Okay nick, it didnt say it had to be your own origional design did it? No. #2 definatly isnt his own so dont be a hater. Dont go out and call mine fake as fuck, its not like i make a gaming food creation every minute.

Nick: if it's not loaded to flicker with tag "joystiqfood" it's not entered into the contest.

Generally, you should have rights to an image to be able to win the contest with it, though we can't possibly check who made what, so we'll leave it to the honor system.

Flickr's community rules require you to upload only photos that you've taken yourself. Don't pass off someone else's photo as your own.

My wife and I made this for my birthday, also got an iPod cake in there from last year, enjoi!

Several things:

1. Nintendo is making a mistake by packaging only one controller into the bundle, when the game that is packaged into the bundle is best played with two or more players.

2. They are targeting non-gamers, and the best way to win them over is to let a person have fun while playing with at a friends house who has already bought a console. 3.I'd rather have a gamecube with two wii-motes and Wii-sports for (100+60+60+30) 250 dollars than the Wii package plus another wiimote for 310 dollars. The Wii isn't much more powerful than the GC, but they aren't the same. They spent research dollars on making the technology small and energy efficient. These are good things, but they also drove up the cost of the Wii. 4. People praise Nintendo for not selling the Wii at a loss. Sure, it might make business sense, but I'd rather have them make it back through having a large userbase. I am a consumer, and I want to see the same discounts that are applied elsewhere in the industry. I want the Wii package for below $200. Besides, if they want to expand their base into non-gamers then they need a lower price to encourage sales.

5. Finally. I think Nintendo began to be encouraged by the internet hype and got overly greedy. Greed is natural for businesses, but too much greed can hurt their business. I believe that Nintendo thought that the Wii is SO popular that success is ensured already. I tell you what. Most people(read: non-gamers) don't know what a Wii is. Its going to take word of mouth, grass roots viral .. And to do that they need a critical mass to set things off. A low, heavily subsidized price($190 with 2 Wii-motes) would create that critical mass. I think Nintendo is being too conservative and will thereby limit the extent of their dominance and cultural penetration. THey have a console that is addictive, versatile, and friendly to all age groups. They have caught the competition flat-footed, and now is the time to be aggressive for mindshare and market share. This is their chance to let it be known that they are the gaming company, and that gaming is for everyone. No, Nintendo is hedging their bets and being conservative.

I know it might be tempting what with this thread revolving around food, but whatever you do, DON'T FEED THE TROLL. :P
I wish I had the skillz to make edible foodstuffs like that
