Forums - Gaming Discussion - Today's Apple iPhone event is important for gaming, and more bad news for Nintendo

Just went onto AT&T website and signed up for a new contract to get a $199.99 iPhone 5s (Which will be replaceable with 6 in a few days).

Signed up to a $80/month plan ($39.99 base plan) with unlimited text and 2GB data added afterwards. Phone is eligible for $199.99 price.

Go ahead and try yourself.

 

Edit - Just swapped with Galaxy S5. Still got the $199.99 price for the phone.

Edit #2 - Just signed up with Galaxy S5 & iPhone 5s, cost of both phones is $399.98 (Like I said) w/ unlimited text and 2GB data. Data is for fiance since I do WiFi @work and @ home. Plan is $120/month for 2 phones.

If I bump to 4GB it is $150/month for 2x phones (Which I have now) AND since I also know how to get a 15% discount thanks to an American Consumer Panel thing we are setup with my bill will remain at it's current $140/month after taxes. Or maybe I will stick with 2GB total and pay ~$110/month.

Edit #3 - Just to prove my point I changed it to the cheapest possible plan advertised on the site. Unlimited talk & text but only 300MB data. Phones still eligible for $199.99 price and 2x phone plan is $100/month. $85/month before taxes for me.

WHOA WHOA this is some "WORSE THAN HITLER"-level shunning. Has Jim Sterling actually found redemption? Or have we just moved the goalposts to previously unexplored regions of shite?

Gaming is once again doomed just because of a new iphone?

It simply makes so much sense, eh?
