Re: Only launch color is white

And considering that games are slated to cost $50 each, you're basically getting the $200 console plus a game at $50.

I did the math and for the price of 1 PS3 base unit ($499.99) with *NO* games, you could buy:

- 1 Wii Console (includes Wiimote Controller, Nunchuck Controller, and 1 game)
- 1 extra Wiimote
- 1 extra Nunchuck
- 3 games
- 3 N64 Wii Shop games
- 1 SNES Wii Shop game

And you would still have two bucks and change left over.

If you don't care about "high end" features like HDTV or Blue Ray (and I daresay that the majority of people out there don't care about them), then the Wii seems to have the best bang for the buck.

(Of course, I'm not a gamer and don't have $500 to spend on a console system no matter who makes it. So none of the big 3 will really be able to entice me to buy no matter how good the system is. )

Agreed, I was hoping for $199 myself. But I'll probably get it anyway...
Plus, they're including a game! Who does THAT anymore?

It's more than I thought, to be honest. It's not worth $250. Had it been $200 or $175 I would definitely go for it.
