[quote name='neudog']Also I have a question for all of you in regards to Wii Sports. It has been mentioned that this will be going for around $39.99, but Gamestop has it for Pre-order at $59.99 and releasing Dec. 1st:

Do you all think it's fair to force a $60 game on us or do you feel this is a way Nintendo is giving us a discount at launch? Honestly, I'm like alot of people posting in this thread, if the game is boosting the price of the console package I'd much rather have a choice of game.[/QUOTE]
That price is simply a place-holder. I doubt you'll see a stand-alone version of Wii-Sports until they stop bundling it.
Anyone who would pay $50 or $60 for Wii Sports is pretty much a putz anyway. It's more or less a tech demo. It's a tech demo that I'm excited about, and am glad will come with the system, but in its state of limited gameplay on 5 sports, I'm thinking it's really only a $20ish game, unless those sports are a lot deeper than I've been lead to believe.
That being said, Wii Sports is pretty much THE piece of software at launch to show gamers and non-gamers alike what could be done with the system. From the looks of it, it's for the Wii what Kirby was for the DS for me: the demo game. "See, this non-traditional input can be kinda cool!"
