Order Pizza With Your Wii

[Svenparty]

The human race goes one step closer to total laziness.

Except, when that happens the pizza man won't becoming to your door because he couldnt be bothered.

I WANT THIS NOW!

I'll use the phone, but thanks anyway, Japan.

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

So far this will probably stay in Japan because it's a service in partnership with a Japanese food delivery business, but that's too bad.

*raises fists to the air Shatner-style and screeches* JAAAPAAAAAAAAN! Damn you! I wanted to order Taco Bell tacos from Taco Bell! FROM TACO BELL!!!!

But in a decade or two, when we have automated cars...

wasn't there a plan like this in WoW, i while back.... order food from an guy in game, and it'd arrive soon after?

This was in Everquest 2

The Japanese have some fantastic takes on "Fast Food", sure they have some westernized ideas but I did catch a program about one of their eastern fast food restaurants. They did traditional Japanese food quickly, it was pretty impressive actually and it was found to be much more popular.

This is a pretty good system imo, at least it cuts out the problem of looking for a menu.

haha, and I thought people couldn't get any more lazier.

That's insanely lazy... but also kinda cool.

Man they've been running an ad campaign as of late that promises (and I paraphrase) that "even though there aren't many channels yet, we're working on it so hang with us." I guess this catering channel is what they meant.

I'm afraid to think of how expensive it might be though. Here in Japan even a ~9 inch pizza costs around US$20 to order.

If it gets called "Wiiza," someone will die.

With Mozarella Wiize, Peppewiioni and sausage.(Wii and sausage should just not go together.)

 

[yeah_so_no]

I just want to know what kind of pizzas they have and how much they cost. If they have pepperoni, or are less than $30 for a large (pizza prices in Japan are insaaaaane), I might consider getting a Wii.

And I'm not really seeing how this is any more lazy than ordering online or ordering on the phone. Heck, you've actually got to physically move around some to order your pizza this way.

There was a planned Windows XP feature that went one better.

Alas to many people had Heart attacks during beta testing so it was never released

In Everquest 2 (only on North American servers, I think) you could use /pizza to bring up the Pizza Hut menu and order pizza. That may be what you were thinking of, I never heard about Blizzard planning to use it in WoW.

I think WoW used it as an April Fool's Joke where it pretended it partnered with Panda Express or something...

Actualy the first thing that poped into my mind when I saw this was Piiza.

And I thought Wii was trying to make fat people thin.......
