![]() And you thought the PS3 was expensive? Over at CompUSA Nintendo's Wii (which has a suggested retail price of US$237.50) has a price tag of US$1,119. How's that again? More than a grand for Wii? Early this month QJ.net posted CompUSA hardware and software markup sheet for the Wii. Back then, CompUSA's markup was a mere $12.49 not $881.56! Is inflation that bad? Did CompUSA got mega-greedy? Relax, kids. It's what they call in the business a SNAFU. SNAFU (short for Situation Normal: All F***** Up) is when an otherwise normal situation suddenly goes wrong. In this case Wii's price. So where did that $1,119 come from? If you take out the dollar sign you get 1,119. Now remove the comma and you get 1119. Separate the 11 from the 19 and you get 11 19. Or November 19 - Wii's target launch date. Things could have been worse. CompUSA could have included 2006 on the screwed up price tag making it look like the Wii will sell for $11,192,006!
