Quote from link above...
"Retailers have already been given feedback that we are not big fans of that(Bundles). We think it masks some of the price advantage we have versus our competition and, frankly, the consumer should decide what they want," Fils-Aime said.
Wow, I'm suprised that a company is saying that... and a relief. I despise bundles. You shouldn't have to pay full price for some extra stuff you don't want just to get the system. I really hope this statement is followed.
I also read in an article that nintendo is maxing out in production, but are really concerned about expansion. They are worried by the time they put all this money into a new plant, this demand of the wii will be gone. They seemed to have learned from the n64 and gamecube days...AVR: H/K AVR240

Gamestop is giving rainchecks. This should slow down some of the
CL guys. Son #2 is pulling a double shift at Gamestop today. I guess

I have yet to walk into a joint and not find the Wii for sale, so the shortage is lost on me.
That being said... the demographic is far beyond that of Microsoft or Sony. Nintendo really hit it out of the park on this one. I mean, my Nana has as much fun with it as I do. And my parents are positively addicted. I NEVER thought I would decline an invitation to play video games, but every single night?!? Crack, people. Pure, unadulterated crack.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -

Where the heck do you live? I've never seen one in store. Ever. And for a period of time I was actively searching. I gave up after a week.
I don't mind though, don't really need to be spending the money on myself anyways

Oodles and oodles in the Ohio Valley. Blessed baby Jeebus... if I thought I could be making $250 a pop profit off these suckers, I'd be loading up the Ol' White Van. Anyway, I'm lurking around Hotlanta nowadays, so maybe things are a bit different.I never had it like this where I grew up.

Right before Thanksgiving, Wiis were going for under $300 on craigslist. Demand went up during the holidays and it's a combinations of parents willing to do anything to spoil their child and greedy people who are stocking up on Wiis they don't need to gauge buyers.Receiver - Onkyo HT-R340

Hah. Check the local craigslist. There are tons of Wiis on sale right now and most ebay price has fallen to the low $300s. I can't wait for these horrible greedy people to get stuck with a closet full of Wiis they can't offload.Receiver - Onkyo HT-R340

I decided to peruse the local craiglist just out of curiousity and ran across this ad.
Don't really know if it's true or not, but it got a little chuckle out of me.I know just enough to be dangerous, but don't tell my wife, she thinks I'm a genius.
