 Got to love the greed of stores like this one that has pulled all their wii's from the shelves and just sells them online at a buy it now price of $399.99.  Apparently they caught the greed bug as well, but at least that should prevent resellers from buying these overpriced systems.

But they are probably bundled with a game or controller I would assume for that price.  This place is just selling the console only at $399.99.

Those people that think they're perfect give a bad reputation to us who are... 

"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." - Phil Harrison, Sony

I can see some asses kicked and names taken in the future.



I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

They won`t see new Wii shipments. Slackers suit them perfectly.
