No, I'm looking at it from the perspective of how much do I have to pay for this thing that will last five years that is an upgrade on what I already have. You can put it in whatever "category" you want, it doesn't change the amount of money you have to pay at the register.Originally Posted by petewhitley
just to add to that thought. I may be paying more for other "home entertainment" items, but I'm not replacing them every five years with the exact same thing.
Your initial point was "$600 is nothing to a lot of people" or whatever it is that you said, and you argued that people making decent money wouldn't notice the difference. Well.. I make decent money and I would notice the difference... so I disagree. Hell, I would notice the difference just in explaining it to my fiance The semantics we can bat around in a circle all we want, but at the end of the day it's a lot of money for a video game machine.
but tecnically it's not being marketed as a video game machine especially because it has a blu-ray player as well and that right away markets it a different way,Originally Posted by Bronty-2
I mean I still think 600 dollars is expensive and it really shouldn't be that high but I still see them lowering the price over here as well.

This week, I was finally able to pre-order my Wii. I even threw in copies of Red Steel and Zelda for good measure. I can't wait! Roll on December the 8th!
The Wii also has the honour of becoming the first ever console that I've pre-ordered. I've even reserved a little space for it already, such is my excitement.
May I ask where you preordered it?Originally Posted by THATinkjar

Ugh, I don't buy into any of that. I guess I'm glad it's there for those who like it, but stuff such is this and the 360 face plates are the truly unnecessary costs of systems. As long as it's optional though I guess it has it's place.Originally Posted by business

I enjoy a few of the face plates for the 360. Sadly, the ones I like run in into the hundreds of dollars.Originally Posted by Garry Silljo
That being said, these Wii accessories are stretching the term "accessory" to a whole new level. I mean, Wii dog tags? What in the fucking hell?
a benefit to them remote gloves is that you can have a certain color for player2, etc.

Yeah, that is a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. Until Nintendo releases their multicolored Wiimotes, this is the only option.

I wonder if the wii will use the same av cable as the cube?

I certainly hope so. I got an S-Vid cable that works with my SNES, N64, and the Cube (all the same connection type). Would be nice to use the same cable for a sixth system. The free bump to S-Vid would be a definate perk. Maybe the component cable will be the same one as the cube had as well.
