It's a sucky practice indeed, but it's not something I would chuck a hissy fit over.

I'm sure a charger costs them less than a dollar to make in those quantities.

Well, let me refresh your memory. We're talking about two companies including an item in their product that is necessary for the product to function. Not the prices or any other topic that may want to bring up later. You're comparison is apples to oranges. Also, what do you mean by were they upfront about the prices? When did they announce them and when exactly would have you pereferred them to announce them? As if being upfront about something makes everything ok. People hated the prices themselves, not when Sony announced them. |
Was Sony upfront about the vita memory cards being priced the way they were? Some people are upset by pricing, I get more upset when something is not disclosed: that if I run out of room for something, I can only buy a specific card that is priced way high.
S.Peelman said: You would think this was common knowledge by now. Yes the XL doesn't have a charger. They do this because everyone that owns a DSi or newer already has at least one and they want to keep cost down. Agree with that policy or not, story ends there. |
LOL! You think you can just end an arguement like that?

Yes, because I'm not having one when them not including chargers in XL versions has been standard practise for half a decade now.

I agree that is also a problem imo. I guess when charger prices jump because everything that used to come with a charger doesn't then this will be a problem. Chargers will soon be like batteries where they are not included but are super expensive(because battery prices are still not the best lol). I think this will cause the price of chargers to jump, they are currently so cheap and readily available because EVERYTHING comes with one. But when and if most other companies start following this practice chargers and charging cables will jump in price. Which is the issue that could actually happen if the consumer accepts this kind of practice. |
The charger pricess didn't jump here in europe, so no sweat.

I know, right? Next thing you know people will whine about consoles being sold without controllers. I mean you can buy one from amazon for x amount of money, so no biggie. |
Of course, my wii u didn´t came with any wii mote controls although a lot of games require them (Nintendo Land for example). Im using my old ones, just as you can use your old ac adapter... or buy a new one you know.

Poor example. The Wii U is not a Wii. Do you expect Gamecube controllers to come with the Wii? No.

Sony fans that never intened to buy one in the first place blow this out of proportion? Smh. |
I've actually been considering trading in teh Wii U I recently purchased for a New 3DS.
