EA follows Infendo’s advice, bundles MotionPlus with Tiger Woods
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 1:35pm by Jack
EA confirmed today that Tiger Woods PGA 10 will be bundled with MotionPlus. Other territories outside North America will get similar treatment, as well as the tennis title.
Fun fact: When you’re right about things as often as we are here at Infendo, it hurts a little right in the middle of your chest. But in a good way.
David: Wii MotionPlus = $20? Yeesh.
Jack: When people actually use it, that’s going to become a sweet spot price point.
My prediction anywayDavid: Yeah, but is it just another zapper? An afterthought for devs? Games won’t ever require the damn thing.
Jack: All i can say is it will be different this time. And that Nintendo might counter that trend by having publishers include it with games as a bundle. Voila, problem solved.
Big mystery now is the price point. Make it $60, EA, and profit.
UPDATE: Our friends at Gizmodo have GameStop confirming the $60 price point.

I plan to take an x-acto knife to that rubber sheath, if it doesn’t detach of its own free will.

Well it sure looks like Tiger is orgasmic about it.

I think Jack actually works at EA… or at Nintendo. You can’t be right 3 out of 3 like that!

10 bucks is a great price for Wii Motion Plus. Thanks for taking care of that, Jack and David. If it wasn’t for you guys, we’d be paying at least 20, maybe even more.
By the way, David, I think there’s been tentative confirmation that the WM+ attachment will come out of its jacket.

“it hurts a little right in the middle of your chest. But in a good way.”
Just like a massive hit of bubble hash.

Wait, are people actually surprised by this? I’ll say it for the millionth time, Nintendo actually intends on this peripheral to succeed. This is what it takes for that to happen.

maaan- just watched the ign demo. letdown.
