Maybe Wii’ll Buy One…

…and maybe not.  Kotaku is reporting on the price details for the Wii and while $250 isn’t too bad the real kick in the crotch is the cost of the controllers, $40 with the nunchuck attachments at $20. So for management and I to get our game on is going to cost us about $435 (including CT sales tax). Hmmm. With the estimated cost of Gabriella making her debut ringing up in the high $3k range I don’t really see a new console in my near future, especially considering we canceled my XBL account last week. I’ll just have to satisfy myself living vicariously through gaming news and friends. ;-)

    We’re not planning on buying a Wii but will pick up a DS Lite for Christmas. There are still several GameCube and GBA games that we want too. A lot of those can be had for pretty cheap (just picked up Wind Waker for $8 new!) and they will keep us busy for a long time. For our budget, it’s definitely an advantage to be a generation behind.
