I agree. What a rip off. It should be $60 the software for the Wii fit probably took pennies to make in comparison for other games Nintendo sells for $50.

And the sad thing is it will still sell a ton.

It probably won't help you lose weight but it will definately lighten your wallet.

In before Fernando saying this is reasonable.

Being expensive isn't my problem, buying it in the first place is.


WARNING If any of you Joystiqrz buy this, I will disown you, please do not support Nintendo in doing this crap.

I don't even think Fernando defends this... that means stay away.

Say hello to the new Apple.

"We charge what we want, because we know you'll buy it anyway!"

$89.99 is not too bad, and how much you wanna bet that some folks that consider it a "rip-off" are the same bozos that bought the $140 cat helmet edition of Halo 3?

Value is beauty....all in the eye of the beholder.

"Say hello to the new Apple.

'We charge what we want, because we know you'll buy it anyway!'"

Well then in that case - "Say hello...to iBoard."

Calling it a hunk of plastic is very ignorant. A lot of time goes into the production of something like that, it's not just plastic that you stand on. Read the Wii Fit Iwata Asks at Wii.com, gather a knowledge for how it was developed, what it actually does, and then make a comment.

Please, for your own sake.

@velocitystrike

You're right!

I should be calling it a useless piece of plastic.

about as long as it took them to develop the N64 disk drive

Yeah, as opposed to a bunch of idiots like sony does. That's the way to be first in this gen-- oh wait.

I love the Nintendonalds, Don't forget that means Sony is selling the PSKFC since it's 5th in sales.

to Synner:

first off, ive been meaning to tell you that your nick and your avator make you look like a fucking retard. i bet you're an A-grade pussy in real life. seriously, get rid of the machine gun, you're reminding me of the Virginia Tech killer.

second, PS3 is the BMW 7 Series of this gen. its the expensive steak you get at a 7-star hotel. its the Nobel-prize winning supermodel with brains and beauty.

finally, Nintendonald's is the plague of this industry as McDonald's is the plague of the food industry. overcharging on mediocrity has become the new Nintendonald's DNA.

FINALLY!!! Bravo!

Hmm, that's kind of ambiguous Chris, which one?

Oh, I guess not me.

What? Did he really finally get banned? Hurray!!!!!!

Boooooo!!

I liked Curmeo.

I did not think he was mean or threatening or malicious with his posts. Yes they were VERY biased towards Sony and against Nintendo, but I do not understand the big deal with banning him. If you do not like what he has to say....how about not reading it.

I do not like alot of the things Fernandos says, but I will never ask for a ban on him or anyone. Even when he threatened a couple of other posters. Geez people, they are just WORDS.

But it is not my blog so who am I to say what should or should not be done.

Just my 2 cents...thats all.

I liked Curmeo to Matt, outlandish sure, but funny sometimes. I know some of you hate me and wish for my banning but all I can say is why? I know that I can be a bit to sarcastic sometimes but really guys, I come here for two things...news and entertainment with the comments on Joystiq posts. It makes the workday go by so much faster. In my opinion, having "rabid" fanboy rants on certain posts makes for a much more interesting experience.

I will miss his fanboyism for all of .1241 milliseconds.

You really don't think he should have been banned? Did you read his comment? Sure I don't agree with anything he, you, or fernando say a lot of the time but that doesn't matter, it's about video games. His post was totally crazy and had nothing to do with video games.

Fernando might be trolling but he never insulted anybody.

Fernando might be trolling but he never insulted anybody.

Ahhh he'll be back, Curmeo 2.0 next week or even later on this afternoon. lol! I think this time around teh banz was merited.

"Fernando might be trolling but he never insulted anybody."

Even if you post it 2wice it does not make it come true.
Dude, what comments of Fernandos HAVE you read? Most of the time he insults me or other pro-Sony posters to the point of actual physical threats.

He routinely uses colorful language in his posts directed at me or some other Sony supporter.

Like I said, it does not bother me no matter what Fernandos says....but c'mon brother

DONT KID YOURSELF, Fernandos is the BIGGEST name caller on this blog.

The Ban-Hammer strikes!

F-Yeah! Woohoo!

*hi^5s random people*

Where's the beer!?

unless Grant permabans me, i am back as Curmeo 2.0. i will tone it down on this blog of limited speech. Synner was asking for it for quite a while though.

@Ken

Please show me a post where he has said anything remotely like that.

Mr. Grant I owe you a handshake.

Yeah, I called it! Curmeo 2.0 =P So this is great I can spew profanities and pointless crap all I want and just come back as a 2.0!! FTW!

Kidding of course...

Everyone knows Curmeo 2.0 is just 2 ordinary Curmeos duct-taped together!

Alright, perhaps Curmeo deserved it, but what's with the double standard? Synner's still around and as offensive as ever; Fernando was banned once, returned wearing the four-five and is now worse than ever. I say it's time to go Kotaku with the banhammer!

Really, I'm not kidding... I hope someday we meet in a Joystiq meeting or something... I will fucking beat you up. No joking.

I am not going to keep digging, if you want more...do it yourself eh?

now now Fenix, Synner more than deserved my insult to him. if you check his history, he's done the same to me numerous times which were forgiven.

Curmeo

I actually have no problem WITH ANYONE on here. The "FINALLY Bravo" comment to Chris G was just because I really didnt think they used the banhammer up in here. Like I said in a post before, your comments make me laugh and I enjoy reading them. "Nintendonalds" that shizz right there is classic man. And about synner, well Ive never had any run-ins with him...YET lol so I dont really care.

you deserve every one of them.

I really only get pissy about fanboys, greenpeace and peta.

But really; if someone posts the following typical scenarios:

"when you add all the crap you have to buy with yada yada"

"2 gamecubes duct-taped"

"RROD"

"Future game that is delayed 500 times will crush system X"

Etc, they are an idiot, tool, d-bag, etc.

Curmoe, Godisamyth, and fernando all post the same crap over and over, in topics they come right out and SAY they have no interest in, and there post is usually so off-topic, is my calling out what idiots they are really so horrible?

Besides, I love you guys.... no really.

And Curmeo. for about the 500th time.

I love my AK, Hence it is my avatar, sorry, I don't get orgasmic over one of the systems, or master chief, or anime, or any of the other thousand retarded assed avatars out here, but I wasn't aware I had to submit my choice for your approval.

And for the record, it's not a machine gun. It's an assault rifle.

Well its not like he wont be back under a new name...

"Well its not like he wont be back under a new name..."

Um...read what your replying to, he already is back.

Speaking of things that are long overdue, Chris:

For the record, I didn't bang (!) you. I don't really take offense at any manes people call me. I only report if there is a racial slur, or someone uses the other "F" word, etc...

And just for you guy, I'm gonna change my avatar.

wow im late to party again lol. havent seen the ban hammer in a while though so i thought i would say something.

obligatory "im not paying $90 for that thing" comment

oh and "Fernando was banned once, returned wearing the four-five and is now worse than ever." funniest shit ive heard all week.

Ahh I missed it.
