At the Nintendo E3 2007 press conference Nintendo announced that the new Zapper will be included with all wiis for this year and will be sold for only $199.00 :) Thats $51 off the current retail price + you get a $30 piece of plastic! So I suggest holding off on buying a $350 wii and wait for nintendo to release more.

They are not producing more because they want their sale numbers to be larger in the next quarter or something silly like that. Nintendo knows that the wii is selling fast, 6:1 to the PS3, and they aren't stupid. They will produce more but you just gotta wait a while :)

I actually find it rather funny. I was at target a few months ago and they had no wiis, but had like 15 PS3s Its funny, because no one really expected the wii to be such a hit! Sony responded by releasing a new GB version and dropping the old by $100. Still not going to get a lot of sales. If the PS3 drops enough, I might get one for folding :)

EDIT: Just noticed you got one. Oh well :)

Yea, I could wait, but I didn't want to wait, because by the time that happens I will have practically no time for games.

And yea, Click the image to open in full size. @ Sony.
But, I have to admit, the PS3 is one incredible piece of machinery. Too bad the Wii and the Xbox aren't up to the PS3's tech specs... although then they'd all be losing money like that. And cost $600 each. lol





And yea, I got brain academy and Twilight princess.

DaMn twilight princess is nice. 6 hours of game so far, and I've only been home 10 hours since I got it.

Same here. I can't wait to grab mine.

I'm glad you're enjoying the Wii man, Zelda TP is an awesome game, and Brain Academy is cool too, they did an awesome job with it!



Which DDR3 set-up should I use in my new build? HELP!

I'm kinda bummed right now. I'm in Santa Cruz at orientation and I can't play my wii Until Wednesday. :(

Lol.

But I did some research, cuz I'm trying to use my monitor to play wii, but I need either a built-in plug or vivo, and I have neither. And I don't want to use my tv tuner cuz it isn't as clear as it should be (free from newegg) and it probably has a delay.
But I do definitely need a new monitor (no way in hell my 60 lb beast of a monitor will fit in my dorm) so I might be lookin for a one of those in a few months.

Maybe I'll wait till one of us HL'ers gets one workin :P


Ps: anyone here go to UC Santa cruz?



[edit]sorry for the bad timing and my repeating on my reply, I'm on my phone and it's having a wii bit of problems with the site, but I think I fixed it.


Yea, Santa Cruz California

Lol. I just read through my posts and noticed some terrible typos. Haha.
'course the 2 letter qwerty keyboard and suretype combo is still amazing at knowing what I'm typing. I'd estimate a good 25-35 wpm on my phone. (long as I have only words that are in the dictionary and few symbols.)



Anyway. Woot!!!! I'm omw home and less than 30 minutes away!
It only took us 4.3 hours to go to within about 30 minutes of home. So we made good time as long as traffic keeps being sexy.(avg 75 the whole way)
Woo! See you soon wii!



Are any of you guys online with your wiis? What are your numbers?
