Topic: A bad problem

Not if he has VC he wants to keep

You think I really want to get rid of FFVI and all 200+ games I have for wii? No.

Use $30-$40 to buy them a lot of cheap alcohol.

Get them really drunk.

Then ask to be able to preorder this awesome cool new console that's coming out.

Won't fail.

just show your grandpa bayonetta 2 he will understand

Errr... Some of these posts are Crazy suggestions (Like REALLY crazy), just tone it down a bit guys.

• "It's the same as the Wii." HD visuals, innovative game pad, NintentoTVii, better online funcionality.
• "The price will drop soon." Nintendo has stated several times that they have set the price so that it won't change any time soon.

just annoy them till they either hit you or take you there to buy it

Also, as it has been said by someone else, the Wii is at the end of its cycle. There won't be any more games released for it soon. All the games will be released for the Wii U in the near future.

Of all the suggestions I've read, having a Gamestop clerk explain the system seems to be the best choice. I would say you could explain yourself, but I don't think it would help at this point.

Maybe you could make a PowerPoint presentation? I know it may seem silly, but it would make a lot of things easier to explain, with things like side by side comparisons and the like possible.

For the record my idea actually would work. People lose a lot of inhibitions when drunk. The value of money and the urge to suppress impulse buying being one of the first that goes.

Its legal in russia.

well russia is messed up then
(no offence not all russians are messed up just the rule is)

Could we please stop talking about punching his grandparents? He's already said that option isn't on the table.

If anyone says another comment about them being punched....

I'LL SEND KEFKA AFTER ALL OF YOU

i send the rebirth of mithos jk
just beg them to death untill they say yes

My advice: Go outside and play a sport. Life is short

do it while speakingin the bale ish voice

anyways show them the pictures of the system and tablet and compare them to the wii plus show them the box art and compare that to the wii

that has to get thier attention, they couldnt possibly be that naive could they? o.o

I guess the GameStop clerk is your best option. None of the other solutions...(except my own)...has any actual...weight in your grand's eyes.

Plan B though, you wait until the Wii U actually comes out and take your grandparents to GameStop. They should have a demo stand. You can then demonstrate the Wii U's new capabilities and why you should be able to get it ASAP. A bit of patience is required, but it'll be worth it if it works.

This is why I said my earlier comment. I think a lot of people missed this.

He could also go into MLG. It's growing pretty fast pretty much everywhere, especially in Asia.

In regards to TheDreamingHawk, you could try asking your grandparents why they think the price will drop in less than a year. If they say because it isn't selling well, then you can point out that it's selling out of preorders right now, so if that is any indication, it will sell very well.

Also, there is the option of telling your grandparents that 100 dollars doesn't matter as much to you as getting the (deluxe) system early. If you still aren't able to preorder it, then your final option would simply be to buy a regular when it comes out.
