#124553 Basic or Deluxe?

Posted by Crimson on 04 November 2012 - 08:46 PM

The fact that people are willing to buy the basic white just because of the colour when the premium black is far better value makes me laugh.

Do I want Nintendoland ? No. Then again I'm getting the limited edition premium black Zombie U edition which comes with that game instead and a pro controller.

Do I need stands ? Yes..

Do I need a cradle ? Yes.

Do I need more memory ? Yes.

Would it be cheaper to buy external memory ? Maybe but it's no where near as practical.

Do I like the Wii U better in white then black ? Absolutely not. Black is a far better colour.

Am I planning on digitally downloading content to make the 10% discount worth it ? Maybe.

In conclusion all the extra stuff included in the black for $50 more or around £25 more here in the UK makes it great value for money. Because its such great value anyone would be crazy not to go with the premium. ;)


Depends on people.


#10243 Jack Tretton (PS CEO) talks Wii U

I didn’t see anything about Nintendo’s announcement that said ‘Oh, we’d better get working on rolling out a new PlayStation here pretty soon.’ Our attitude is kind of ‘welcome to the party.’ If you’re looking at being a multimedia entertainment device, if you’re looking at high def gaming, that was 2006 for us.


Now, don't call me a fanboy, because I own both a PS3 and PSP, but how about PlayStation Move, Mr. Tretton? If you're talking motion control, wasn't that 2006 for Nintendo, too? Wasn't touch screen gaming (featured on Vita) 2004 for Nintendo, too? How about portable systems? Wasn't that 1980 for Nintendo?  Haters gonna hate, really. This guy is really an idiot. It makes me ashamed to say I own a PS3 when I hear this guy running his mouth and that the only way to comfort himself and promote his company is to dismiss one which actually has had success this generation, by that I mean, you know, turned a profit on its video game console.

Sure, Nintendo's late to 'the HD party', but, in a certain sense, Sony should have respect for its 'elders'. Nintendo's been part of this business since 1985. Sony came along like ten years later after WORKING with Nintendo in the first place. Welcome to the party? I think that this is honestly the first time Sony can tell Nintendo that about ANYTHING. I love the PlayStation brand, but I have to say that I hate its bigwigs.

Anyway, what do you think about Tretton's comments? S
