Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX

Upcoming TRU ad has a $50 "price cut" on the Wii listed. No word if it's a permanent drop by Nintendo or just a deal at TRU: http://kotaku.com/5359038/toys-r-us-...rop-this-month

Sweet. My mom has tasked me with finding a deal on one. She wants one for all the grandkids for Christmas.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX

This email showed up in my spam filter and I'm pretty sure that's where it belongs because why would it show up in my email instead of on my wii? I don't even think I have my email address linked to the wii in any way but I thought I would see if anyone else got this. I changed the numbers to 555 to protect any possible innocents.

That looks like the email you will get if someone has added your email to the address book on their Wii.

If you know anyone with a Wii I'd ask them if they sent the request.

The Wii has the ability to do either Wii code or email addresses. If your friend added your email address to his book then it would send the friend request straight to that email.

Re: Official Wii thread -Part IX

Permanent price cut confirmed:

Following several days of scanned images indicating a Wii price cut, Nintendojo can now confirm that such a cut is indeed coming. Wii will be reduced to $199, effective Sunday, September 27th, and will likely include retailers nationwide. The confirmation was made during a retailer conference call today where a Nintendojo staffer was in attendance.

With the price cut they should have also made an announcement about the black Wii for the U.S.

Inevitable appearance of the "That's Racist" animated GIF in 3...2...1...

I haven't kept up, will Super Mario Bros. Wii be a decent single player game or is this purely a MP affair?

Final Fantasy CC: TCB, No More Heroes 2 and Sin & Punishment 2 all within a couple month period.

Too much awesome to handle, it makes me quiver.

Amazon is giving the $10 pre-order credit on New SMB. Only $46.99 right now - 10% ECA discount puts it at $42.29 (or would is the discount off the list price so it would actually be $41.99?).

Net of ~$32.

I'm going to give it a few days to show up in my gold box. I spent about 45 minutes yesterday tailoring my picks so that what I want shows up there. Already got Halo: Reach in there this morning. $47 (CAG is awesome)

I really need to sign up for that ECA thing since I buy almost all of my games from Amazon now.
