Hotels Renting Wii's From $50 per HOUR!!

[jesta]

Manhattan's Le Parker Meridien Westin chain of hotels know what, at the moment, is hot. And what's most likely to get idiot holidaymakers (or adventurous business travelers with expense accounts) to part with silly amounts of cash money. It's not a well-stocked mini-bar. It's not convenient, discrete access to pornography. No, it's the Nintendo Wii, which they'll soon be offering in two ways to guests. One way is to rent the console from reception for $50. An hour. The other is to pop into the hotel's gym and work out with a personal trainer on a Wii. For $120 an hour. I promise you, cross my heart, this is not a lie. Indeed, it's just the tip of a games-console-rip-off iceberg, with other hotels offering stuff like DDR, Guitar Hero and Halo, all charged at extortionate rates.

I might start renting mine out, if thats the price you can get, I'll also be the personal trainer for $120 per hour lol

Wow.....5 hours and you should have just bought a wii!

That's crazy.

Lol, I'm just trying to picture it...

So, you've gone on holiday or a business trip, you book a top class hotel to stay in when your not out doing something special or working. So, my question is, who stays in their hotel room when on holiday/at work. And who will pay, as Luigi says, probably over the price for a Wii to play while on your HOLIDAY!!??

Madness!!

That is crazy. What a way to make a quick buck...
Then again, it would probably just be a case of "Let's 'train you' with Boxing since that's the only good game we know on the Wii". xD

lets see...i rent my ds and my wii...ds $30 and wii $50...my gamecube for $20...and that is $100 by missing your consoles for a hour...rofl

 

[knuckles_sonic8]

Heh. When I was younger, I used to want to raise money by charging people to play my games. xD

But I mean c'mon, $50 an hour is just a TAD over the top.

Wow, that's hilarious actually. If I could make $50 an hour with my wii I'd rent it out And to think, you could play old n64 games on the hotel network for 8.00 an hour :O

It would be really funny if they rented it and just played N64 games on the VC! Hahaha

[guyofgod]

I don't think people would rent mine Almost all of my friends have managed to get one

I could spend one hour renting a wii out or I would have to ump 6 hours of little league games!

[evilflame]

I'd rather bring my own Wii with me for that rate.
