The Price is Right goes gaming, gives away DSi pack

by Ben Gilbert { Jun 14th 2009 at 2:30PM }

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!

Well played Chad.

Austin @ Jun 14th 2009 4:25PM

I agree.

Chad Vanderbilt (Moptimus in Disguise) @ Jun 14th 2009 2:35PM

thats actually a mighty find selection. Someone must've known what they were doing

Sly [PSN SniperChameleon] @ Jun 14th 2009 3:37PM

yeah, it really is pretty good.

chispito @ Jun 14th 2009 5:45PM

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.

I watch the price is right quite often, and they also give away 360s and ps3's just as often.

K4Lic0 @ Jun 14th 2009 3:21PM

I've seen them give away Wii's as well.. a few times, in fact.

Lunastra78 (PSN: lunastra78) @ Jun 14th 2009 4:12PM

And if you're really lucky they will give you an Spectrum 48K.

Slow news day huh?

Sora @ Jun 14th 2009 2:45PM

It's Sunday, of course it is.

Ceryk @ Jun 14th 2009 2:54PM

Must be really slow. The Price is Right has been giving away gaming packages for years.

jacob @ Jun 14th 2009 2:59PM

Drew my lucky numbers 7 So im saying its 7... and the number is 9 if your lucky number was 8 you would have a car. BUT YOU GOT A KAYAK

Cory Anotado @ Jun 14th 2009 3:06PM

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.

jacob @ Jun 14th 2009 3:13PM

i have not seen the final price on it but it cost at least at my store 749.9 for all that before tax

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.

MystileArmor @ Jun 14th 2009 3:29PM

Haha, I can't believe you went and looked that shit up... lol

Judd @ Jun 14th 2009 4:11PM

Apparently I have as little to do on the weekends as Joystiq.

BiggyKaOs @ Jun 15th 2009 12:50AM

Thanks for posting the time it starts.

Luke @ Jun 14th 2009 3:22PM

He got it.

Draco @ Jun 14th 2009 3:51PM

Thanks... no CBS in Canada :(

KieranD @ Jun 14th 2009 3:23PM

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.

johnson412 @ Jun 14th 2009 5:13PM

If the US version had ever had as terrible a host as the crap UK version, it would have gone off the air ages ago as well. Even Drew is better than any UK Price is Right host I've ever seen, and he's no Bob Barker.
