Maybe it's just a white "shell" then you can pop it off and replace it with any colors you want....more wishful thinking, I know.

Now, if it's true that the Europe date is in March, why wouldn't someone over there just order one from the states??

I'm sure you can try donating "something" else....I've heard you get about $50-$100 each time.

I was thinking the same thing....what time is that Europe event anyway? Funny how it was held a day after the other events, enough time for Reggie and Iwata to get over there and drop some more info maybe??

Cite your source.  Everything I've seen states that the Opera Browser is not free, period.  Was there news that I missed somewhere?


I did remember seeing this before, so I went and did the research for ya!

Users can also download an Internet-browsing software for free until June, said Iwata.

I'll do an online pre-order here. My Cube showed up on the Friday before GCN's launch.


So you think if I preorder it I might actually get it before?? Who do you order through??

Curious what people will be doing now.

I'm in a toss up, due to a vacation starting on the 19th. Not sure if I should find a midnight sale, or preorder so it's waiting for me when I get home....waiting is NOT an option for me.

I thinking about dropping around $450-$500. So I guess it'll be..
Wii:$250
1 Wiimote and nunchuck: $60
Rayman: $50
Elebits: $50
TP: $50

With tax that's $499....not too shabby actually. I might end up only getting two games, we'll see how the cash flow is

yup, that's what happens to the older stuff. That's why as the system gets older there are more and more value packs, the real markups come from the accessories, games not too much. I rememebr the accessories having like a 30-80% markup, usually the aftermarket brands were always the biggest money maker, which is why you'll see them throw in a console with two madcatz (or whoever) controllers, an aftermarket memory card, and a greatest hits game. They suck up the loss off the console by forcing you to buy the accessories.

When I use to sell video game console and home audio/video equipment, consoles only had about a 2-7% markup.

That release date sucks so BAD...well for me at least. I'm actually going on a family vacation from Sunday the 19th to Wednesday the 22nd, then it's fricking thanksgiving....man oh man.

What should I do, stay up and find a midnight sale before I go on vacation, or just order one and have it waiting for me when I get back? There's no way in hell I'm going out shopping on black friday or that weekend, I'll be home playing my Wii!

I'm calling HUGE BS!!!! Look at the thread in the Wii thread as to why. I do bring up some valid points.

When does something retail for $250?? More like $249.99.
The information for the seatle paper is from a NYtimes reporter.
The NY Times doesn't even have the information up yet.

It's GWN all over again!!!

Also, I find it funny that this information is not on the NY Times webpage. Yet the reporter from the NY times has an article in the the Seatle newspaper website....BS I tell ya, BS!!!!!

Some guy e-mailed the Seatle paper claiming to be Seth whatever his last name is, and the Seatle paper took the bait. It was probably someone from GWN...haha

I'm calling Bravo Siera on this. Since when has anything retailed for $250, or $50. If it were an actual Nintendo press release it would say $249.99 and $49.99.

Me thinks, Nintendo is setting us up for a surprise.

Also, the Seatle news is from the reporter of the NY Times. I think it's just the NY Times, trying to jump ahead and say they're first. This was probably "news" read "information" that they got awhile ago

Well GWN is now trying to cover their butts

"It appears the majority of the Internet got the time wrong for this press conference. Some are now reporting it will start at 2PM. If and when it does start then, we'll have live blog coverage here"

hahahaha

Yeah I read somewhere (I've been looking at 5 different sites so I don't remember which one) that it said 9:30 PST, that's 12:30 to those on the east coast that can't count to three
