About Me
"Much like Goro, CWal37 loves Baconator Pizza Sandwiches. In fact, he once impaled multiple patrons at a grocery store in a mad dash to the frozen aisle upon hearing that pizzas were on sale. He's no longer welcome at several local grocery stores based solely on his notoriety." -Nilcam

Wii Price Cut Official {Shortblog}
CWal37 | 9:04 PM on 09.23.2009 7 comments




It finally happened, and right during Sony's conference too. Those mad men money making wizards over at the big N are going to continue to maintain their stranglehold on the #1 position no doubt.

The price cut goes live on September 27th in the US.

Press release in japanese I think.

Makes me wish I had waited, sort of. Had I been able to predict that my Wii would be passed over most of the time once I got a PS3 and built a new computer it would have been a no-brainer. Oh well, shit happens.

The word straight from the horse's mouth.

"Beginning Sunday, Sept. 27, the world’s most popular home video game system gets even more appealing. On that day, Nintendo’s suggested retail price for its record-setting Wii drops by $50 to $199.99. The new $199.99 Wii price point delivers the full iconic Wii gaming experience, including the motion-sensing Wii Remote controller, Nunchuk controller and Wii Sports software, and furthers Nintendo’s mission to expand the gaming universe by making video games accessible to more and more consumers."

You sir, obviously didn't dedicate half your summer to playing Bit Trip Beat and Core like it was cheap crack.

I spent half my summer doing manual labor and praying that our internet would let me check my email. Downloading a new game was generally out of my grasp.

Got my Wii on launch, but this is pretty tubular.

Oddly enough, that's how I spent the other half of mine. Took me two hours to download that game on my parent's internet connection.

FINALLY! Actually, I don't really give a shit, I got my Wii at launch too.

But this will probably let Nintendo sell a shit load of Wiis for Xmas.

Let's not forget they confirmed it DURING Sony's abysmal press conference. That's first class one-upsmanship there.
