nintendo said at the e3 conference that they will offer the old nintendo games for free when you use your wii system to download the games. a lot of the classic nintendo games are pretty good.
there is probably more profit to be made on fleabay with the wii system than the ps3 base on how high sony is pricing the ps3 at.
Glad someone started this. I was looking at the PS3 at first till I saw how steep it was. Forget that. If anyone hears anything, let us know. I will be on the lookout as well.
SO glad somebody started this - I can't wait for the Wii to come out - everything I saw from E3 looks freaking amazing, and I cannot wait to get my hands on that crazy controller! (Speaking of, dear Lord, will they EVER give me Twilight Princess? Ever?? Anybody know a release date for that?)

just because the price of the ps3 is higher dont think there wont be a demand for it the ps3 will sell out and it will be hard 2 find for weeks and some people will pay a premium to have one
I'll be in for sure. I hope to eBay enough of them to pay for mine. I was just in Japan and saw the new Mario Kart Arcade GP, i really hope that gets released for the Wii, if not super monkey ball should hold me over.

For some reason alot of people have the impressions that the downloaded games will be free. But they have not announced the price for the classic games or the way they will be distributed.
