Read the bidding escalation. There were people actually raising the price from $650 to $150K.

Haha. He's got 1 feedback, and that's from buying the PS3 for sale for $800! Awesome.

That winning bid is bogus though, it's from some Nigerian scammer. Although the person who bid $150k exactly doesn't look bogus, maybe he'll get a second chance offer!

I may buy a Wii in a year or so when the price goes down... just because it's way cool. The only game I care about is The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess and I can play that on my GameCube, so I'm not all that worried about getting any gaming system. I don't play that many games.

Exactly. I just went home from uni this weekend to get my N64. Haven't stopped playing it since. Bought some games off eBay aswell, including the Zelda that I never played (Majora's Mask). Me and my flat mates haven't stopped playing it since.

Majora's Mask is really good. I really enjoyed it. Much better than Windwaker... which was a big disappointment. I hated having to travel through water ALL THE TIME. Both games they had on N64 were amazing though, and the new one looks unbelievable.

aww, I liked Windwaker. I never did get to play Majora's Mask long enough to finish it and would definatly play it if I could get the game and the console.

The PS3 though, no way. A company can only do so many horrible things to its users before they stop buying their stuff regardless of how amazing the graphics are.

Nintendo Wii, hecks ya!

Let's just hope some good software publishers get behind the Wii unlike what happened with the GC when the only good games came from Nintendo.

yea that's very true... it was truly a bummer. The games Nintendo made were awesome though... Zelda, Metroid (both of them were AWESOME) etc... great games.
