since my girlfriend was born and currently resides in Saskatchewan, i actually have a Canadian girlfriend. it's pretty funny how many people give me that little "riiiiight" look when i say that my girlfriend is, indeed, Canadian. i've gave up saying she lives in Saskatchewan after a few people...

you can't ever really know, that's both the problem and the fun of it. i've often thought along similar lines about my thoughts (or, my accurately, my imaginings) and how they are, at best, shallow representations of their equivalents in reality. a good way of putting it, albeit a little...

it's good to see that most people actually understand all the factors that go into making any mass produced... um, product haha. seriously though, like i said earlier it annoys the piss out of me when someone complains about how cheap the materials in a car are and thus it should "only cost...

i used to bartend in a pretty big concert venue in Manhattan. we'd get our syrup boxes for just over $4 each and each syrup box would make hundreds of cups of soda. even in Manhattan water is less than a penny a gallon so it actually comes out closer to $0.01 per glass if you have enough bulk...

i'm a huge Ratchet and Clank fan i'd honestly recommend playing every last one of them if you eventually have enough time. if i have to pick the best though, well, i'd say i enjoyed Tools Of Destruction for PS3 the best. i'm not sure why, it's just an absolute joy to play. for PS2 i'd go with Up...

i love when people say "how can that car possibly cost $25k? there's like $4000 of steel plastic and wiring in it!" obviously not thinking for a second about how much: money is spent on the R&D cost of bringing just ONE new model to market (from sketchboard to showroom this, on average, takes...

i'm really not trying to be a dick but all the points that you made along with some stuff others have already brought up are just so basic to the intrinsic nature of almost all economic systems that i just don't understand why people are questioning why Nintendo would make this move. nicely...

CNBC said back in late 07 that Sony took a loss on every PS3 it sold for the first year or so. after that the productions costs dropped significantly. as for Apple products, forget the iPods and iPads and such, just think about MacBooks, how does a MacBook Pro possibly cost literally $1000...

i don't understand the fuss. first of all there's literally dozens of compounded costs on top of just the raw materials, most of which have been brought up, but still. i'd assume all told it probably costs Nintendo about $150 to get each 3DS into someone's hands in any given part of the world...
