Wii to cost $249.99

sword sound effects coming from my CONTROLLER = AWESOME

I'd like it more if the sound came from, you know, the TV directly, and only.


The sound coming from the controller itself would make it sort of feel like one of those cheesy little kid swords that clink when you push a button.

250 is high, considering that the wii is like Gamecube 1.5 with a virtual controller.

Yes, that is all it is. Unfortunately the virtual controller takes too much horsepower so the graphics will be more like N64.5. And you can only play Gamecube games on it. And the virtual console is so virtual that it doesn't even really exist. They're just lying to make people buy it.

And they're calling it Wii so people will be like, "Oh, that has little i's in it like the iPod, I must buy!" and spend $250 on little brick with a wand. That doesn't even really play Gamecube games. I was just kidding earlier. It only has Pong.

$249.99 is high for a Gamecube 1.5 with online, diff controller, and a vitrual console.

I hope its $199.99

What if MS wants to take a hit on profits to piss off Ninty and drop the price of the basic 360 to $249.99?
