TarHeel324 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 500 bucks for the 20 gig? f*** thats outrageous though i know ill prob break down and buy the 20 gig, i wont even consider getting the 60 for $100 more BTW...to buy the 20 gig youd have to start putting away 5 dollars a day starting today to get up to the MSRP (plus 7% sales tax) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxx Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Ouch. Games will probably cost 65-70 bucks... I think I'll be getting me my Wii..When does it come out? Nintendo's press conference starts in a little while at e3. They'll probably discuss it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWhite Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I think I'll be getting me my Wii..When does it come out? I'll be picking one up myself as well. Nintendo is still sketchy on the release date and price, but look for it in Q4 of this year, and probably less than $250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I read $249 for the Wii but forgot where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWhite Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Supposedly Electronic Gaming Monthly is going to confirm the $249 rumor, but that in itself is a rumor. Nintendo is not going to be successful if they go too far above that price, so I think that's about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishfan79 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 the nintendo one often has such worse games is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFan24 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 the nintendo one often has such worse games is the problem. What was that?? :blink: Don't take it the wrong way, I just have no idea what you just said. Sorry.. And I think Nintendo held back the price of the Wii after seeing the reaction everybody was to the price of the PS3. Its going to be $200 or less more than likely and expect it to be out in October so that it atleast has a month head start on the PS3. Confirmed launch titles include: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii version) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Duck Hunt 2 Madden 2007 Red Steel Tony Hawk Downhill Jam Dragon Quest Swords The Mask Queen and the Tower of Mirrors Nintendo Sports (Baseball, Golf and Tennis) Almost every Nintendo published NES, SNES, N64 and GameCube games, as well as Sega Classics (Genesis for sure and I'm not sure about the Master System), and Turbo Grafix 16 games And those are just the games we know of.

bobbob1313 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 This could convince me to buy a Wii. Especially if they do get Sonic on there. That'd clinch it. Online I can call it the Wii, but in person, I have to say Revolution. Wii sounds too dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online I can call it the Wii, but in person, I have to say Revolution. Wii sounds too dumb. When I went to Gamestop the other day, the guy had asked me if I wanted to reserve anything right away. I told him no but what was waiting to see how the Revolution would turn out. Surprisenly he had came back and said its no longer called Revolution, but called Wii. I think after that and talking with the guy for a minute or two, I've gotten over my hesitation to call it Wii out on the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it just sounds so goofy, especially if you are talking to somebody who hasn't heard of the name change. Either way, this news, plus Mario Galaxies makes it look like my dorm will be decked out with a Wii on the hi-def. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabdul Doobakus Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I don't understand any of this stuff, but everywhere I look people are going nuts over this Wii thing. I really don't get the concept behind the controller at all, but nonetheless it sounds cool. I am a Nintendo loyalist, so if I do get something it will be the Wii. On the other hand, I haven't played a video game in about a year, and I'm not sure now is the best time to pick up the habit again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'll buy one. *shrugs* I spend about that much on Bengals tickets. Not a thing. Me too. I have had both PS2 and XBox for years. While $599 is expensive, it is worthwhile. It's not just 600 bucks. The games are going to be through the roof as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accord Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 $500 for the bottom end model, are they out of their f***ing minds? Games will probably be $50 or $60, you buy 4 or 5 games plus the system and you're already at almost-$800+ And they'll probably sell on eBay for a huge premium also for the first few months, absurd.
