Gamestop Loses Its Mind

[asinann]

Someone want to explain why it's madness to sell the Wii for it's retail price?

Plus they're giving away free rubber duckies, and who doesn't love a rubber ducky.

I find this hilarious and I have no idea what everyone's getting their panties in a twist over.

I mean, they're silly bundles, can't we just keep them silly and not get all serious over it? They're just silly!

EDIT: Wait wait wait, isn't $250 the regular price of a retail Wii? I mean, seriously, I must have missed something, because what is it apparantly usually priced at in retailers? Apparantly something less than $250, though I don't remember a price cut...

It's not April, is it? I like the summer fun bundle. Score one point for Wii, zip for everyone else.

I thought this was some sick joke until I realized that you can drop it in the cart.

I suppose this is Nintendo's way of appealing to a more "causual" market.

Looks like the toy merger is complete.

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

Uh... what?

...that does seem slightly stupid if you ask me... Oh btw I'm English, meaning I'm very modest with my reactions on subject matters. In your foolish foreign English, my response would be translated into:

[irishstormtrooper]

This is really pathetic. I really can't think of anything to say besides that.

Broad generalizations of Americans are quite amusing, aren't they?

Why did natural selection have to go away? We could really use right about now.

 

[doctorwhofan]

Yup! THey are selling. THere are more "casual" gamers than there are "hard core" gamers. Guess who didn't have to really lower their system price over the years??
