And there's other good ideas for it to. But the price I can't get over. Nintendo is going after PS3 and XBox.. and Nintendo is going to curbstomped like his name was Skull. And PS3 was using a Final Ride card.

I'll just go buy a Wii on the cheap.

The Basic Edition is $300 which is only $50 more than what the original Wii retailed for when it was released in 2006. While I agree that it might be overpriced when you compare the economy today with the economy of 2006, you still are getting a lot of bang for your buck. Granted, for people wanting to buy a Nintendo system right now the Wii is much more afordable. The price will come down, I will guarantee you that. The question people should be asking is not if the Wii U is worth the money (it is) but rather do they want to shell out the full original MSRP to be one of the first to own one or if they would rather wait until the inevitable price drop. For those who have the means I would recommend picking one up (I reviewed it on my blog which is linked below) but for others I would suggest waiting until more high profile games are released. Just my two cents! Sorry for the double post!
