If no one else is going to say it i will. Is that Tom Cruise playing with dildos?



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

i bet they'll do the same thing in a bunch of different stores and then in a couple months, they'll do it again at 79.99.

well.... i dont know who in their rightful mind thought that it was going to be $50... at least I didnt, thats just crazy..... so yeah, 120 would be epic (not buying it myself) and at great price for competition



Like I said before. Making people think its a $150 was just so the final price seems like a bargain.

Mission accomplished.

I do not see how preventing early preorders with higher price can be a "smart marketing move".

Point 1 - Microsoft have said they will announce pricing in August at the German game conference

Point 2 - The oft quoted Microsoft shop states (it does now) that the price is a holding price.

I doubt Microsoft have finalised the price yet and suspect they advised a place holder price of $149. If I step into the rumour mill then I think that the rumour of $119 or there abouts is probably a good call. Certainly the UK retail market has sent strong signals to Redmond that for the UK market the price needs to be £99.99 which is doable at $119.

 

For some reason the HTC Desire just refuses to recognise the text box most annoying hence the late edit and the previously blank post...
