First the Wii only costs $210 bucks. The WiiSports actually jacks the price up.

Flash memory in the console also jacks the price up.

The reason the DVD didn't come with it was because the DVD license fee, additional equip, and DVD software player would push the costs to around $280-299 bucks. Nintendo didn't want to get into Xbox 360 land so they held off. They are adding it now because the orig consoles overhead costs are dropping.
It'll probably just ...

"when 200 gig comes out and dev get the power of ps3 unlocked
games will run as good as the matrix"??

Do you realize how much a 200GB BD disc would cost?
Approx $50-75 bucks. (thats just the disc without any data on it)
HVD is est. at $100-120 bucks a pop and thats for a 300GB disc.

A 200GB game would probably cost $100 bucks a pop easy.
If you want to pay basically $100 bucks a game go ahead.
You sure aren't going to bu...

I'm still longing for a USB HDD.
I think we need it with all the VC games and channels coming down in the next 12 months.

Yeah your right the gametrailer review is whole lot better this one.

I didn't think it would be as bad as MP7.

It's next HD next gen format.

This is why I didn't care so much for Blu-Ray or HD-DVD because with-in about 5 yrs something better will come out and once it hits the masses the prices will drop big time.

HVD has been talked about for last couple of yrs.

Why the hell do you need voice chat anyways?

So you can yell at who ever you play? I mean really.

I'm hoping for a bluetooth keyboard soon..so you can just type whatever.
A lot less intrusive then someone saying...F this mother F that.

1 million down 99 million to go.

I believe the iPod is over the 100 million mark already.

Can't be too overpriced to sell at Wally World.

Hmm..out of ideas maybe?

Mario Party 7 was also lackluster.

Might rent this one though.

How much money is being spent on MGS4?
I have a feeling it's more then the avg. 10-15 million spent on most PS3/360 games.
If so I could see why they would want to tap into the approx 10 million 360 fanbase.

I have a feeling the Wii will update slightly every 1-2 yrs.
This yr they get DVD enabled players...next yr maybe an upgraded GPU for HDTV's.

The Great 1 has been reported. These frivolous fanboy attacks need to stop.

I'm sorry, fans have been swinging around lightsabers for the last 30 yrs.

Without nerds I doubt you would have a console to even play on.

FP lightsaber action?

I hope we get force powers with certain gestures.

Probable button mapping: (IMO)
'A' button for opening and closing your lightsaber.
'B' trigger for blaster or grenade release.
'D Pad' for inventory control and weapons selection.
'Analog stick' on nunchuck for moving.
'C' and 'Z' pre-mapped force powers maybe or healing force powers or charging force powers?

Nah it's the price of WiiSports.
It sales for about $46 bucks in Japan.
The Wii only costs around $210 in Japan.

I believe the new black Wii(DVD enabled) coming out this Fall will replace the current Wii at the current $250 price point.

Well like my friends we just DL'ed a pirated copy of Spidey 3 on the PC and then streamed it to our Wii to watch in the livingroom.

Glad I did...it saved me $8.

I'll end up buying both S3 and Pirates on DVD later this yr.

Read what you write, please.

The DS was a big deviation from normal gaming. Most thought it would never take off and would get ruled by the PSP, but now it's sold 44 million...and the PSP is over 20 million behind.

Where I use to work we had a Xbox and GC and about 5 arcades machines(free play).
