I'm one of those game fraks you know, always wanting the new consle that comes out, well, looking my mom found the New Gameboy Advance SP in the paper and, reading it, I saw it said:
"Nintendo plans to sell the Gameboy Advance SP for $99.95 in the United States. The Gameboy Advance retails for $69.99, but Nintendo believes adults won't mind the higher price."
Haha! That is SO funny! Yeah, sure they won't mind buying it for 100 bucks, when you got the other on for 70. That's funny... Anyone eles think its funny?! ;D

I think it's stupid! I don't get it at all! And wht does it specify adults? You'd they're the ones who WOULD mind, since it'll be their kids playing it.

It's the parents who buy them and the kids that play them, which is why they SHOULD mind. But Mom doesn't believe in buying us toys except for special occaisions. She lets us do that with our allowance. We've bought our game boy advanced systems and most of our games with our own money. |

No, it's brilliant. Dumb, annoying, overcostly... but brilliant. Think of all the idiots that went to see "Titanic". Now I'm not saying that everyone that saw it is an idiot (I saw it, with my grand-parents no less), but who the hell went to see it so many times that it made NEARLY 2 BILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS?  It was one of the biggest piece of crap movies I had ever seen... I suppose it was quality enough to make the top-100 grossing list, maybe $200 million, but NOT that much. But the consumers were gullible, so it made a whole bunch. And that's exactly why Nintendo is releasing this. The American public is overall too lazy to shop around for better prices, too lazy to check the package to even see what it is, then later on, when they complain about how much the product sucks, they're too lazy to return it. Mind you, I'm not blasting Americans... I am American. But we are so gullible and lazy, any company with well-known name can trick us. |
