I have a bro who works at Best Buy n giving him the money, he is going to buy the extra controllers n accessories at half off.........HALF OFF. I'll get the accessories 11/25, plus an HD Preimum Component Cable from MadCatz if it comes out in time.

found out that the PS3 comes with no HDMI cable, just a Composite Cable, HA HA.........suckers.

Wii > PS3]]>Nov 18th 2006 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/sandisk-selling-special-edition-sd-cards-for-wii-at-a-premium/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/sandisk-selling-special-edition-sd-cards-for-wii-at-a-premium/
Yes, you can find things cheaper than retail on Pricegrabber, you'll undoubtably find these as well. As it stands these Wii memory cards will cost the same as the plain vanilla ones. $35 for 512MB, $90 for 2GB.

this sounds like a deal. assuming you pay attention to in-store prices, which is obviously the target market for these.]]>Nov 18th 2006 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/sandisk-selling-special-edition-sd-cards-for-wii-at-a-premium/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/sandisk-selling-special-edition-sd-cards-for-wii-at-a-premium/Nov 18th 2006 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/sandisk-selling-special-edition-sd-cards-for-wii-at-a-premium/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/sandisk-selling-special-edition-sd-cards-for-wii-at-a-premium/Nov 18th 2006 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/sandisk-selling-special-edition-sd-cards-for-wii-at-a-premium/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/sandisk-selling-special-edition-sd-cards-for-wii-at-a-premium/Nov 18th 2006 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/sandisk-selling-special-edition-sd-cards-for-wii-at-a-premium/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/sandisk-selling-special-edition-sd-cards-for-wii-at-a-premium/
i guess this isn't really related to the post (other than i just invested in more sd memory than i should need for a while). i'm just glad to see capacities increasing and prices falling like a rock.

remember this?

You have it right there. Can you imaging the confusion on all the faces of the 50+ crowd (Nintendo IS targeting them) when it comes to the Nintendo Wii...of course they will go for the 'branded' one.

It is more 'iPodification' of the product by Nintendo to have cobrands at higher than average prices and skim some profit. (Higher than average for the product not the brand...ie you really don't NEEED to buy a Made for iPod FM transmitter but look how many do!)

As a side point...$99 bucks for 2GB...UM...doesn't that pay for a new 20GB HD for Xbox 360 or 200GB internal 2.5 for the PS3.?]]>Nov 18th 2006 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/sandisk-selling-special-edition-sd-cards-for-wii-at-a-premium/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/sandisk-selling-special-edition-sd-cards-for-wii-at-a-premium/
I thought I read that you'll have a max 100 mp3 available regardless of SD size

I thought I read that you'll have a max of 1000 photos available regardless of SD size.

You cant save mp3 or photos or video to the SD card while browsing with Opera.

So...do you really need a large SD card?
