who gives a shit if the memory card is needed or not. So instead of 540 plus tax (640 with the wireless LAN, which I would want for PDZ) you pay 500/600 plus tax. Well NOW I can afford it! *w/dur*
I remember when GC hit I was standing in Walmart at midnight and I spent under 300 bucks (WITH tax) and got an extra controller (25), a game (Rogue) (50) and a memory card (3rd party, 15). The only other thing I had to buy later was the 30 bucks for the component cables. I hope Nintendo repeats that performance or even better is out of the gate at 150 and assuming the controller is under 50 bucks and a memory card is under 40 and a game is still around 50 you could walk out of the store with everything you need at under 250 bucks.
