OriGin said: Dude price is industry wide, if not WORSE on PS3 and 360 so that's not an argument against Nintendo. Regarding the release dates... yeah that certainly sucks a big fat monkey ball... BUT it seems to me, the games that were previously started in development and then converted to Wii, Super Paper Mario is the main example seem to have the longer PAL delays, while the games that have been created for Wii from scratch generally seem to be launched fairly closely to each other around the world... I would expect the PAL launches during 2008 to follow more closely. Although, that doesn't really explain Brawl which is going to kill me because we're gonna need to wait for the PAL code because of online play with that game if it's region locked like Strikers... that there REALLLLLLY sucks! |
I know the price increase is industry wide. Newsflash, Nintendo is part of the industry! They could easily lower the price of the games, but they don't because they would prefer gouge their customers. Don't worry, MS doesn't get off lightly either. Sony made the PS3 region free so I'm just hoping more people import games so they drop their price.
I'm sorry there's no excuse for Nintendo's practises here. "But everybody else does it" is no excuse. If I want to mod my console I bloody well will (it's perfectly legal). Maybe if they stopped ripping off their customers we'd be less inclned to import.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
