Okay, that pisses me off. I bet I got screwed because I got them on the launch date and preordered. In the case of GC I actually got it at midnight in Walmart in a two hour line, and when I got to the front they had sold out of purple.
My final GC cost; GC, Rogue Leader, memory card, was like 350. A 50 dollar difference isn't a big deal, but I could have gotten another game had it been 50 bucks cheaper for the system.
That extra cost in Wii's case makes more sense with the inclusion of Wii Sports which I do want.
Okay, I googled 250 for GC and I found out alot of stores sold preorders at 250 and then didn't refund the 50 at launch. Turns out both N64 and GC were announced at 250 by Nintendo and then brought down to 200 at launch. This is me feeling used.
