    Calling it the "Wii Game" is the real problem. It's the reason Nintendo has such a poor attach rate. A lot of people (people I know, scarily enough) don't even realize it does more than Wii Sports. Wii Fit has worked toward fixing this, but there are still quite a few people out there that think the Wii is simply a box that comes with Wii Sports and plays Wii Sports exclusively.


    Hasselhoff has always came off as sort of pathetic to me, so using his "celebrity," his daughter AND his alcoholism to score a "Wii game" doesn't surprise me at all. But the guy bragging about it does come as a bit of a shock.

    @Milkzhakes - got his tax return *seems pleased:


    That would be so awesome to take the Hoff on with the Knightrider theme. It could be a reality. Knowing Activision, they'll be announcing Guitar Hero: Television Theme Songs Edition any day now!


    @alanxu:


    That, of course, counts a controller (AKA - "Wii Play"). What is the PS3 attach rate, anyway? I own 10 games for the Wii and have MadWorld ordered. I don't even want to say how many games I have for the 360, because it's getting bloody damn ridiculous. I own 2 games for the PS3, but haven't owned a PS3 for quite a while, which would explain the shortage.

    Honestly?


    You're calling shame on this?


    If there was a game or system you really wanted and you could play the "I'm a celebrity" card as soon as yopu could if it meant you would get the game/system. Don't pretend you wouldn't.

    Anyone who has the audacity to make this should never ever trump the "celeb card".


    See that and gasp in horror!


    I admit he was funny in Click though.


    I assume Germans dig him because of all the war and suffering they've been through...That would've made them immune to his music.


    I kid about the German dig! god knows I don't want this thread to about nationality and whatnot. =D

    Wouldn't any decent store hold something for you for as little as 30 minutes? Methinks he over estimates his "influence"...

    @Bialia: Not here, I don't think. Especially if its often sold out. I think its some kind of store policy. I mean, for the most part, the stores don't want to do it because they don't want to lose a sale just in case you didn't show up and someone else wanted it.

    Whatever the cost to do this, it was worth it. Even if it doesn't ever sell a single C&C game, it will be worth it for future generations in a timeless sort of way.


    BTW, has anybody figured out the "!" exclamation mark beside the timecode? It goes off at certain points in the videos, but on for others...
