I am wondering when will Wii cost go down under $200? I also want to rent one but I am sure now video rental places doesn't lean Wii to people...
 
It's not that expensive. Look at Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Now these are expensive.

Keep in mind that the original Xbox and PS2 came out at $299. Nintendo Wii came out at only $250.
 
Wii prices won't go down for maybe an year. They still have to sell the backordered Wiis.

Not to mention that the Wii is still fairly recently new, so it may take a while for prices to go down.
 
that true but Wii still lots of money and await for years to under about $200.00 or $300.00 depends stores policy says but im really like this games cool any video games but i never been touch before!

mostly people got in first places and my brother and me never got one before! but my brother still have playstation 2

Righto! Wii need a better graphic card as PS3/xbox360 and they will hit it big for sure. By the way how's Super Mario doing?

Why? Wii is using ATI GPU.

If Wii use Intel GPU then it would be screw up.
 
In a year or two or even longer, the price will go down. I don't even care for Wii. If my son wants one, he would have to save it up for himself. He have Game Cube and he's happy just for now. :thumb:

Have you seen the graphics on Wii? it's horrible. They are not designed for 1080p HDTVs at all. We are supposed to be in the future and Wii didn't get to that yet since their graphics look like PS2 and Xbox.

Wii is only support up to 480p.
 
Price will go down once the popularity dies a bit. it took about a year for the PS2's price to go down due to popularity.so the same will happen for wii or any other game system. it takes a while for prices to drop.

it has nothing with graphic machine, it's up to game developer to design. Have you see Resident Evil Umbrella?

That's example that team able to crate beauty and help make quick loading. yes?
 
Wii's price wont go down for other 2 years or so cuz theres still more backorder unlike Xbox 360 or PS3... If u could get much cheaper on eBay...

However, there's certain of Wii games don't support 480p like GT Pro Series.
GT Pro Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think if games don't support 480p then would force to change into 480i, it's same thing for PS3, if using 1080p on dashboard then force to change into 720p when playing on Motorstorm.
