QVC Tricks Thousands Into Overpaying For Wii

If people are too lazy or dumb to research what they're buying, then they deserve to be tricked.

I'm a real big proponent of personal responsibility so I don't disagree that people get what they deserve, but it's hard to argue that QVC isn't being damn near predatory in this case.  QVC is watched primarily by trailer trash and old ladies (and probably old trailer trash ladies I bet).  They're clearly playing on old ladies buying something for the grandkids who don't know any better.  

QVC is certainly in the wrong, but considering the sheer amount of "Now only $199.99" Wii commercials Nintendo has been airing on TV since September, they really should know better.

Nintendo trademarks the term: Zii

Nintendo trademarks Cii, Bii, Oii and Yii as well

Oh, snap!

Microsoft trademarks the term :Zbox, Cbox, Bbox, Obox and Ybox shortly after. They are not sure why, but figure Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Okay this is bad ass.  An Amazon.com exclusive for Punch-Out - A framed and autographed Little Mac boxing glove.

Little pricy though.  $90.   But if you want it, grab it now.

Looks like a tampon.

Koller: It's a pretty seamless toolset that's going to accent gameplay substantially. In terms of the best types of games, I'd say that right now we're looking a real wide variety of genres that can utilize the technology. I think the areas that are going to be really critical to our success will be family games, as well as shooters and sports games. Those are going to be the areas that will really define success, because they're areas that quite honestly, I think Project Natal and the Wii are going to have trouble matching, from a differentiation standpoint. We look at motion control as being that much more than what exists on the market. The Holy Grail of gaming is placing you as a consumer into the game physically. When we provide further details, people will see exactly where we're going, not only from a technological standpoint on the hardware, but also where the gameplay is transitioning. It's going to be a really exciting launch.

I don't know what I want more.  His job, or to punch him in the face for being so patronizing.

Also coming for XBL and PSN.

The continuing adventures of fallout 3.

Last night I rescued papa, walked back to a ship, got lost in the ship, listened to some chit chat then went to the Jefferson Memorial to clear out the green dildo Nemesis looking super mutants out.

I also killed some mole-RATS along the way.
