Really?Ok this guy, this article, everything about this being brought to any attention is dumb. This is one guys whinefest and a bloggers place to hop on the secret wahmublance. About how the Wii was over priced compared to his coveted Atari days. He is complaining about another controller? When since Sega has anyone bought a console with more than one controller? On top of that the Wii offers more one controller multiplayer games than any other system. His big problem with this is that he wanted to get LEGO RockBand and had to get more than the one that came with it. He had two kids he should've done the freaking math on this. The internet? Any system he'd have this problem because he hasn't gotten the idea that wireless is far more convenient. Sir, buy a 360 and drop the, now, extra 100 bones it takes to fix your internet problem even if you had a wireless modem. The Wii gives it to you for fucking free. Plus it's a fucking Wii! Who uses the internet on the Wii? No one plays online on it because it's sad. The only thing you need the internet for is to download throwback games, Everybody Votes Channel and use it to watch Hulu when your computer is down. His kids are 7 and 4, internet should not have been a factor. Batteries as a complaint? Oh sweet mothageeze, are you kidding me. Please explain to me what can be bought these days that don't need batteries or a charge pack. I think you might be a little slow Mr. Reporter. Ok I wonder how this would have gone down if he bought a dvd player. I'd imagine it'd go something like this.“I need to buy replacement batteries? They don't last forever?” No Sir only Sony is awesome enough to give you a controller with a battery that is guaranteed for 'life'. Your smart phone, computer, car, and to be frank, what the hell! your T.V. remote doesn't have that. How is this news? “You mean I need a T.V. to watch this?” Yeah funny story about that one. “Dvds don't come in it? I have to turn it on with electricity that I pay with my monthly bill? It doesn't just shoot images in to my brain whenever I think about it?” If you are going to complain about something with the Wii complain about the lack of an online environment to play with others. Or that no developer has done even an impressive job at utilizing any of the features of the Wii. How about it's the only system not playing movies. To bitch about the $199, $60 and what the fuck? $30 on rechargeable batteries? I've bought the energizer recharge packs because I hate docks and $30 seems like a lot of money. There are charging docks for two controllers that are $14. Either way $290 and some odd with tax is still not that big of a deal. For the blogger to state the obvious of “Gaming consoles may be dropping in price, but they never are as "cheap" as the price tag says, no?” is just stupid, no game console is ever as cheap as the price tag says if you have two people playing it. |
