Fun: What could you get for the Price of the Wii
« on: September 28, 2006, 10:18:00 AM »
I was reading the news today and kept noticing this same price pop up: $249.99
I thought it was ironic considering what it referred to:

30GB Zune................................$249.99
30GB iPod ................................$249.99
Fossil Watch that hooks
to you phone vie Bluetooth
to state who is calling you,
can vibrate, and act as a
medium between your
phone and headset.................$249.99

Now when you go to buy your Wii think of the other single item you could be getting.  (Come on wouldn't you want a Brown Zune instead of a White Wii?  ;P )
I know invite all of you to grow this list.  I'm trying to avoid bundles.  Single items would be best.

For $249.99 using Opportunity Cost I could spend 25 hours playing the Game Systems I have (Using the rate from my highest paying job.)

I could make my own video game system for $250. And my system will come with booze and blackjack. And hookers! In fact, forget the video game system!

I heart Bender.

Interestingly enough, I did a search on google.co.uk, hoping to find some funny alternative to the Wii:

179 price OR pounds OR £ OR checkout OR basket

I was pretty surprised when the vast majority of the hits (including all the hits on the first couple of pages where 179 was actually a price) actually turned out to refer to the Wii. The internet is rife with people talking about the Wii - I can't get away from it!

Anyway, on topic: you could buy a few grams of smack...

I would probably blow the money on the whole South Park DVD collection, seasons 1-8 or that cool Futurama DVD cube with every episode and all the extras.

...after which you'd have just enough money left over for fixings to cook and eat that child.

If cannibalism is wrong, I don't want to be right.

It'd be 16 months of WoW...no, I don't want that.
