I don't want to hear what anyone else's opinion, i want to hear what nintendo has to say for myself and decide for myself whether it sucked or not. Yes, it sucked big time, but my point is that i don't want to hear HIS f---king whining about it.

what the hell is this reporter's problem? i am here to read about nintendo's plans and product, not his bitter sarcastic interpretation of the event. what a f--king joke of a reporter, you're obviously bitter about not being assigned the MS or Sony reporter.

tell me how a game that is pretty much the same as all other GTA games, with better graphics and better story and better overall construct, if-you've-played-it-before, you know what you're getting, deserve to be the best game of the generation, 10/10 from virtual every reviewer?

i don't deny it deserving to be one of the best, but when there is no significant innovation, it doesn't deserve to be a 10/10 game.

i think this is a case of the hardcore GTA gamers (who make up the reviewers) trying to take a piece back from the casual gamers who've been dominating the sales chart and the mainstream media

lenovo needs to get the executive support team to handle their existing customers who are getting f----- over by their incompetent customer service.

1hr wait on the phone, no replies to emails, are just the beginning of the nightmare for customers who ordered the Thinkpad T61 in may. The new customers who ordered in June are happily getting their laptops while the ones ordered in May still doesn't know when they'll get theirs.

it's not fancy but works wonders to get you some wii friends fast! lots of active members.

I work in retail selling electronics for a small company (small compared to bestbuy and gamestop). We don't sell video games even though we have access to through our distributor. Why? EXACTLY for the reasons that DVD Empire is talking about--fixed prices, high prices, no returns, bad games, price drops, etc.

I don't know why DVD Empire decided to bitch about the situation on their site, somewhat unprofessional. That said, it's a huge problem for retailers, I am sure even for large retailers, that the industry and its customers are so accustomed to timed price drops. Possibly with Nintendo as the only exception, most publishers drop their prices at the earliest hint of a slow down.

The book industry has similar price drop scheme, but they protect their best selling properties much longer than game publishers. Also, subsequent cheaper version of hardcover books are paperback and news-paperbacks, which ARE cheaper to produce and offers a slightly different reading experience due to size and paper quality, which allows both paperbacks and hardcoverbacks to sell at the same time at difference price points.

Games are all the same with exception of the greatest hits cover, so once the price drops, the retailers have to sell ALL of their games at the new low price. With lack of returns and price protections, the previously stocked games have to be sold at a loss.

The whole model, whether online or offline, is totally screwed up, the timed price drops need to stop because it only breeds an army of cheap ass gamers who wait for price drops. Price drops are okay, but the publishers need wait a lot longer than they do now. Nintendo's President Satoru Iwata has talked about this price drop problem and he knows what he's talking about.

this website was designed to facilitate to code exchange using request system, not just another forum where users post their codes into the "blackhole" and not really knowing if anyone else will add them back.

it now also has functions to upload pictures of miis to share with everyone.

there is a website that allows users to trade both DS and Wii codes in the same system. it's also flexible enough for individual codes for Wii games too.

in my previous post, i didn't realize the TV in question is a projection TV, in this case, definintely possible.

no way! years ago when my little sister beat one of my friends at Street Fighter 2, he got so mad, he threw the SNES controller HARD at my TV and no damage.

but then, the Wii remote has sharp corners where as the SNES controller was round, so if i learned anything in physics, wii remote should be more dangerous than the SNES controller

sounds like a suggestion for the Mythbusters!
