Ozymandias Gone to Machu Picchu for Two Weeks

, , ,

Title pretty much says it all, but I’m heading off to Peru with some friends to hike the Inca Trail and see the Machu Picchu ruins.

We will be gone for a few weeks (first multi-week vacation in years!), and that means I likely won’t be posting often. However, we should have plenty of transit time and I may get a chance to write up some offline posts here and there. In addition, Loraan may chose to grace these pages with his wry yet witty pontifications. Be gentle, as he hasn’t had the fun of being seared by comments of competitive console fans (nor does he even work in the industry).

Oh, and a last prediction since the announcement will be while I’m gone: Wii will price at $249 in the US. $149 is too low (puts into weird competition with DS), $199 is still too close to $149/originally-released DS price, and even at $249 they’ll sell every unit they can make this holiday. Yes, I know this would price a “Wii60″ ($400 Xbox 360/$249 Wii) at above the $599 Sony SKU, but that’s not Nintendo’s problem. Stick out tongue

Have a great month! If you need me, I will be here:

    on the wii price that is to high for a nintendo product.  150 – 200 because all new nintendo are always 200 no more no less.  plus this wii is nothing but a gamecube with a wiimote.  if they charge more than that i would be surprised really really surprised

    You’ll have a great time. Oh and when you go to Machu Pucchu be sure to check out the thermal spa. I’d imagine you’ll be staying at the town at the bottom of Machu Picchu. If you walk up the hill in the town past a load of bars and restaurants its just up there… very nice and relaxing after a few long days hiking.

    Oh and be sure to check out the Peruvian fire water… pisco!
