    Just playing what if with the fanboys...

    What if...

    The Wii price is: $600 bucks! (no wonder why it hasnt been revealed!)

    -suddenly!

    Nintendo Fanboys statements (after being resurrected via CPR):

    "The PS3 price is not that bad after all, it is a good price ."
    "$600, well a blu ray player costs $900"
    "Is not that a big difference I mean the 360 was $500 on release"
    "They are doing it to prevent shortages"
    "Is worth every penny I mean you can play 20 years of nintendo games on it"
    "The Wii controller alone is worth that price"
    "Uh.. got $400 to spare? do you know if they still buy human hair at the wig factory?"

    Just kidding guys ;) It probably will only cost $300.
