If there’s a cooler Nintendo Wii out there, it’s this one. The black Nintendo Wii has been out in other countries for centuries now, but finally there’s a glorifying PR that clearly states May 9 as the day you’ll be able to grab a fully black Wii for $199.99 that comes with a copy of Sports Resort and the Motion Plus adapter for your spanking-new black Wiimote. So now it brings the question: give us one reason why you’d buy the white model over the new black one? You would? That’s alright, you’re welcome to buying the white one too, in its old and over-used white plastic coloring.
Soon this spring Nintendo Wii owners will have access to Netflix’s media streaming services. Start at a minimum plan of $8.99 a month, users will have the same privileges as Xbox 360 and PS3 owners. As with the PS3, Wii owners will have to obtain a free disc from Netflix’s website, and will have to load the disc to actually stream content. The disc ships this Spring, and you’ll need a broadband connection on your Wii. What I’m wondering though is that since the Wii cannot go past the 480p mark, there will be no HD. Would you still bite?
