Forums - Nintendo - Wii speak over priced

source

Just read that wii speak will be 30 bucks. OMG that is way over priced!

I think the price is right, because with just one Wii Speak, eveyone can use it. Instead of buying 4 wireless headsets, you just need to buy 1 Wii Speak.

Even if you are playing alone, but you have friends in your home, my friends can also talk with the online players too.



You don't actually know that it is $30. It could be $20, or even $25.

Either way, a noise canceling microphone for $30 isn't a bad price.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I also think $30 is reasonable considering you only need one as supposed to paying $60 for 3 headsets.



Pixel Art can be fun.

No, actually, it's not. Go a quick look at the going rate for USB microphones and USB speakerphones, and you'll find that Wii Speak's price is right smack in the middle of the low ends of both. Which makes sense, really, when you consider that it includes some but not all of the technology used in speakerphones. Quod erat demonstrandum: Wii Speak is reasonably priced, and perhaps even cheap.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

Considering it can run you up to $90 for a Jarba, $60 if your lucky and free if you bought War Hawk I don't know if it's over priced or not.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

 Is not free. The PSN game is $30 dlls (just like the Greatest Hits retail disc, with no headset included) and the bundle is $60. They are selling you the headset for $30 bucks.



Seems a good price to me.
