Wilhelm 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yeah, managed to get one this morning after pestering my manager about the Pre-sells that two people neglected to get. I walked in today, bought it walked out with a grin on my face. Dropped 270.14 US on the nifty console, I'll post a pic of me holding it later after work tonight.

evo_Sieg 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Maybe Wilhelm bought it from an Orb-alligned nation. You should know Rad, hehe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 $$$ > Video Games lol, but seriously, how much is it supposed to be at regular price? $300 US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liubei013 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 $249.99 Don't have any interest with any of these new consoles at the moment. I'm fine with my PS2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 So the $270.14 is the pre-order price? Not too much of a difference, I guess. Still, I'd rather have the cash, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liubei013 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Lol...270.14 is the price of the Wii PLUS taxes...I'm surprised you missed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I don't keep tabs on other countries' tax laws. Over here in the Philippines, taxes on merchandise and other consumer goods are generally already part of the listed price - you don't have to estimate how much more you have to pay, and thus don't need to bring extra cash 'just in case'. On a lighter note, I'm switching the thread title. Sorry Wilhelm, but I can't resist being funny about the Wii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilhelm 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) Graphics are so-so, its more like a touched up game cube with HD capability. Only thing cool about it is the remote and how its motion guided. Funny thing is twilight princess came out for Wii, before the GC version. Nintendo gives no love to their GC =( I'm going to buy a 360 after X-mas, and perhaps try to get Gears of War, and save up for Halo 3. Playstation 3, I wont get it for at least the middle of 2007, when all the bugs get worked out of it. Right now, I've been getting complaints from customers, about console overheating, fan noise, frame-rate issues. Sony really screwed up their launch in the US. Retailers are only getting half of waht they were promised. My store, had to refund half our pre-sells due to Sony's mishaps. But which brings me to another thing, next year, Playstation 3 + Gundam Crossfire would make me extremely happy. Come on the first gundam game where the beam saber/heat hawk cuts mobile suits apart like paper. Edited November 23, 2006 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
