This evening Infendo readers Vincent and Will combed the fine print of Camp Hyrule, Nintendo’s online summer camp, and discovered what many of us already believed to be true: That the Wii will not exceed $250.
“For Camp Hyrule, one winner will be randomly selected to win a free Wii. In the description (aka small print) it said: 1) Wii video game system. Approximate retail value of the Wii video game system has not yet been determined, but will not exceed $250.00.”
Sure, this is expected, but on a slow Nintendo news day I thought this was significant because it kills off all that crazy talk created by our exclusive Infendo post on the 7-eleven Slurpee contest earlier this week that pegged the Wii with an ARV of $300. So rest easy, the Wii is back at $250 or below. This news, if anything else, also gives the $229 figure seen this week more clout.
