Mukhang sa Sep 13 na yung pricing announcement ng nintendo... Im also keeping my fingers and toes crossed na totoo yun $249 basic price tag.. :pray: :rofl:

One thing that may steal some thunder of the event is the reported Iphone 5 announcement coming a day earlier :bigmouth: But heck kung kung $249 yan that would be too hard to resist :win:

Hmm..kaya lang aside from the Zombie game, parang wala pa ako nakita na medyo gusto ko. Hindi din kasi ako masyado fan ng Zelda games kaya other than ZombieU, possible Mario launch title lang ang iniisip ko dahilan bumili nito. But if it is indeed true that we might see a possible PS4 sometime between 2013-2014, baka hintayin ko na lang yun kasi ayaw ko din naman mag load ng masyado maraming console. :sweat:
