Why are you surprised?  You didn't buy this.  No one did (except me - twice)

I bought it too. The theme song sold me on it, but honestly I have regrets.

Still suffering from the airplane cough here, almost a month after it started when they gave us a written warning about Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. Just read this on the CDC website:

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is viral respiratory illness first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012. It is caused by a coronavirus called MERS-CoV. Most people who have been confirmed to have MERS-CoV infection developed severe acute respiratory illness. They had fever, cough, and shortness of breath. About 30% of people confirmed to have MERS-CoV infection have died.

So, awesome.

Then just don't get it confirmed and you'll be fine. Nyaa

Wired: The PS4 may be more powerful, but Xbox One is stronger

While this may be true in both cases, it doesn't change the fact that the Wii U overcomes their performance in power and strength with its pure flexibility.

Microsoft to launch wearable Xbox One devices next year

This is going to improve Halo Collection's online performance 10 fold. Way to put resources where it counts.

How so? The Wii U doesn't feel all that flexible at all; it's pretty rigid, actually. The screen might be a bit more flexible, but I would not recommend flexing it as they are quite expensive to replace.

Best Buy's Black Friday Wii U bundle:

For a $360 USD, that's a very impressive deal! . . . And it's still in stock at bestbuy.com. Hrm What the hell is wrong with people? This should have sold out within an hour.

If I was in the market for a Wii U, then that would've been a steal.

Bundles don't create that much demand, people see the price much more. That shows the wii u being more expensive, all anyone will see is that the One is cheaper than the wii u. It's a bad idea. Wii u needs to be $250. Forget the bundle.

I am surprised Nintendo didn't have a price drop this season. $250 would be a lot better for them.

With Smash coming out this was Nintendo's last chance to get the full price for the console. Once the Smash hype is over and done with I suspect we'll finally see the price drop. Mid March or April I'm betting.

I've been playing a ton of Smash.  Plus, I found Pilotwings Resort for $5 yesterday, so I played a bit of that.

I bought Fallout 3 GOTY and Oblivion GOTY PC off Steam's holiday sales today. Both games running at 1080P, 60FPS, HDR Lighting and AA = Fucking amazing! Absolutely destroys the PS3 versions I have graphically. I tweaked Oblivion's ini file to extend the draw distance about double the normal maximum too; no more buildings popping into existance twenty yards in front of me! I <3 PC gaming. Grinning

During the week I played a lot of Dragon Age: Inquisition. This weekend I played a bit of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and a wee bit of The Wonderful 101. Mostly though I've been playing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare because it's double XP this weekend.
