Xplay/Attack of the Show/STNG and Ninja Warrior.
That channel went down hill since G4 took over techtv(formally zdtv).
I really miss Call for Help and Screen Savers.
What time period does this cover?
Because the Vcharts show the 360 just under 3k and the PS3 under 10k. (covers last week of June)
The last time I saw the PS3 hit over 10k was when Sigma got released in mid-June.
1 billion is not much when you consider the company is worth over 44 billion..and thats with old bill giving money away to charities.
Good for folks holding out for a cheaper PS3.
Bad for Sony since all their cost savings will be ate up in that $100 price drop.
Me: Waiting first for Rumble and a $399 price tag.
With the recent news the $390 Elite going to Japan I wonder, if that means the US will get a cheaper Elite as well..
Rapla Fishing sucks on every console.
The only thing that worked was the boat navigation.

These prices are only effective between these dates according to the Ad:
7-15-07 to 7-21-07.
Meaning it's only a weekly Ad to pull in customers. It's what we call pulls.
Most stores don't say Price Break or Price Cut unless it's for a 1 week sale for their Sunday circular.
Looks like a CC employee snatched the Sunday's Ad that comes out on Wed/Thur. (so employees can set Ad before Sunday)
If you don't see MSRP then it's not a real price drop just a promo.
2 player co-op, hell's yeah!
Remember the old GB camera and printer.
It's cool to make gifs with that still!
What's a real rip off is Adobe CS3. Every time they update the price goes up 100-200 bucks!
The Suites cost around a grand now...no wonder it gets DLed so much now.
Adobe sell PS CS3 $200 bucks please and I might buy it!
Still using CS2 because CS3 costs too much!
No it's called making a profit.
Profit margin is something that Apple and Nintendo tend to really understand.
People also need to realized the $260 bucks doesn't cover the R&D on the phone/software development/marketing/building /packaging/shipping/and tech support for that phone.
Should def. get a M rating.
Looks like a buy to me.
I'm hoping for a HDD at E3.
I'm guessing the colors will match the current DSL's.
So probably black and pink and maybe rumored blue Wii's
Black and Pink DSL's fly off the shelves.
