Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Comcast and Nintendo: A deal that's sure to be in short supply

http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/comcast-offering-a-free-wii-to-new-triple-play-subscribers/

I wonder how much new business Comcast just ensured themselves with this...  Thoughts?

Wow the only thing we would need to change is our phone company. Nice I should tell my parents about this. I could use another wii for something or just sell it and buy more games.



Me too SC. might aswell switch phone to comcast.

then I would be a proud owner of 3 Wiis, and 3 D.S.



Just be aware that the deal they're offering is a bit of a draconian one. They basically take over your entire living room, office, and telephone service for the next two years. If that's worth a Wii to you, then go ahead.

When does this start?

thats fine by me. Triple package gets a discount, and I have been with comcast for a very long time.

Yeah, that is soooo true.  A 24 month service contract?  F*** THAT!!!  This is a good deal if you are in a stale home (dont plan on moving within next 2 years),  you already have a couple comcast services and it won't cost you anymore to convert the others you dont, or you just moved in and don't have any phone/internet/cable set up already.  Otherwise, it would probably be cheaper in the long run to just go buy the actual Wii.  It is only $250 people!  JEBUS!



Currently Playing:

PS4 - Killzone:SF and Assasins Creed 4

 

XBox One: BF4, CoD:Ghosts, Dead Rising 3, Forza 5

 

Changing channels with my voice: priceless!!!

Might explain where all those extra wiis have gone.

If moving out works on time i might just be able to get a second wii in time for the holidays.

That stuff ends up saving you in the long run... or seems to anyway.



As pointed out, it's only a solid deal if you need a TV, internet, and phone solution in a place where you plan to stay for at least 2 years. Otherwise, you're getting a bit of a bum deal.
