N-Gamer Price

Stole this off a website:

"GameBoy is for 10-year-olds. If you're 20 or 25 years old, it's probably not a good idea to draw a GameBoy out of your pocket on a Friday night in a public space."

That is a quote from Ilkka Raiskinen, whose company will be taking on Nintendo's GBA in the coming year. Ilkka told this to Dow Jones Newswires after asking Ilkka why he didn't play his GBA on friday, yet played it in public space on sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and saturday. Ilkka then went on to say:

"It's ok to play GBA on friday nights only if you are at home, because friday is pizza night"

Now, another comment he made about the GBA is that it is for 10 year olds and that theirs is for 20 to 25 year olds. He then corrected himself and stated, "Oh, I mean people that have no lives, and deep pockets". Nokia also has made the price of the N-Gage officially at 200 bucks, which will keep Little 10 year old timmy away from the N-Gage, good way to stick to those kids Nokia!

Just like to point out the Game Boy Advance SP's main buyer is a 23 year old male.

I do like the idea overall but unfortunately for me a phone needs to be small and manageable etc... This phone will probably be great for overlal fun but to me it just reminds me of the Nokia Communicator which came out ages ago. Big screen Internet access etc... but for a phone to carry about when your out its a real pain in the arse.

I'll be interested to see what response this has once its readily avaialble in the shops......

And at less than £160 it looks like a bargain.......but I wonder what the game prices are going to be....similar to the GB, or all wirelsss downloads.

its out in october and is gonna cost around £180 but thats without a contract. That should bring intial price down alot, though your tariff will probably be pretty minty!
