Title: $250: too much or too little?
Post by: wandering on October 04, 2006, 06:46:09 PM
I think it's too much and some person who posted his opinion on his blog agrees with me. Discuss.

If the PS3 is too cheap the Wii is even more so.

$250 for that TINY thing? how could i ever have fun with something so SMALL, and to ask me to pay that much for someting so MINUSCULE is an insult to my intelligence.

i would only pay that price if it was the longer, black model. now thats something to hold in your hands. rumour has it the black wiimote can only be weilded with two hands, so the nunchaku is out of the question for it...

oh god i just had the most horrible image in my head.... i'll give you a hint, it involves one wiimote and two nunchaku attachments all positioned oddly. *waits for someone to figure it out an photoshop it*

Silly Nintendo. $250 for a NES with a stick that shoots lasers. What is this, Amiga? I could go buy a hoop and a stick for three bucks from the pond down town in the sky. What is this, Master System? What is this, Atari? What is this, Space War? What is this, Pez? What what what what what what what.

Is it the remote being a penis with the two nunchakus being balls?

Ok.  This thread is dumb.

But lets take a break for a second...and pretend this thread isn't dumb...which it clearly is.

Wii Sports contains: Boxing, Baseball, Bowling, Golf, and Tennis

If we concluded that each one of these games could be a virtual console download (a fair assessment) then they would be priced about $10.00 each.  

Perhaps Baseball would be less.  Still, that means Wii Sports is in fact worth $50.00

The point is if the game if fun and you enjoy it...and play it then it is worth it.

That being said...now $250 seems perfectly fine.  Specially when you consider a controller is $60.00 retail.  So now lets take $110.00 off that and you have a system for: $140.00  Sounds like a great deal to me.

Boy am I stupid for bringing this up...and this thread is stupid.

Hell.  I was having fun with the thread...not really being serious...or rather being serious in the FunHouse...to make it even more crazy in here.
