here in chile a local bank is launching a sales promotion
"get a nintendo wii for 24 monthly payments of just 3 dollars!!!!"

ok, 2 years is a lot and i would end up paying more than if i buy it cash (remember that all consoles are much more expensive in southamerica) but i have a good job so to me 3 bucks a month are next to nothing

problem is: you know i think the wii is a disgrace of a console, i dont give a crap about almost all of its games, i would play only zelda and MP3 corruption....and some gamecube games...., but the gamer inside me says that even then i should get it...just for sake of gaming needs

what do you think?

If you don't get it, someone else who will enjoy it will. I would.

It's a good idea:) I say you give the Wii a chance. I gave the 360 a chance and now I can't wait to buy one:D

$3 a month is like skipping over an occasional McDonalds visit or finding a bit of dropped cash in the street. It's nothing really, so I think it's worthwhile getting one for that price.

Why not $6 for one year? That is way spread out for such a cheap console.

$3 X 24 months = $72. Quote: (remember that all consoles are much more expensive in southamerica) Are you sure it's $3 a month? Is that in a different currency?

There's something wrong with that offer... $3/month for 24 months = $72 I don't know about you, but paying 1/3 the cost for a brand new video game system seems kind of fishy. This is too good to be true

What the hell? I cant understand that kind of thinking! A disgrace of a console? why? cos its trying to lure the non gamers into playing games? How sad do you have to be to call a console a disgrace? Because your a gamer? why did you play games in the first place? was it not to have fun? Or was it to experience the most realistic graphics EVER!? I think you wanted to be a gamer to have fun! the Wii offers that. Think before you speak.

Be sure to read any fine print there might be. You should go ahead and go for it. Not like you couldn't just sell it later if you don't like it.

That's not considering interest either.

I think you need to see Super Smash Bros. Brawl and understand that it will have online feature in it if not then you are too lazy.

yes....it was to good to be true..... i went to the bank website to confirm the offer (it came in an e-mail)

the email said
"24 payments of 1500 pesos" (500 pesos = 1 dollar)

but the website says this!!!!!


it was 11.500!!! it was a freakin typo, the stupid mail eated up a "1" , that means kinda like 23-24 dollars a month and thats something
sorry for this thread people, this was stupid

i think i'll call my lawyer to sue the bastards for giving me false hope :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
