“The most striking news is that the Revolution will be available for less than $300. Well, so was the Xbox 360… sort of. More like $600 plus, if you count the hard drive and peripherals. Fils-Aime implied that a complete and accessible package will cost less than $300, which could give MS and Sony a run for their money. Nintendo’s strategy here is to keep the console inexpensive, and not waste the consumer’s money on features they may never use, like HD games.” > **[TheINQUIRER - news, reviews and opinion for tech buffs](https://www.theinquirer.net/?article=29192)** > > TheINQUIRER publishes daily news, reviews on the latest gadgets and devices, and INQdepth articles for tech buffs and hobbyists. ---

> [@Poose22](#): > > i wonder how much is less than 300$. prolly $299 BINGO!!! And I’m not surprised by the news. Nintendo did this with the Gamecube; Xbox and PS2 were seeling for $299 and the Gamecube came out at $199. Taking that into consideration, I won’t be surprised if its starts near the $250. ---

I love how systems are sold at the “amazing price of $$$” when that doesn’t include any games… a second controller… just about nothing to get you started… you have to pay a couple hundred more for a couple controllers and 2 or 3 games. Crazy shit anymore. I miss the good ole days when my NES came with 2 controllers and a game cartridge that had not one but two games on it. Ah those were the days… to bad we won’t see that ever again. :rant: ---

> [@Zer0DazE](#): > > i dont really understand the need for fake realism. if you want real, go outside. 🙂 Seriously! And have you ever played eternal darkness for the game cube? Probably one of the best games i have ever played and it was very un cartooney. The other systems seem to be having this pissing contest about how powerful they are instead of going the innovative route. ---
