[Faraday]

You heard it here first, unless you heard it elsewhere.....

Wii in Australia 24th of November.

Enjoy!

Hi Faraday...

[Faraday]

Hi Cletus!

[mxlegend99]

That's game launching against the PS3. Not too sure how much hype it can build while Sony is building hype for PS3.

Having said that... i guess they have the whole price thing in their favour. Even though the PS3 is technically better value for your dollar. (or thousand dollars)

November 17 PS3
November 24 Wii

Wallets am fucked

[mxlegend99]

I got 2 grand saved. I was saving for a PC upgrade. Damn this shit to hell. If i have the money for both consoles... i won't be able to resist.

Even if i don't have games for them.

[Pat]

Actually, this combined with the $499 rumour might be an indication that an announcement is imminent, if not already made clear to retail offices.

And $499 (if true) is going to look quite good in relation to a $999 PS3.

But not for those who know its a Gamecube Turbo

[mxlegend99]

If it's $499, i will make sure i don't have enough money for it... that would be stupid to spend $500 on an overclocked Gamecube... when the same amount of money can get you a tard Xbox 360.

THAT’S MY FREAKIN BIRTHDAY – I TURN 18!!!!




This is perfect. I can now request a Nintendo Wii from my parents, making it my birthday gift. I'm going to be just like that over-excited kid opening up his N64 on Christmas Day.


Mum + Dad =

[Pat]

Whats the source, Faraday?

[Candy Arse]

Just get Nintendo to send you one instead of your pay cheque, Rocco.

Also it's a day before my birthday so.....I'll still have to buy myself one.

[mech]

Hmmm although I will probably end up getting the PS3 and Wii on launch despite my best intentions, I am really not interesting in either atm.

I did say that about the 360, Halo 2, and GTA: San Andreas though, and bought all of those on launch, so chances are good I will get both on launch.

[selfish]

supposed ps3 launch is my bday
wtf is with all these november babies?

and who else isn't surprised rocco is 17?

i don't believe rumours on price or launch dates until they actually happen for real, there's too many and they're all bullshit
so unless you have a source for this shit please don't bother

[Faraday]

Whats the source, Faraday?

Nintendo themselves. This is what they gave developers and distributors. Its very much locked in.

[lestat]

I'm gonna wait till next march before i pick up anything, ie bonus time. I might crack and get one, but chrissy most of my free cash is usually spent on others so we'll have to see.

[mech]

and who else isn't surprised rocco is 17?

Me, because he's told us before.

[Froggy]

THAT’S MY FREAKIN BIRTHDAY – I TURN 18!!!!

But you'll be too old to own a Nintendo!?

[General Chaos]

I figured him too young to be a nintendo fan. Then again I spose he is Pokemon Generation.

[jahooley]

if i had a cube, i would and could easily afford the Wii on launch. but i have my eyes on the PS3. again, i could pay lauch price but if i did, i would regret it once the price is reduced...
i hope i have the patience...

[Ambrose Burnside]

I'm getting neither at launch

[PhoneMonkey]

I'll just wait to see the quality of the launch titles before I make my mind up.

Although Gamecube was mostly shit, games like Prime and RE4 were pretty awesome and was worth the price of admission.

[GreyWizzard]

meh... I put my $50 down at Toys R Us. At the end of the day it is only money and it is healthier then smack.

[MiNiStRy]

Same here greywizzard I'm actually looking forward to playing the new zelda game on it.

[selfish]

and who else isn't surprised rocco is 17?

Me, because he's told us before.

CALM DOWN EVERYONE IT'S OK MECH IS HERE HE'S BEEN PAYING ATTENTION DO NOT WORRY HE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON


yeah i think i'm gonna put down $50 tomorrow or friday
party on wayne

[westical]

$500 for a hotted up $99 Gamecube?

360 is looking like a bargain right now.
