    The real question is: does it blend?

  2. Why the 50$ price cut? on Wii Gets Price Cut To $199 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I guess Nintendo heard Apple talk about the magical 199$ price tag (warning: lots of photos). Look at around 1:51 PM ~ 1:52 PM:

    1:51 PM: Greg Kumparak âoeWe learned something very important a few years back.â
    1:51 PM: Greg Kumparak "Essentially, $199 is a magic spot."
    1:52 PM: Greg Kumparak "When they dropped from $249 to $199, sales of the past iPod models almost doubled."

    So if the same thing happens to Nintendo and the Wii, sales should double from now on until at least Christmas.

  3. Re:Despite the price drop on Wii Gets Price Cut To $199 · · Score: 1

    Depends on the players I guess.

    I buy Nintendo consoles ONLY for the Zelda and Metroid games. Anything else is just a bonus.

    And before you label me as a stupid Nintendo fanboy, I know people who have the Xbox and Xbox 360 just for the Halo series. PS3 owners? Only one in all the people I know, and that was partially because it's also a Blu-Ray player.

    Yeah but the people still need to install that plug-in. Also I haven't really looked into it but what do you mean by adding one tag?

    On a sidenote, this would be a perfect opportunity to spread malware. Just pretend you're one of those guys and hand over CDs with some crap that will infect the computer.
