EB/Gamestop Offering $700 Wii Bundle
GameSpot is reporting that GameStop will be offering a mind-boggling $700 Wii bundle online, as of tomorrow. Considering the retail price of the Wii is $250, there had better be some solid gold Wiimotes in there to go with your little white box. From the article: "Given the GameStop Wii bundle's steep price, one would wonder what assortment of add-ons and games are worth around an extra $449. Apparently, the customer-service reps at GameStop are also wondering. 'We don't know what the bundle contains,' a rep told GameSpot. 'We also don't know when they go on sale. We won't know until Thursday.'"
I fail to understand the point of tags completly. I've read the FAQ about a dozen times now, what is the point? I don't see any reason to have these one-word phrases (of which are rarely one word) "that you think best describe this article." Is their any practical reason beyond informing lazy editors with the tag "dupe"?
And when the example tags already have words directly from the headline...? Check any one of the articles for example tags and I can guarantee you they've got half the title in them. Why have tags at all? is itsatrap, funny, unfunny (which should apparently be !funny according to the seemingly arbitrary rules of the FAQ) or yes and no helping anyone? Are any of them really helpful to the editors? All they've become is annoying mini-comments. Is that really what they should "build the next generation of moderation on top of"?
