it ain't perfect (the whole lying thing), but it's interesting, involved some degree of research and ingenuity, and is timely.

this is assuming it wasn't pitched by an msoft or nintendo rep, of course. even then!

Wow, real news.

I'm am amazed that a game journalist actually did some king of work. A rare find in today's hand-fed games "reporting".

Also thanks to the Xmas season being over, the Wii is also becoming much easier to find now. Even Gamestop/EB has them on hand. The accessories are still a bit scarce, but it is much less of a quest to secure a system now. Ebay prices have also been dropping steadily since Xmas. They are selling for under $400 now which is about half of what they went for during the frenzied week before.

I'm glad that I do my gift exchanges on January 6. It really is rather convenient!

Yeah, that's not bad esp. coming from Kotaku. Pretty good story to cover at this time of year too.
