Pale I'll bet you a bag of Cookies that it will release before November 19th. If it releases the 19th you win. Official release date only. If the stores slip them out before the 19th but the release date is the 19th or after you still get the cookies.

My money is on next tuesday.

Pale · « **Reply #27 on:** July 29, 2006, 11:48:24 AM »

Change of bet Ceric...

If it releases on the 19th, I get to make you an avatar that you have to use until the end of the year.

If it releases any day other than the 19th of November, you get to make me an avatar that I have to use until the end of the year. =P

/sigh. I still can't get over how many people discount the 19th solely because it's after the PS3 launch. I wish someone would take a bet from me.

I don't have a link(and I'm not going to look for one either) but I remember Nintendo saying that they will not release after PS3, and this was said last year when the PS3 was rumored to be released last march

So no Cookies?
That's fine with me but I like to lay some ground rules. Nothing that involves cursing, anything that could be consider obscene, and it must comply with the rules of this forum (100x100 < 20kb), in other words PG-13 or below. I'm game under those conditions.

Pale · « **Reply #31 on:** July 29, 2006, 02:30:55 PM »

Cause I would have broken the forum rules... =P I'm one of the biggest avatar hard asses of all the mods.

Ceric · « **Reply #32 on:** July 29, 2006, 02:39:37 PM »

Covering basis. Did you guys now aPNG is still not coming along. There is MNG but it's barely out. I'm stuck with using GIF if I want to do animations... Blah...

Requiem · « **Reply #33 on:** July 29, 2006, 02:51:56 PM »

Wait.....

What's the point of making an avatar to humiliate somebody if it has to be PG-13? I understand if you don't want a picture of you with a penis for a nose, but not obscenities at all?

Pale · « **Reply #34 on:** July 29, 2006, 02:58:34 PM »

There are ways to publicly humiliate people without being dirty.

Also, I'm open to any other bets someone might want to make.

Requiem · « **Reply #35 on:** July 29, 2006, 03:02:43 PM »

Do you know something we don't?

Pale · « **Reply #36 on:** July 29, 2006, 03:41:07 PM »

No I really don't... I don't want to start a rumor. I'm just saying that both Gamecube and DS launched the Sunday before black Friday. Nintendo definately won't miss black friday sales yet they will want as much time as possible to get as many units ready for launch as possible.

It just makes sense to me.

Wow Pale.. I'm sorry but you ARE going to lose that bet..

Caliban · « **Reply #38 on:** July 29, 2006, 05:51:04 PM »

Oh look the Wii was launched just now...everybody missed it...now we have to wait for the next batch...awwwwwwwwwww.

After all, there's nothing dirty about loving chicken...

I want to be one of those subordinates with the really funny looking helmets and regular military attire that nothing ever happens to until the whole place blows up.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #41 on:** July 30, 2006, 12:40:38 PM »

Hey Pale, if you're up to it I'll bet you a brand-new DS game of your choice that it will launch earlier than November 19th. I'm thinking a late October release date, and then Super Mario Galaxy launching on November 19th.

Pale · « **Reply #42 on:** July 30, 2006, 12:41:31 PM »

Hmm, that's a tougher bet... I'll have to think about it.

IceCold · « **Reply #43 on:** July 30, 2006, 12:53:45 PM »

Another one.. since Ceric will get to change your avatar, I want to be able to change your title when you lose to us. I'm telling you again, it won't launch on November 19th..

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #44 on:** July 30, 2006, 02:28:08 PM »

Just say the word man! I'm ready! ;-D

Pale · « **Reply #45 on:** July 30, 2006, 06:17:10 PM »

I'll take yours Ice. Still debating if I want to get actual money involved... =P

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #46 on:** July 30, 2006, 07:23:30 PM »

If the Wii launches Nov. 19th then Nintendo's runaway spree of "things done right" just came to a screeching halt.

Dead System.

Mario · « **Reply #48 on:** July 30, 2006, 08:50:19 PM »

I'll bet someone three GC games that it'll be released in 2006.

It'll still do alright, it's just that every additional day that the Wii spends out before the PS3 is one more day for hype to build and for the news of its greatness to reach would be PS3 buyers who aren't in the loop about the Wii.

The Wii will no doubt be a very word of mouth driven system, just like the DS is now. Launching that close to the PS3 hurts its chances of smothering PS3 sales by not letting the word of mouth have enough time to spread.
