What Else Could You Get for the Cost of a Nintendo Wii?

[Graffin]

I just finished this article over at Bright Hub and I gotta say I had a lot of fun with it. I was curious just how far a person could stretch the $200 cost of a Nintendo Wii if they decided to spend it elsewhere, so I got out the calculator and did a little math:

Sure, you could drop your two-hundred hard-earned dollars on a shiny white video game console, but have you considered the other things that you could pick up for that same amount of money? Do you have any idea how many Q-Tips two hundred dollars will buy? Post-it Notes? How about ramen noodles?

a half ounce of medical grade marijuana is also 200 bucks; no mention of that in the article??? :toke:

No idea what it costs, unfortunately. Though I did mention Mad Dog 20/20, so that's gotta count for something.

i am living in Denmark for a wee while and for $200 you could buy just over 20 hot dogs from 7/11, it is very expensive here!!!
