Is this a $15 downloadable or a $60 retail product? I might consider it if it's the former.

I always get excited when I see someone has a new console, that only lasted for about four second this time though.

I think the unboxing of a system is a bit different than the unboxing of a game, which is what most other places do.

Thanks for reading that stuff about transferring Virtual Console games, Vinny. That's what I'm most concerned about.

I hope I can port over my 3DS Mii, or at least recreate it, cuz that little guy looks so much like me it's crazy.

I imagine that Vinny has a cartoon character closet full of jeans and black t-shirts.

I love that the first minute of this video is just them trying to balance the box on their heads.

This is the dumbest website in the world.

I am so indifferent about the Wii U launch. In a year it is already obsolete.
