Engadget has a post about a USA Today article citing that the Nintendo Wii will be released in November for $250. No big surprise there, but this as close to an actual announcement as we’ve gotten so far.
The nice news (yes, nicer than a possible price) is that Connect24, Nintendo’s answer to Xbox Live, will be free. For everyone. Akin to the Xbox Live Silver account, but this will let you play games online as well (can we say Smash Bros.?).
Oh yeah! This would be cool. We’ll see if it’s real. I’m doubting it, no matter how accurate the source may have been in the past.
It begs the question, though. Why convert to text when you can just relay the voice to other players? Better yet, what kind of single-player games might be coming that would require text entry?
It’s just a rumor, though. We’ll know for sure by year’s end, no doubt.
Monopoly is going plastic. The only game I ever played that had a hope of teaching me how to count change no longer requires the counting of change…
In a world that only uses cash to buy burritos in Redlands (and they are well worth it), this move was inevitable. And finally, the play money may one day soon be worth more than the denomination marked as collector’s items.
