It seems as though every day there's more mainstream saturation for Nintendo products. Why just the other day, we spotted Drew Carey offering a decently tasty Nintendo DSi bundle during the "Showcase Showdown" portion of his (well, not really his) gameshow, The Price is Right -- should the contestants guess the right price, of course.
Though titles like Lord of the Rings: Conquest and, unsurprisingly, The Price is Right game were among those offered, DS staples like New Super Mario Bros. and Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword also made their way into the fray. We know, we know, the question on all your minds is of course: Did the contestant win? You'll have to see yourself over at the CBS website, folks!

No kidding. You'd have expected it to be half 'Imagine: CrapZ' style games, but somebody did his or her homework when throwing together that prize pack.
I must say I would like to believe it was one of the models, you know, the ones whose usual job responsibilities are glamorously displaying denture creams and pretending to drive golf carts.

The Big Wheel is the Showcase Showdown Round. The final round is called the Showcase. That's why each podium says "Showcase" on it.
The more you know.

If you gave us the link to the CBS Video, you could've helped us out by letting us know when in the broadcast they showed this. If anyone else cares, it's at the 33 minute mark.

The most surprising thing is that you crazy (possibly drunk) American's still have The Price is Right. Us UKians got rid of that pish ages okay xD.

And technically, the item up for bid row is called "One Bid". And I only know this all because I was on the show

It should be noted that The Price is RIght has given away all three major gaming systems in the past before (PS3, X-Box 360 and Wii) in recent years.
