The popular Nintendo console is still a must have item for a lot of people, but how far would you go to just play one? Well for some people, they will go a long way.
There is a deal with Nintendo that some hotel chains will get a customized Wii console to use. At Manhattan’s Le Parker Meridian hotel, you can have the luxury of playing a Nintendo Wii, but for a price. Before you can get your hands on a Wii remote and start playing, you need to dish out $120 from your pocket. What you get for that $120 is Wii Sports “training.” Guests will work out with a trainer on a specific Wii Sports game like tennis or boxing, which is projected onto a racquetball court wall. Now if you are one of those anti-social types, you have an option to rent a Wii to play solo for only $50 an hour. This is one of the best deals of your life in you don’t mind paying almost half of what a Wii costs to play just for an hour. I don’t know about you, but I think I’ll just bring my own Wii along

This seems way to expensive. $50 an hour for solo, WTF?! I guess they only expect casual gamers to play. And $120 for a crappy training game? Huh, what a rip off.
doesn't suprise me.. sometimes when i'm at a hotel they have a Nintendo 64 or Super Nintendo system there, but you have to pay like $30 to use it..
That's freaking ridiculous in my opinion. I feel sad for the sorry saps that actually use this service. They need to send me some money because they apparently have way too much.
i dunno, what else are you supposed to do with strippers at 2 in the morning

Since when is 1/5ths "almost half"?
I meant the $120 dollars.
Man 50 dollars an hour? you might as-well save up your money and buy wii, im pretty sure some stores have wiis
I know, this is really ridiculous. I would never do this no matter what.
