Engaging Loss Cutting Formation: N-Gage Price Drop


Gamestop and Electronics are offering a $100 dollar rebate on Nokia's handheld unit until November 2nd.

The rebate is an instant one, not mail-in as well. Because of this, it is not known whether Nokia is behind this price cut, or if it is the two retailers trying to unload their massive inventories. Interestingly, the N-Gage rebate is not mentioned on the official N-Gage website If it is mentioned, it is very well hidden. This tends to point to the latter that pushed for the cut.

Is the N-Gage heading the way of the Jaguar?

This is still not enough to save the system in my eyes. One can still get both a Gameboy SP AND a Gamecube for that price. This is just a company and some retailers trying to spare what little they can of their investment before it becomes another E.T. from the Atari 2600 age.

Phoenix I own a copy of that E.T. game. It's horrible; I urge all of you fortunate enough to have avoided its path to continue to do so. ^_^

Anyway, I concur with the N-Gage analysis; it seems to be going downhill.

Quite honestly, I think the concept behind the N-Gage was a good one, but our wireless technology is not yet at a point where the N-Gage is a feasible entertainment system (price-wise or reliability-wise), just as virtual reality technology wasn't strong enough when Nintendo chose to release the Virtual Boy.
