Let's wait for Nintendo to state it. You're just hours away. Stop with the "reported" this and that. FFS, the official word is coming.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

2:34PM: Virtual Console game pricing has now been officially confirmed. Iwata says the price of each game will start at 500 Yen, with SNES games going for 800 Yen, and N64 games costing 1000 Yen.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

2:50PM: We just received word that the New York Times article has been pulled from the web. Perhaps our suspicions were right and they were simply guessing the approximate price point.

I was speaking idiomatically.

All that matters is that the Newspaper Article was WRONG. For better or worse. Just so you all shut up and wait to see what Iwata says.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And I repeat:

2:56PM: Official release date in Japan is December 2nd. Price is 25000 Yen (approximately US$212)

Compared to other current-gen controllers, it's reasonable.

Just remember the American prices will vary. Think of this as a rough guideline for what we'll want to hear.

:25PM: 16 games will be available on launch day from 10 different publishers. Cost of the games will be as reported earlier, 4,800 to 6,800 Yen. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be a full price game at 6,800 Yen.

Here's an idea: http://wii.ign.com/articles/709/709258p1.html

I called EB "I WANNA PAY FOR IT NOW."

"I'm sorry, but we can't take Pre-Orders until we have a release date and price."

"NOVEMBER 19TH, NOW GIMMIE!"

Regarding the Region-Free (Instantly making Gamecube mod chips obsolete) settings, it was confirmed that the 1st party games were. No word on 3rd party....but one thing's probably going to happen: Naruto imports. Oh yeah.

Ahahahahahahahhaahha!

I got "the call" today. I recalled EB saying they weren't taking preorders yet on Zelda. I forgot I paid for the game in full in 2004.

Lukage has 8 copies of Red Steel also on reserve.

8 @ 50 = 400
1 @ 50 = 50

$450 to spend.

250 - Console
50 - Zelda
50 - Red Steel
60 - Extra Controller (I have Wavebirds)
50 - Rayman
-------
$460 plus tax. Considering I'd get like 4 games...I need another $100. I get paid Friday. Bam! I save my next paycheck for a plethora of VC. Finished.

I'm referring to any time prior to today. And technically, they aren't taking Wii Zelda preorders until Friday.

If there isn't a planned one, there will be a party held that weekend outside the store. It'll be nice. I'll get there so early that two lines will form. Wii. PS3. Although...the only...what, first 10 people for the PS3 line will make it worthwhile?

I've been paying off on my copies of Red Steel for weeks. I'm all paid for the console. Just reserve 5 copies of Red Steel and pay it in full...then when you can Pre-Order, you just move the titles to the console.

Wii Pre-Orders officially at 10AM tomorrow. I'll be there at 6, so told me the cute girl who works there. She said they'd only get 8 consoles. I've already reserved 8 copies of Red Steel, so my money is ready to be transferred over!

Camera is go for tomorrow. I have no DS, Laptop, porn magazines, or whatever...so I gotta find something to do there for 4 hours. Someone should call me regularly for check-ins and I'll report live from the scene and you can upload it to the internets!

(Chances are I'll be alone for 3 hours and cold as hell and will cry)

EDIT: So freaking close to my estimates. Here's what I've already paid

(Note: Anything other than games is paid through copies of Red Steel. )
