Fantastic, even more choice for consumers

I know I'll be looking for one of the cheaper ones, that just gives me the ability to play the odd time on the weekends.

With all the choices though, it may confuse some

sounds pretty reasonable. I am glad they didn't jack up the prices too much. A couple of extra bucks a month is not bad at all.

How come Nintendo can do this for free?

Because there won't be nearly as much usage.

I wasn't aware Nintendo had any online service at all.

Or are you making predictions about what might happen with the Revolution and it's hypothetical online service?

Hypothetical? It has already been announced
Please don't post if you are clueless.

Um?

They have also stated that they wouldn't have an online service unless they could provide it without a cost to the consumer.

I sure can't see into the future, but at least I can use Google ..

Nintendo does it for free because they think more people will buy the system by giving away this feature, so this is my prediction

nintendo goes out of business, OH SNAP!

Considering they actually make a profit on their consoles ..

They're not going anywhere.
