Well put.

And, yeah, Bankshot Billiards is the sore thumb on Xbox Live right now.  I've got it because it came as the free game in my Live kit, but I doubt I've spent more than 10 minutes with it.

That said, it's supposed to be a great pool simulator.

I hadn't heard that Nintendo had planned on offering free VC games with the purchase of a title, but it doesn't suprise me though given their little bonuses like in Metroid Fusion (Metroid) and WarioWare (Dr. Wario).  Regardless it's a great idea.

I have absolutely nothing to add to the well-said info of blissfulnoise and yap, but let's just say for the helluvit if these games are to be download-to-own...wouldn't it be interesting to go into Gamestop or wherever, buy a used Wii, take it home and find a bunch of downloaded games on the system?  What a bonus!

The same thing could likely happen now if you buy a used Xbox that has dlc on it, unless the seller wipes out the hard drive.

Has anyone confirmed that the Wii will be $249.99 at release, or has there still been no "official" word? Further, has a release date been firmed up?

No word yet, but in an interview a few days ago Iwata said to look at the price of Nintendo's previous consoles to see what the Wii will be priced.

So this might mean since all the other Nintendo consoles debuted at $200, the Wii will too.

I haven't heard any release dates other than q4 06.

Yeah, and in that interview, they specifically brought up EGM's guesses which Iwata, more or less, brushed off.

$199 is looking very likely.  $149 isn't out of the realm of possibility either.  $249 is looking very unlikey based off of his responses.

I'm eagerly, obviously, awaiting more info on the VC's cost and scope.

As soon as the price and date are revealed, I'll be at GameStop reserving mine.

Here's hoping for $199 and October.

It has confirmed that the price will be $250 or less and will come with  AT LEAST one controller and one nunchuck.  It is also rumored that the console might be coming out in October.

What Nintendo should do about the VC is "try before you buy" and let you play the first level of a game with a life or two. Then, you would be buying a game you've never played and end of buying a game you hate. Everybody would be happy.

That's a very good idea.  Let's hope they do that!

I kinda thought that after how weak the gamecube was (IMO), I wasnt sure if NOA would be able to come back.......but I really like the idea of this system, and cant wait to try it out =)

Personally I am more interested in the Nintendo Patent that discloses parts of their version of Live.

Why?  I imagine each download is put in a DRM'd box that requires your account to play.

iTunes sells a billion iTunes without any 'hacking' problems, I don't see this as being a big problem for anyone.
